The lay-off is small in context. It’s less than a quarter of their prior year headcount growth, and much lower than what Detroit Auto has experienced. Auto companies routinely let broad swaths of employees go. Big doesn’t mean safe.

It still is terrible for people who have everything to Tesla over then past few years. At least they are leaving for a hot job market.




>Auto companies routinely let broad swaths of employees go

Lots of autonomous startups, and auto divisions in larger tech companies. Most mainstream auto companies have a presence here.
