Tesla Escalates Cost-Cutting with Massive Layoffs Amid Financial Struggles

Key Points:

• Entire Supercharging team and executive in charge of NACS adoption laid off.
• Some Supercharging team members reassigned; public policy team disbanded.
• Follows earlier layoffs of 2,700 employees amid financial strains.

Tesla is intensifying its cost-cutting measures by laying off its entire Supercharging team, about 500 employees, and the executive overseeing the adoption of the North American Charging Standard (NACS). Electrek reports that while most of the Supercharging team will be affected, some members will be moved to different roles within the company.

Additionally, Tesla has eliminated its public policy team amid these layoffs. This marks Tesla’s second significant workforce reduction this year, following a cut of approximately 2,700 Bay Area workers, or 10% of its global staff.

The company has been grappling with financial hurdles, highlighted by a decline in sales and disappointing first-quarter financial results.
