Tesla revealed in a letter to the state government that it is increasing the number of employees it plans to let go in California as part of a global campaign to reduce employment.
In a letter to the state government, Tesla (TSLA.O.) announced that it is expanding its intentions to lay off 601 more workers in California as part of a global job-cutting initiative that started a month ago due to declining sales and escalating pricing rivalry.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, announced on April 15 that the business would fire over 10% of its workers worldwide, which amounted to over 140,000 people by the end of 2023. Since then, the manufacturer of electric vehicles has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs, as reported by sources familiar with the situation, because Musk wished to reduce the company’s workforce by 20%.
According to Tesla’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN), the most recent layoff plan will impact personnel at its plants in Palo Alto and Fremont, California. It will commence within the 14-day period beginning on June 20, 2024.
As part of staff reductions, the electric vehicle manufacturer announced last month that it would lay off 6,020 employees in Texas and California.
285 workers at its Buffalo, New York, facility, which contains the labeling team for its Autopilot driver assistance software and manufactures fast-charging equipment, were also laid off as part of the global employment reductions.
On April 30, Musk dissolved the Tesla Supercharger group.
