These supercharger stations were the only thing allowing people to make any sort of reasonably long distance trip with these horrendously gay electric vehicles. It was also one of the last competitive advantages for Tesla even though Musk accepted government money which allowed competitors to also use their network of charging stations.
Eliminating the entire team responsible for building stations raises all sorts of questions about the future of this infrastructure and the EV industry as a whole.

The future sure looks grim for Tesla and the entire EV industry which was always a big fraud that manifested itself from climate change kookery.
