Tesla’s profitable Supercharger network is in limbo after Musk axed the entire team

Elon Musk unexpectedly disbanded Tesla's profitable Supercharger team, which was responsible for a network of over 50,000 charging ports worldwide. Despite consistently meeting ambitious growth targets, the entire division was laid off. This decision casts uncertainty on the future expansion and maintenance of the Supercharger network, which has been crucial in alleviating range anxiety for electric vehicle owners. Additionally, Tesla's recent financial struggles and layoffs further complicate the network’s prospects, even as the company plans a $500 million investment in the network's expansion and upgrade.
