Tesla workforce to be cut: confirms from the top management
Musk told employees with an internal message that the workforce reduction is inevitable and foresees quite difficult times for the company and the whole economy. Apparently, war prices over electric vehicles and the difficult challenge posed by Chinese manufacturers is affecting the global brand.
Finally, according to Electrek, 10% of the global Tesla workforce may lead to about 14,000 people, even though the figures are only indicative. In the last quarterly report, Tesla missed delivery estimates, experiencing reduction in sales on a yearly basis. In the meantime, there are no further news about the Semi electric truck, currently been tested by some key customers in the U.S.
