Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team

Hey there, it's time for an update on Tesla's recent layoffs.

Just after laying off “more than 10%” of its global workforce,

Tesla is laying off even more employees – including senior executives and long-time veterans of the company,

most notably the entire Supercharging team and the executive responsible for negotiating NACS adoption across the industry.

One of those heads was Drew Baglino, former VP of Powertrain and Energy Engineering,

who had been with the company for 18 years and led the 4680 cell project.

Firstly – it makes absolutely no sense to lay off the Supercharger team.

Supercharging is an incredible opportunity for Tesla, especially now that everyone else has adopted NACS.

On layoffs in general, we noted in our coverage of Tesla’s layoffs

that the worst part about situations like this is that they greatly affect morale.

We imagine morale can’t be great within Tesla right now after huge layoffs,

but there can at least be a sense of relief that they’re over after a large round of layoffs closes.
