Planning Spatial Supercharging capabilities globally, benefiting participants with new energy vehicle (electric vehicles -EVs) infrastructure. Augmenting Tesla Supercharging network worldwide.
New innovative approach to charging electric vehicles (EVs), utilizing advanced energy storage capabilities and other new technologies.
Current rechargeable of electric vehicles is obsolete. And completely lacks innovation. Charging a electric vehicle from electric grid, likely not clean energy, is not beneficial environmentally. No reason for owning and operating a clean energy vehicle with charging with possibly dirty polluting energy.
Recently, Elon Musk fired his Supercharging staff, reportedly:
A week ago, Musk suddenly decided to fire nearly all the 500 employees on Telsa’s Supercharger team .
Tesla’s Supercharger network, a collection of fast-charging plug-in stations spread over more than 50,000 sites globally, was seen by investors as a vital cornerstone in the company’s ambitions to lead the EV market.
Rivals like Ford and GM have been scrambling to gain access to it. The spread of chargers was also seen as a key strategy to offset concerns potential EV buyers might have around range anxiety too.
So as news broke that Musk was axing the Supercharger team, it’s safe to say Tesla investors were left more than a little puzzled. As Tesla investor Ross Gerber put it: “Any retreat from this part of the business will have a negative impact on the EV industry.”
The thing is, with Tesla still without a functioning Supercharger team, the logistics of implementing Musk’s plans remain a bit of a mystery.
Musk, who has driven a big shake-up at Tesla recently following the decision to cut more than 10% of the company’s workforce in March, seems to be focusing on robotaxis as he looks to boost Tesla’s AI and autonomous driving capabilities.
Two days before firing the Supercharger team, the billionaire wrote on X : “Tesla will spend around $10B this year in combined training and inference AI, the latter being primarily in car. Any company not spending at this level, and doing so efficiently, cannot compete.”
Musk fired the Supercharger team after the head of the team Rebecca Tinucci, pushed back against the level of layoffs that the CEO requested.
At a time when companies are plowing billions of dollars into AI, there seems to be some logic here. But Musk also has a stated goal of selling 20 million Teslas a year by 2030.
We were thinking, we’ll really have a flood of more servicing to do,” said John, one of several verified, now-former Tesla employees who spoke to InsideEVs about their experiences this week. “Then all of a sudden, this happens.”
“This” would be the multiple rounds of layoffs that cost John and an estimated 20,000 other Tesla employees their jobs over the past month. This week alone, those layoffs included most, if not all, of the team developing and servicing Tesla’s Supercharger network—its vast and well-regarded system of fast public EV chargers. The move comes when Tesla seems to be pivoting away from new cars and their support ecosystem to focus on AI and robotaxis instead.
Internal combustion engine (ICE) operating on petroleum products, refueling requires liquid petroleum products. Traditional gas station, design and operations haven’t changed very much in decades. Gas stations went from full-service to self-service, reducing operating expenses while simultaneously, causing discomfort to motor vehicle operators.
Physical development and design of gas stations, unfortunately flowed to electric charging stations. Perhaps, the same gasoline station designers used? Expensive real estate locations with inefficient overhead canopies are impractical and not beneficial. Location likely determined with access to utilities. Significant electric power requirements for supercharger station present challenges geographically.
Building permits and other regulatiotory challenges create other significant difficulties.
Innovative development and design approach for new energy charging is necessary and benefitcial.
First step, is not use or think about anything related to traditional gas stations. New energy vehicles are new. Therefore, new methods, techniques and solutions are preferable.
Tesla has many benefitcial energy products to can be useful for electric vehicle charging.
Alternative vehicle infrastructure requirements are completely different from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles infrastructure.
The best infrastructure is no infrastructure. No reason or benefits from having fixed expenses charging stations.
Alternative approach is no stationary charging stations.
Electric vehicle charging innovativeness includes utilization and vertical integration of most Tesla’s products.
Charging mobility on-demand and on-wheels. Energy sources, including solar farms, transportable energy storage. Clean energy bulk energy storage, solar, hydro, geothermal even natural gas is clean energy,. Micro turbines for generating electricity. Coal fired power plants operation have spinning reserve keeping the boilers-warm for on-demand Electric. Clean coal-power plants excellent source of wholesale electricity potentially.
How heavy is a Tesla battery pack?
The exact Tesla battery pack weight varies according to the model. The Tesla Model 3 has the lightest battery pack at around 1,060 pounds (lbs), while the Tesla Model Y has the heaviest batteries at 1,700 lbs.
Most EV batteries weigh roughly 1,000 lbs, and the heavier ones are almost 2,000 lbs.
The Tesla Megapack is a large-scale rechargeable lithium-ion battery stationary energy storage product, intended for use at battery storage power stations, manufactured by Tesla Energy, the energy subsidiary of Tesla, Inc.
Megapack 2 $1.47M 3.854 MWh 1.927 MW 92.0% 23.79 ft × 8.22 ft × 5.37 ft
(7.25 m × 2.506 m × 1.637 m) 67,200 lb
(30,500 kg)
Megapack 2 XL $1.39M 3.916 MWh 979 kW 93.7% 28.87 ft × 9.14 ft × 5.41 ft
(8.8 m × 2.785 m × 1.65 m) 84,000 lb
(38,100 kg)
Megapacks are assembled at the Tesla Megafactory in Lathrop, California.
Considering, mounted a Megapack onto Tesla Semi. Possibly, use the Semi battery pack and/or mounted -megapack for portable energy storage for mobile electric vehicle charging stations (passenger EVs).
Elon Musk has confirmed Tesla Semi’s efficiency at 1.7 kWh per mile, which means it has a roughly 900 kWh battery pack.
Reported, massive black boxes with batteries (there are nine of them, according to technical images), as well as high-voltage orange cables and some other lines for other systems
Perhaps, the Tesla Semi batteries (Packs) can be used for charging passage electric vehicles.the planning is for the Semi transporting separate battery packs for charging passager EVs.
Cybertrucks with Powerwalls in truck-bed possibly for mobile charging of smaller electric vehicles (EVs,).
Tesla Energy also offers the Powerwall, a smaller energy storage device.

Background
Elon Musk really wants you to think Tesla still has a Supercharger plan
Elon Musk isn’t done with Superchargers yet.
Despite firing Tesla’s Supercharger team last week, the CEO committed to the network
“Tesla will spend well over $500m expanding our Supercharger network,” Musk wrote on X.
The e billionaire Tesla chief took to X to clarify that he was, in fact, still very committed to building out Tesla’s Supercharger business.
“Just to reiterate: Tesla will spend well over $500m expanding our Supercharger network to create thousands of NEW chargers this year,” Musk wrote . “That’s just on new sites and expansions, not counting operations costs, which are much higher.
