Elon Musk Fired Supercharger Chief Rebecca Tinucci And Her Entire Team After She Refused To Lay Off More Workers Than Planned: Report
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) Elon Musk reportedly dismissed almost the entire Supercharger division of Tesla, including its head Rebecca Tinucci, after Tinucci refused to lay off workers beyond the planned numbers.
据报道，特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）埃隆·马斯克解散了特斯拉几乎整个增压器部门，包括其负责人丽贝卡·蒂努奇，此前蒂努奇拒绝在计划人数之外裁员。
What Happened: Tinucci reportedly had a meeting with Musk to discuss the future of the charging network. This meeting was subsequent to a previous round of layoffs, where Tinucci had reduced the staff by 15% to 20%. However, Musk was not satisfied with the presentation and demanded additional layoffs. When Tinucci opposed it, arguing that it would negatively impact the business fundamentals, Musk reacted by terminating her and the entire 500-member team, a Reuters report revealed on Wednesday.
发生了什么：据报道，蒂努奇与马斯克会面，讨论充电网络的未来。这次会议是在前一轮裁员之后举行的，蒂努奇裁员了15％至20％。但是，马斯克对演讲不满意，并要求进一步裁员。路透社周三的一份报告显示，当蒂努奇反对时，认为这将对业务基本面产生负面影响，马斯克的反应是解雇了她和整个由500名成员组成的团队。
At the time of publishing, Tesla had yet to respond to the queries sent by Benzinga.
在发布之时，特斯拉尚未回应本辛加发出的询问。
This abrupt exit has caused disruption in a network that was considered a significant Tesla achievement and a key driver of its EV sales. Tesla Superchargers account for more than 60% of U.S. high-speed charging ports, and the company has been the largest beneficiary of $5 billion in federal funding for new chargers.
这次突然退出导致网络中断，该网络被认为是特斯拉的一项重大成就，也是其电动汽车销售的关键驱动力。特斯拉增压器占美国高速充电端口的60％以上，该公司一直是联邦政府为新充电器提供的50亿美元资金的最大受益者。
According to two former employees, the energy team assigned to take over the management of the charging network was already overwhelmed with its workload.
据两名前雇员称，被指派接管充电网络管理的能源团队的工作量已经不堪重负。
Why It Matters: Despite the layoffs, Musk announced that Tesla still plans to expand the Supercharger network, albeit at a slower pace. He also stated that Tesla would spend over $500 million to create thousands of new chargers this year. However, former Supercharger staff claimed that this budget is a significant reduction from the team's original plans for 2024.
为何重要：尽管裁员，但马斯克宣布，特斯拉仍计划扩大增压器网络，尽管步伐有所放缓。他还表示，特斯拉今年将花费超过5亿美元制造数千个新充电器。但是，前增压器工作人员声称，该预算比该团队最初的2024年计划大幅减少。
Tesla had started rehiring some of the laid-off Supercharger team members, including Max de Zegher, the director of charging for North America.
特斯拉已经开始重新雇用一些被解雇的增压器团队成员，包括北美充电总监马克斯·德泽格。
Meanwhile, Danny Moses, a prominent investor and long-time Tesla critic, predicted a significant drop in Tesla's stock price based on the company's recent developments and future prospects.
同时，著名投资者、长期批评特斯拉的丹尼·摩西根据特斯拉的近期发展和未来前景预测，特斯拉的股价将大幅下跌。
Price Action: As of Wednesday, Tesla's stock was trading 0.47% lower at $176.71 at the time of writing this article, according to Benzinga Pro. The company's first quarter of 2024 earnings showed a revenue of $21.3 billion, missing estimates by $1.039 billion.
价格走势：根据Benzinga Pro的数据，截至周三，特斯拉的股票在撰写本文时下跌0.47％，至176.71美元。该公司2024年第一季度的收益显示收入为213亿美元，比预期低10.39亿美元。
