Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles

Is that because the automotive industry decided to go with the North American standard for rapid chargers instead of Tesla’s? If so, while heartless, it makes sense from a business standpoint.

The NACS connector is the Tesla connector. Tesla won this format war. So what’s for them to be salty about?
The only wrinkle is that older Teslas require a reflash to work with the new (or rather old, same as CCS) communication standard that would be used by NACS equipped non-Tesla charging stations.

Ah ok. I thought they were different. I actually just listened to a podcast the other day about electric vehicles, and the guest expert mentioned wanting about them being a NA standard, European standard, and Tesla. Maybe I just misunderstood him.

There were CCS the North American kind, CCS the European kind and Tesla. Everybody in the US has pledged to switch over to Tesla in the last year though.
