  To all concerned: You may be aware that there has been a recent adjustment with the Supercharger organization which is presently undergoing a sudden and thorough restructuring. If you have already received this email, please disregard it as we are attempting to connect with our suppliers and contractors. As part of this process, we are in the midst of establishing new leadership roles, prioritizing projects, and streamlining our payment procedures. Due to the transitional nature of this phase, we are asking for your patience with our response time. I understand that this period of change may be challenging and that patience is not easy when expecting to be paid, however, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your understanding and support as we navigate through this transition. At this time, please hold on breaking ground on any newly awarded construction projects and planned pre-construction walks. If currently working on an active Supercharging construction site, please continue. Contact [email redacted] for further questions, comments, and concerns. Additionally, hold on working on any new material orders. Contact [email redacted] for further questions, comments, and concerns. If waiting on delayed payment, please contact [email redacted] for a status update. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

    This sounds like they’re leaving (dozens? hundreds?) of contractors holding the bag with no notice. In what world would any contractor currently working on a Supercharger project finish that project after receiving a letter like this

      Yeah, I wonder if the contracts with the rest of the industry had anything in place for something like this? It’s… really weird.

  For a dozen lesser reasons, there’s no amount of money that would persuade me to own a Tesla. This only convinces me that almost any other EV would be preferable.
