Hi Folks,
I normally don't join in on the debates/flamewars. In this case, I feel
I must.
For starters, I work for Chargepoint as one of the standards development
team. I'm one of the chairs of JWG1 (which makes ISO 15118-2).
I deal with a LOT of different EVs as part of our interoperability
testing, won't name names due to NDAs, but it's just about all of them.
I get to see the pre-production units with warts and all.
*Personal opinion:
*I haven't built up the cash to buy a Tesla, and instead I own a 2016 VW
eGolf. Nice city car. I was seriously looking into buying one of the
Hertz Teslas, but the cash hasn't been there.
Now, I won't buy one. I have the cash, but no way.
I used to be a bit jealous of the Tesla charging network, but now I fear
for its collapse.
I feel this is a slow-motion train-wreck that will imperil the EV
adoption in the US.
*Back on thread
*While David did inject some opinion into his reporting, he did make it
clear that it was his opinion. So I'm going to side with him on this
particular business. I've got several friends at Tesla (at least I
think they are still there), and this sort of mass-layoff will only
drive away the stellar talent Tesla is well known for.
Tesla has done a lot of good things - and no company is perfect. I
really, really hope that this move will work out, and will improve the
industry. Yet, I'm also a skeptic, and worry that this won't work out.
Thanks for listening.
Peter
