Tesla is walking back some of the layoffs to its Supercharger team, having rehired Max de Zegher, the former Director of North American Charging who was let go in April. The Supercharger network is crucial to Tesla's success, and the EV giant expanded its network to other automakers this year, starting with Ford in March. The pause in Supercharger buildouts came at a poor time as more companies planned to use the infrastructure. Musk said Supercharger expansion would continue slower, focusing on uptime and existing locations.
