JUST IN: Tesla $TSLA announced a 12% layoff of its staff in Austin totaling 2,688 employees

Background

The job cuts affect 2,688 employees at the facility in Travis County. In 2021, Tesla CEO Elon Musk moved the company’s corporate headquarters from Palo Alto, California to Austin.

Musk said in an internal memo last week that Tesla was cutting more than 10% of its global headcount as the electric vehicle maker deals with slowing sales and increased competition. He did not specify which departments or locations would be most impacted.

Austin Factory

Tesla officially opened its Texas EV and battery factory in April 2022 with a cyber rodeo party. The company now manufactures some Model Y crossover SUVs in Austin and has started building its Cybertruck there.

Musk later described the Austin factory as a “gigantic money furnace” in an interview. According to filings, Tesla planned to spend over $770 million last year expanding facilities in Austin.

Details of Layoffs

Tuesday’s WARN filing said none of the employees being laid off are represented by a union or have bumping rights. Executives are expected to discuss the restructuring on the company’s quarterly earnings call.

Conclusion

The layoffs come as Tesla deals with slowing demand, rising costs and increased competition. While the broader restructuring aims to cut costs and boost productivity, it remains to be seen how the job cuts will impact Tesla’s operations in Austin.
