Late last month Ukraine asked Elon Musk if he could provide Starlink satellite internet access to the embattled nation and, like a boss, he just went ahead and did it:
This week, meanwhile, he's deploying the considerable resources of Tesla to further help the still-at-war-with-Russia country:
Tesla has started to offer free Supercharging in several countries around Ukraine for people fleeing the country following the Russian invasion...
In an email to local owners, Tesla has announced that it is making several Supercharger stations near the Ukrainian borders with those countries free to use for both Tesla and non-Tesla electric vehicles...
The only thing left is actually equipping the Ukrainians with his flamethrowers and bulletproof trucks.
Locations in Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia are all seeing free charging rates for refugees (Tesla does not operate officially in Ukraine yet).
The company, meanwhile, tells consumers:
We hope that this helps give you the peace of mind to get to a safe location... Safe travels.
Not trying to be a wimp here but in the face of such a major catastrophe, even multinational corporations can do deeply moving things.
Safe travels indeed, to everyone over there.
