Tesla lays off charging, new car and public policy teams in latest round of cuts

Tesla has recently laid off hundreds of employees, including two executives, from its supercharging, new car, and public policy teams. The cuts affect nearly 500 workers, with a few reassigned to other roles. This decision is part of a broader strategy to reduce headcount and costs, as stated by CEO Elon Musk. The layoffs have raised concerns about the future of Tesla's charging network, which is considered crucial to the company's success.

The company's focus will shift to expanding the charging network more slowly and enhancing existing locations. These layoffs are part of a series of reductions, with previous notices indicating significant cuts in Tesla's workforce across various locations. Despite these changes, Tesla aims to maintain its operational and strategic commitments.
