And since the Teslas are self driving, they can just roam the public roads while people work, an endless TS (Tesla Stream) cycling between two superchargers.

You mean they can ride through the office building, pass the managers desk, who can check the work.

Have a Manager Booth halfway between the two charging stations for checkins, in addition to video calls. Biobreaks (exercise, waste removal, nutrition ingestion) can happen during charging if the Teslas remain unmodified.

I just realized that the Tesla could eject the worker a couple miles before the charging station, calculating the workout and charge duration so that the employee would have to run at the correct rate to retrieve their car before it was done charging. The vehicle could self clean while empty on the way to the charging station.

I can't think of any downsides to this.

Exciting times for the future of work!

We wondered how the open office plan could get worse. Now, we wonder no more!

Why isn't the manager station at the charging station?

I fully expected to see this in SF eventually. Wifi equipped buses set up like coffee shops that drive around SF all day. Cheaper than commercial real estate, at the time. I'm sure COVID has changed the calculus considerably.

They do this with billboards. It's somehow cost effective to have a big truck that is nothing but a rolling billboard drive around the city all day. By definition that means that it's cheaper or somehow better than a fixed billboard on real estate.

That actually is a really good idea, they'll figure out problems real quick that way. Very very good idea.

EDIT: If your job in Tesla is on the line proposing working out of a Tesla is your best bet to save it.

I remember when we were going to have FSD in 1 year, 10 years ago.
