Almost 2,700 Austin-based Tesla employees will be laid off as part of the automaker s move to cut 10% of its global workforce, an April 22 Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, or WARN, notice, revealed.
Tesla Lay Off: Tesla said earlier this month it will lay off 6,020 employees in Texas and California. The company s global headcount was over 140,000 in late 2023, according to a filing with U.S. regulators.
Elon Musk-owned Tesla, which recently announced layoffs of some 14,000 workers, has also undertaken a recall of its Cybertruck due to an acceleration problem. The company s Q1 profits fall 55%, but shares rose on news Tesla s new models will include affordable ones.
