Read our privacy policy Elon Musk reportedly fired virtually all of Tesla’s Supercharger vehicle charging team after a presentation and argument with a top executive. Mr Musk made the decision to fire most of the personnel on the 500-member team after a meeting with charging chief Rebecca Tinucci, according to anonymous company sources who spoke with Reuters. Following a decade of investment, Tesla’s network of rapid charging stations now includes more than 6,200 facilities across the world, and formed a core part of Tesla’s sales pitch to customers, promising to match the scope and convenience of conventional refueling infrastructure for gasoline-powered cars. “That’s just on new sites and expansions, not counting operations costs, which are much higher.” Company insiders, however, told Reuters that contractors and municipal governments who’d made long-term plans based on the Supercharger network were frustrated with the firings.
