> Also consider that Tesla's chargers have thus far failed to achieve 800V charging, which is a death knell for any future facing network.

You're conflating ops with engineering issues.

I'm not. I'm merely adding evidence that maintenance-only is not a coherent business decision for the supercharger network.

If the Electrical Engineers were included in this layoff I would be surprised. But as you say, they failed to meet the 800v goal, so they probably deserve it too.
