Elon Musk Cuts Tesla Executives and Entire Supercharger Team in New Round of Layoffs 🚘🔌⬇️

Tes­la CEO Elon Musk has report­ed­ly dis­missed two senior exec­u­tives and plans to lay off hun­dreds more employ­ees, includ­ing the entire Super­charg­er team, accord­ing to leaked emails obtained by The Information. 

This marks the lat­est in a series of work­force reduc­tions at the elec­tric vehi­cle company.

The exec­u­tives leav­ing the com­pa­ny are Rebec­ca Tin­uc­ci, senior direc­tor of Tes­la’s Super­charg­er busi­ness, and Daniel Ho, direc­tor of vehi­cle pro­grams and new prod­uct initiatives. 

Tin­uc­ci had been instru­men­tal in expand­ing Tes­la’s Super­charg­er net­work dur­ing her six-year tenure, includ­ing advo­cat­ing for the adop­tion of the North Amer­i­can Charg­ing Stan­dard (NACS) by oth­er companies.

Despite the cuts to the Super­charg­er team, Musk empha­sized in his email that Tes­la remains com­mit­ted to build­ing new Super­charg­ers and com­plet­ing those already under construction.

This move comes as the com­pa­ny faces increas­ing com­pe­ti­tion in the elec­tric vehi­cle mar­ket and mount­ing pres­sure to achieve profitability.
