I was part of the recent layoffs at Tesla and this bites hard. Grateful that I kept some savings north of 300k tho! Now I am looking for ways to allocate this into my portfolio to generate good dividends to supplement for my monthly expenses.

When giga Texas came on line I made the choice to move from California and career change. Ten k later I moved to Manor Texas got a job at Tesla worked hard and on time for two months three weeks. When I got an email from them. Not even a call letting me know I was no longer needed. Me and about twenty people. For no reason what's so ever . None Tesla would give. I personally don't think it was Elon or upper management. But I absolutely lost all respect for Tesla and the mindset there. I wish them the best but don't go working for them. Their loyalty is the dollar and you are just a tool to that company.

Tesla looks like it's going big. I really want to profit from the market this year. I have about $40k I want to invest in the market. My brain doesn't do very well in understanding these things. How else could I utilise the market opportunity?

Spend 42 billion dollars on a non profitable social media website 👌

They may have eliminated 10% of the workforce, but I'd bet they also eliminated about 30% of the loyalty in the remaining workforce. The cold shoulder works in both directions, and there will be far fewer employees willing to extend themselves beyond the bare minimum required for the job.

The one thing that's never changed in my forty years of working with chemical storage batteries is that they do not like "supercharging".

thousands of chargers are not enough.. There need to be millions of chargers.. there are not just thousands of gasoline stations around the world, there are millions of them, and the charging stations will have to display what they are selling electricity for by the KW just like gasoline stations display the price they are selling gasoline for by the gallon to compete for your business.. and they are missing the boat completely if they do not build coffee, shops, and places to hang out while waiting for your car to be charged, which can take hours. They also Must have bathroom facilities for these people that are gonna be waiting for hours for their cars to charge.. how many customers does each gas pump in a gas station service per day? Per hour? i’m guessing that a gas pump can service 10 to 12 customers per hour .. an electric charging station can probably only service 10 to 16 customers per charger per day depending on variables, like cold .. don’t forget, there will probably be cars waiting for chargers to become available. Those people will also be needing a place to wait for hours at times… so if there is a charging station with 20 chargers operational. and let’s say there are two cars waiting at each charger for the charger to become available, that’s 60 people that are going to need to use the bathroom, need to get in out of the weather, need to have something to drink or eat, and probably fall asleep at times besides in their car.. it was very cold out, or if it’s very hot, they can’t be sitting in their car, running the heater or the air conditioner while charging. They need to get in out of the weather while they are waiting. There’s a lot of figuring to do

Tesla is laying off workers in the droves. We have a problem Houston 😅

I think you are missing the point about firing the supercharging team. It was the people that had the relationships with people at the other car companies and third parties that made zero sense to let go. Those companies have lost all confidence in Tesla. I get it if Elon is not happy with the engineering side. Maybe he’s not happy with 4680 charging. Maybe he’s not happy with the slow rollout of V4. Or it could be the problems with getting all EV models to charge optimally. But I don’t get the loss of interpersonal skills needed between people at Tesla and the other companies.

@8.51 looks very much remote controlled to me. I'm still skeptical about the Teslbot being ready anytime soon, even in Elon years.

Musk: Employees are expensive and must go. Also Musk: I need a 56 billion dollar incentive to keep "working" here.

Cutting the further deployment of charging stations seems insane to me. I mean we dont have any in my area. I think the nearest charger is over 40 miles away from where I live. Thats insane that the chances are there will be no further charges being installed to cater for the 300,000 people that live in my area.

Their not selling enough cars, simple.

Must cut to the bone to ensure that there is $47 billion dollar bonus for musk

I did not even know the local NYC "Green Ride' thing until this video! It's not the direct subject, by NYC rot toward '3rd world living' by green initiatives are well under way. Gas stoves bans in new bldgs. ,gas HVAC bans, aims to ban or restrict or tax out of existence private gasoline vehicles, bans or closing or non-green electricity production, environmental groups blocking power lines from Canada-Quebec Hydro to NYC to make up for lower power generation here. We already have brown out protections days each summer when some of high rise elevators are taken out of service, and apt. bldg, laundry room are closed. This is our city Govt which is most concerned with ____ issues but not ______ so much, They have time to pass local law for coming ban on individually (plastic of course) wrapped cheese slices. How can this stand?

Walmart will experience the same thing duane reade did. Duane reade had a whole fleet of all electric trucks and proudly displayed on the sides. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone and duane reade went back to good old reliable diesel. No word on what happened. My guess is they were getting road calls from drivers all over the country with a dead truck so after hundreds of thousands of dollars in tow fees they had enough.

As usual, we will need to get through a truck battery replacement period before we know the real story.

The fact yall surprised is wild. He’s hemorrhaging money daily and all his promises are years behind. This should make a good Thunder video.

I hope elon acquires some ICE engineers, stacking all your chips on EV's is looking rather grim at this moment...

I really appreciate the theory of NACS adoption playing into the decision of cutting costs in the Supercharging division. Thank you for connecting the dots.

Tesla stock dipped severally , resulting to about 23% drop in the shares value this month. I seriously need suggestions on how to diversify my $400k portfolio made up of volatile TSLA.

nice nod to the voice actor change of past. well done

The problem with electric semi-trucks is that, to protect the roads, these trucks have a maximum weight limit. Diesel and biofuel fuel has much more energy per pound than batteries. If you use batteries to power these trucks, they will work but will only be able to carry a fraction of the cargo weight they do now. Truckers are paid to haul cargo, not to haul the energy they need to run. For this reason, using diesel or biofuel seems like a much more economic solution for powering big semi-trucks.

My guess is that Tesla will produce the supercharger hardware and will sell it to others to install at a much larger scale. Installing individual supercharger stations is not really scalable...let others setup stations and Tesla will still make $$ of the hardware and probably will take a percentage of charging that happens via their network..makes 100% sense if this is the direction.

Appreciate the even handed coverage of the layoffs especially concerning the supercharger staff. Some people get so emotional they lose all objectivity.

Super charging is really important for people 😊

Don’t give up guys. Supply and demand. Congratulations you met the demand.

You have done an excellent job here for us at Tesla! Your fired. Workers looking on: Wow, I'd better not work myself out of a job!

We are living in different times... even the bots are looking lazy and moving really slow. I'll give it 6 months to a year... and the bots will start calling in sick or just not showing up at all. Lazy bastards!

Another fantastic video, as usual! Change can indeed be challenging, especially when it involves replacing the familiar and beloved voice behind these videos. It's only when that voice is absent that we truly realize how much we've come to enjoy it. Nonetheless, I want to express my appreciation for the depth of research and the articulate delivery of these videos. They're not only well-written but also impeccably presented.

I asked a friend if she knew where electricity came from. She responded, " From electrical poles. " Now I know what politicians think...

It's crazy how on a whim these ceos can ruin so many lives. Gross.

What is the environmental and human (mostly children) cost though for mining the materials for these batteries? Even if there was the infrastructure for charging like gas stations have - there's no way I could drive a Tesla (or any EV) due to these costs of cobalt and lithium mining.

Normal everyday policy in the 80s, hire enough people to satisfy a contract and when the contract was fulfilled you got your notice at the end of the day and if you were close to being vested in a pension plan you weren't called back, That's not even the worst, now it's becoming a practice that if you give a two week notice, you get fired on the spot and they put that on your record! So if you plan to leave a job give those eFers a post it note the day you quit.

My Ford Mav hybrid is averaging 43 mpg for the MSRP of $22.5K. I’m satisfied with that.

Elon is a part time CEO. The fact that so much of the senior leadership is off means there isn't anyone left at the helm. It doesn't matter what the vision is if no one is there making sure that it happens. On a recent day Elon talked about how long his work day was, I looked at his twitter history and found 45 tweets and more than 150 likes. His main focus is absolutely and squarely on twitter, not on Tesla or SpaceX.

Tesla Superchargers already have 99.5% up-time. No other public charging network is close in reliability. While fixing problems in vey cold weather is important, focus should be on network expansion

"It's not that I don't love you! It's time for you to leave the nest!"

Icarus, in Greek mythology perished by flying too near the Sun with waxen wings.

The government would have to have a new department to study ev charging stations and would never solve the problem.

I’m so many places in the world there are enough chargers to get you from A to D but, if you want to divert of a straight path to the next supercharger to visit B and C, you will have to accept much longer charging periods from third parties and you schedule will add days to your sightseeing schedule.

8:56 You need a person to control the robot? . It looks like Tesla is starting to tank. Heard that hundreds of Teslas are sitting in parking lots all around the country, waiting to be sold. If true can explain the layoffs, until sales pickup again.

Ah I see, Tesla had already dominated the EV charging market, and unless Tesla wants to spend hundreds of millions in court for monopolizing the EV charger they kind of had to back down. And with the bonus fact Tesla NACS had become the US standard EV port. That'll give time for 3rd party systems to begin operating, as well as EV competitors systems.

Baglino was in charge of developing the 4680 battery which has been a failure. It was announced in 2019 it would be production to scale. They still have too much scrap and an expensive process. Plus it's close to being obsolete already. My guess is Musk made life intolerable for Baglino.

Call ❤ supercharger team, and nobody answers. Still sounds very, very stupid move.

It could be that all the design engineering overhead necessary for supercharging stations is done. Now about all that's left is step and repeat production for completed designs. That shouldn't require a huge design engineering staff. Actual installations or expansions of the SC stations can probably be done more efficiently by local contractors (instead of Tesla employees) using standardized parts from Tesla. Maybe Elon is also stepping back a bit because of SC station electrical loads being more than local grids can supply without increasing their capacity. That last is the ultimate elephant in the room where limitation of electric vehicle numbers is concerned. The cost of building more power plants and increased distribution capacity to support large numbers of EVs will probably reduce everybody's mobility no matter how their vehicle is powered.

Tesla's days are numbered, the company has 3-5 years before they go bust. King rat says they're going to sell robo-taxis as the Cyberturd is an abject failure, Semi sucks and their other cars are boring and old. EV sales are in terminal decline because they're crap except for a few implementations (city cars where they are at peak efficiency) If Tesla are serious about robo-taxis then public charging stations will be unnecessary, I guess existing customers can go *#£¿ themselves. Anyone putting themselves into any eco system reliant on anything made by a company involving King rat is at this point, given his abysmal track record, deserves what inconvenience they get.

Interesting comments. I would imagine ,Elon knows what he is doing.

Apparently, EnviroSpark wants to hire Supercharger talent

If you think there is actually a working fleet of electric semi trucks out there, or on the way, you must have a smooth brain.

Best wishes Congratulations sir Welcome

I vote for buying a car rental dealership in a large city like.... Chicago, near the train stations down town. Having a parking garage to line with chargers, and pay for parking & charging, etc. All in 1.

New York and California mandated that the charging stations be built so they must subsidize or shut up.

Somebody said when they are on the road they use a small Harbor Freight gas generator to charge their car rather than deal with the charging stations... I guess you can charge your car super quick with one of those!! Too weird eh...

Elon’s basically just created Shell, infront of everyone and no one even noticed. 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If Demand was good none if this would be happening so

The bots may be running at half the speed as a human but they can work 3 times longer

Uber's not gonna need those NYC chargers after all if Tesla rolls out a robotaxi network.

6:41 😂😂 after hearing he wasn’t a robot, it felt a lot better

The supercharges can be installed by contractors. They don’t need staff for this. It’s smart. It’s good business.

You don’t need to charge them unless you are on a road trip.

Tesla stock swings too much to calmly accumulate and hold, After buying TSLA shares for just over 10 years, i'm struggling to make gains presently. How do i adjust or revamp my $2M portfolio? or should i consider some defensive investments?

Little did he know. He fired his compensation package. I will make example of him by rejecting the vote.

Superchaging off the table is smart. Cost cutting somethings you dont need to do is smart

Not weird, just hard-headed business sense.

How do people not make this connection??? 🤯 Tesla has a level 2 and 3 charger designed. They showed it previously! They don't have a vehicle, other than the CT and Tesla Semi, that can achieve those charging speeds. All they have to do is manufacture them. Why would they keep those design teams to design anything faster at this time???? You don't. Those teams completed their work. Now, they just have the manufacturing teams in place.

Getting rid of the charger network team is really like shooting yourself in the face. The charger network is a major reason why many people choose Tesla over other EVs or even choose and EV in the first place. It is such an asset to Tesla and the category. They should be expanding the network further and lead the charge in providing a stable charging network for all TVs

simply being a prudent business owner. Sales are down and some must expenses. Simple as that otherwise they make a loss its been an amazing ride so far.

"The next growth..". Not in EVs. Musk pulled Tesla off that path with the CyberTruck, and even further off that path by cancelling the Model 2 (yes, he did, what's proposed is just variants of the current models with minor price change), and is throwing everything into AI that was only a sideline to the main mission, and doesn't seem to be working. But Musk got bored with the main mission, and isn't moving Tesla toward twenty million EVs per year.

Cancelling internships when there are layoffs of actual employees is something I've seen all the way back to the early 80s. Not news.

Can you get it to say danger, danger danger, Robinson?

We are not nervous at all stop speaking for Tesla owners.

Those robots are only using one hand at a time. Man’s got two hands, man uses both hands. A robot could double its productivity by just using the other hand to also move batteries with.

I wonder if there was a security issue at the Charging Station deployment? ie. was there a vulnerability in the stations that would make them susceptible to cyber attacks.

Just typical things a man like him goes through. He’s the only one who has to understand it.

They have cut the number of humans needed to operate Optimus in half - down from 4 at introduction on stage to only two for packaging batteries...One to push the batteries into place for grasping and one actually operating the robot's controls. Nice.

Some execs didn't want to cut the dead wood in their departments so they were made an example of as a warning to others.

This is why some people don’t run big businesses and do KZfaq videos.

Very good explanation.😊

Continue supporting Tesla and I will continue shorting his stock...

He's no longer interested in EV, he's worked in them for 20 years now. It's given him more headaches than SpaceX. All his effort is going to AI and robotics now.

The sales of EV's are slowing. Most people do not want to have to charge their vehicles (even so called fast charging) over long trips. EVs are only good as a second car if you have a garage. Even 10 minutes charging in the snow or rain or even heat.

Don’t be surprised when Dru becomes CEO of GM

ThanKs BrotheR😂😅❤🎉

"Elon's Twitterization of Tesla."

They were all directly or indirectly associated with sales. Elon is looking for designers/developers. When an employee starts to focus more on sales vs. development, they are at risk of being replaced by an engineer focused on development. The idea is that great products are easy to sell. Once NACS became a public standard, it became self sustaining eliminating the need for further development of a NACS-2. This also helps Tesla avoid Government scrutiny when it comes to monopolistic behavior.

Sem palavras es gigante e realmente faz a diferença nesse mundo eterna gratidão

"In October 2022, Musk told investors that his goal was to make 50,000 Semis in 2024." What are there now, 100 Tesla semis in the world? This is an abysmal failure. When is Musk going to be held accountable for all the broken promises and lies he has told to pump the stock price?

As a Tesla owner and Tesla shareholder, I think the Cybertruck was the beginning of the end!

It gets too cold in my area to have one.

Sounds like Tesla lacks the money to create, improve, install and expand the charging infrastructure and now hope other EV manufactors take up that burden. Harebrained law, btw. creating a demand for a missing infrastructure.

I thought the truck wasn't working well as far as load capacity is concerned.

Life in prison for all who serve WEF instead of humanity.

That robot isnt doing the work, the human is using the robot to mimic the humans movements...

Thanks!

An evil man will burn his own Company to the ground to rule over the ashes." ~ Sun Tzu

Every Tesla owner will tell you that they don't need charging stations since they always charge at home.

1:21 good graphics job, AI.

Great updates on all things "Tesla"!

There is no need for additional "Super Chargers" in NYC, In a year or so NYC will be unrecognizable. Everyone that can afford an EV will have left and the cost of paying the "Congestion Surcharge" pretty much dooms those that can't afford to leave.
