News sources reported today that Tesla fired hundreds of workers on Friday. The dismissals come as the company is falling behind on production targets for the Tesla Model 3, its all-important mass-market affordable long-range small electric car.
Tesla did not disclose how many employees were fired. Estimates range between about 400 and 1,200 employees. A Tesla spokesman said the dismissals were mostly in administrative and sales positions—rather than for engineering and manufacturing positions that could affect production output and vehicle quality. Also, the company said the employees were let go due to low performance in the aftermath of an annual employee review.
The San Jose Mercury News, which broke the story, said that Juan Maldonado, a production worker who was fired, indicated that about 60 other factory workers in his section were dismissed.
