Tesla Plans Job Cuts at German Gigafactory Amidst Slowing EV Sales

Tesla announced plans to cut 400 jobs at its German gigafactory near Berlin. The company cited a weakened electric car sales market and intends to implement the cuts through a voluntary program. Tesla’s Gruenheide site currently employs over 12,000 staff, and the carmaker had previously parted ways with around 300 temporary workers as part of plans for global cuts of around 10%. The move comes ahead of Tesla’s first-quarter results announcement later on Tuesday, with investors anticipating the group’s lowest gross profit margin in more than six years due to declining demand for electric vehicles.
