Barely two weeks have passed since Tesla initiated layoffs for at least 14,000 staff, and the company is now reportedly laying off hundreds more — including senior executives and the majority of its Supercharging team. But that may not be the end of it.
In an email sent to executives last night, Elon Musk said he wanted Tesla to be “absolutely hard core” about the cuts, stating even staff working underneath executives who “don’t obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test” would also be out of a job. Here’s more from @theverge.
Finally decided to go fully electric with my car and bought a used Nissan leaf. Plus side: qualifies for the ev tax. Downside: purchasing a car online in MA is complicated 🥲 #electricvehicles#nogasforme#NoMoreExplodingDownTheRoad
