Pfff, Elon bad. Fired the whole Supercharger team from top to bottom. End of the world. Unless… Let’s remember what happened in June, 2022 at SpaceX and what happened after. On that bloody day… Elon Musk dismissed several top managers of the Starlink project at SpaceX. Among those fired were Jonathan Hofeller, who had been leading the global connectivity efforts for Starlink, and Rajeev Badyal, the technical chief of Starlink, as well as the technical director of spacecraft. Musk's reason for the dismissals was his dissatisfaction with the pace of development of the Starlink satellites, particularly with the technological advancements that would allow for a broader and more efficient deployment of the service. In short, the team assured him that no global constellation was possible within five years. That was a big mistake to tell! Only two years later Starlink not only has a global constellation of 6000 satellites but millions of subscribers in dozens of countries. All this magic happened under a new team. The end of the world turned out to be a little bit exaggerated. Now what’s wrong with Tesla Superchargers? Among other things the growing of the network is unbearably slow in many places. I remember well that at the beginning of 2023 we were invited by Tesla to vote for new Supercharger locations worldwide. It was more than a year ago and our local winner place is still an empty parking lot in Pécs. Elon is right: this is unacceptable. And his proven management style is this: fire those who had already done the maximum they could, and give the task to new players. Now we just sit back, relax and watch the miracle unfold. 🍿
