On April 17th, according to Pulsestacks, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, posted on the social media platform X, stating that Tesla is streamlining its sales and delivery system. Musk mentioned that the system had become "complex and inefficient."
Pulsestacks previously reported that Elon Musk announced that Tesla would lay off over 10% of its global workforce. Based on Tesla's global employee count, this round of layoffs will affect over 14,000 employees.
According to sources familiar with the matter in Tesla China, the proportion of layoffs in Tesla China far exceeds the 10% announced by Musk, especially hitting hard on the sales department. The percentage of layoffs varies across departments, with some departments optimizing by 30% to 40%, and a few reaching as high as 50%. In addition, automotive blogger @孙少军 09 revealed that Tesla has communicated the layoff list with its stores, and almost every store has employees being laid off. The compensation standard is N+3, with departure procedures being resolved on the same day.
