Musk releases an all-employee email: announcing Tesla will lay off 10% of its global workforce

On April 15, Musk just sent an email to all employees. According to ifeng.com Technology, it was learned that Tesla would lay off 10% of its employees globally.

In February of this year, Tesla postponed the performance appraisal of some employees, and then rumors about Tesla layoffs began to appear. Previously, Tesla had to lay off employees due to inefficiencies caused by aggressive staff expansion.

In recent years, its hiring pace has slowed down. In 2022, Tesla will have 29,000 new employees, while in 2023 this number has dropped to 12,000.

A few days ago, Tesla delivered another delivery report that was far less than Wall Street expected. On the evening of April 2, Tesla released delivery data for the first quarter of 2024, which showed that Tesla’s global delivery volume was 386,800 vehicles, significantly lower than the previous agency forecast of about 430,000 vehicles, and a year-on-year decrease of 8.3%. The month-on-month decline was as high as 20.1%. At the same time, this is also the first time since 2020 that Tesla's delivery volume has declined year-on-year quarterly.

Previously, some media quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that some employees said that the number of layoffs may be as high as 20%. A Tesla spokesperson did not respond to the media for this news.

It is reported that Tesla will cut about 10% of its jobs in 2022. Tesla CEO Elon Musk issued an email to company executives suspending all global hiring.

Musk said in the email that based on the pessimistic economic outlook, Tesla needs to cut about 10% of its jobs and will increase the number of hourly workers. Musk further revealed in a subsequent email that the layoffs would not apply to any employees who actually produce cars, battery packs or install solar products.
