A spokeswoman for the company confirmed that 300 temporary workers were let go, emphasizing that regular Tesla employees were not affected. The Business Insider had previously reported that fixed-term contracts would not be renewed, but the spokeswoman stated that efforts were made to find new placements for those workers. In March, Tesla had hired hundreds of temporary workers for the Grünheide factory near Berlin.
On Monday, Tesla announced a global workforce reduction of more than 10 percent, impacting an unspecified number of employees. CEO Elon Musk explained that this decision was part of the company’s strategy to optimize costs and increase productivity. The German factory currently employs over 12,000 workers.
This is not the first time Tesla has implemented layoffs, as similar measures were taken in 2022. The company’s focus on cost-cutting and efficiency has led to workforce reductions in the past. Despite challenges, Tesla has continued to deliver vehicles and maintain strong sales figures.
Looking ahead, Tesla anticipates slower growth in the coming year, reflecting changing market conditions and economic factors. The company remains committed to innovation and sustainability, even as it navigates a shifting landscape.
