Tesla has begun to re-hire fired supercharging team members. Max de Zegher, the director of the North American charging business, was the first group of employees to be rehired. The exact number of employees to be rehired is currently unknown.

Rehired immediately after a major layoff? Musk's “repeated actions” shocked netizens.

On May 14, according to media reports, Musk suddenly fired nearly 500 supercharging station team employees at the end of last month. However, soon after, Tesla began re-hiring these employees. Executives, including Max de Zegher, the director of the North American charging business, were among the first to be rehired. The exact number of reinstatements is currently unknown. Regarding this situation, neither Musk nor Max de Zegher responded to questions from netizens.

In response, a netizen on social media platform X said:

“It would be foolish to fire the supercharging team. The number one reason people don't buy electric cars is to worry about a shortage of charging stations. Sales in the US will decline.”

“It's more likely to bring back the best talent and keep the team improving.”

“Nicely done.”

The supercharging team is mainly responsible for managing and maintaining Tesla's charging stations. Previously, Musk surprised many people because Tesla's supercharging stations were the company's “gold signature”. In 2012, Tesla launched the first batch of supercharging stations. Currently, Tesla has more than 6,200 charging stations and more than 57,000 charging heads around the world. According to the data, last year, 8% of global public charging demand was provided by Tesla.

Last year, Tesla also made efforts to promote its charging plug as an industry standard, and signed agreements with many major car manufacturers to allow more electric vehicles to use Tesla's charging network. Despite this, the decision was initially criticized, leading Musk to later promise to invest more than $500 million this year to expand the charging network and improve the service quality and operating time of existing charging stations.

Furthermore, this is not the first time Musk has withdrawn his decision. In 2019, he announced that he would close most Tesla physical stores and switch to online sales, but since landlords refused to cancel leases, Tesla had to cancel this plan and raise vehicle prices. At the end of 2022, Musk had similar behavior on Twitter. He first laid off about half of his employees, then soon brought some people back to work.
