Tesla is cutting more than 10 per cent of its workforce — at least 14,000 jobs — as the worldwide EV slowdown and brutal price war hits the American automaker.
“We have . . . made the difficult decision to reduce our headcount by more than 10 per cent globally . . . this will enable us to be lean, innovative and hungry for the next growth phase cycle,” wrote Tesla’s chief executive Elon Musk in an internal memo to employees seen by the Financial Times.
The job cuts come as the slowdown in sales of EVs makes waves across the global car industry, with companies across the supply chain from South Korea to Germany slashing jobs and costs.
