    Is the supercharger network worth more than the vehicle building business? Akin to owning “the gas stations of the future”?

      Probably. Elon fired and unfired the team for that. It’s probably the best long term plan for the company. Especially since the rest of the industry is standardizing on their connector. Problem is, it’s uninteresting, and Elon only likes showy displays.

      Long term, businesses tend to be built on boring things. That doesn’t work when your CEO likes to swing around a blinged out chainsaw on stage.
