It seems like Tesla jumped the gun when saying that Nissan drivers now have entry to the Supercharger community in North America.
They must wait a bit.
Yesterday, we reported that Tesla added Nissan to the record of automakers with EVs able to utilizing the Supercharger community in North America.
Nonetheless, Tesla has since eliminated Nissan from its record of automakers with entry and switched the Japanese automaker again to the “coming quickly” record.
Nissan confirmed to Electrek that entry shouldn’t be at present obtainable, however will probably be obtainable by the top of the 12 months.
It seems like a miscommunication on Tesla’s facet. We hear that it must be coming quickly.
Elon Musk fired Tesla’s whole charging group – seemingly to make an instance of its then-head of charging, Rebecca Tinucci, who reportedly disagreed with Musk about making additional layoffs following one other layoff wave.
As an alternative of simply firing her, Musk determined to fireside the whole group after which despatched an electronic mail to different Tesla managers utilizing the charging group state of affairs as a warning.
Tesla has since needed to rehire a number of former members of its charging group to rebuild the division.
That is believed to have slowed down the opening of the Supercharger community to different automakers in North America. We have been informed that communications with Tesla’s charging group have been tough to non-existent for these automakers for weeks earlier this 12 months.
As now we have beforehand reported, the state of affairs has positively slowed down Tesla’s personal deployment of Supercharger stations.
Nonetheless, the Supercharger community lately hit the milestone of 60,000 chargers worldwide.
