So far, de Zegher is the only confirmed return.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"background_for_layoffs\">Background for Layoffs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In April 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/news\/tesla-lays-off-over-10-of-its-workforce\">Tesla laid off over 10% of its 144,000 employees<\/a>, equating to around 14,000 jobs. CEO Elon Musk has stated that Tesla needs to trim off people to boost the company\u2019s \u201cnext phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the end of April, reports confirmed that the layoffs included the entire Supercharger team, virtually around 500 people, alongside two key executives: Max de Zegher and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rebecca-tinucci\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rebecca Tinucci<\/a>, Senior Director of the Supercharger business.<\/p>\n<p>The layoffs followed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/news\/tesla-sales-on-lowest-point-in-two-years-investors-sell-shares\">Tesla\u2019s first quarterly decline in four years<\/a>, with the company delivering 386,810 cars in Q1 2024 (-8% compared with Q1 2023). Musk attributed this drop to shipping diversions and arson. Revenues also fell short of Wall Street analyst estimates, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/news\/optimus-robot-and-ev-plans-what-we-know-from-teslas-q1-call\">reaching $21.3 billion (a 55% drop in profits)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of reduced sales, lower profits, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/news\/xiaomis-leap-into-evs-su7-model-aims-to-outshine-tesla\">increased competition from other EV manufacturers<\/a> contributed to a sense of urgency for restructuring and cost-cutting.<\/p>\n<p>The EV industry environment has also been recently impacted by outside variables, such as the Biden administration&#8217;s intentions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/news\/protection-or-problem-how-soaring-u-s-tariffs-impact-chinese-evs\">to increase tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles<\/a> by up to 100%.<\/p>\n<p>This action aims to support American manufacturers and promote domestic renewable energy projects by incentivizing consumers and companies to choose local products by raising the cost of Chinese EVs. Lessening the competition from Chinese EV imports may help Tesla indirectly by promoting a more self-sufficient, sustainable energy sector in the US.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"historical_precedents_of_musks_reversals\">Historical Precedents of Musk\u2019s Reversals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time that Musk-owned companies have been involved in impulsive cost-cutting measures, only to reverse them later. For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Tesla, 2019:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/2\/28\/18245296\/tesla-stores-closing-online-only-car-sales\" target=\"_blank\">Tesla announced plans to close most of its stores<\/a> and shift sales of its vehicles exclusively online. Then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/3\/11\/18259580\/tesla-price-hike-stores-reversal\" target=\"_blank\">it reversed its move<\/a> citing that it will raise the price of Tesla vehicles by 3% worldwide to keep those stores open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Twitter, 2022:<\/strong> When Musk took over Twitter (now X) in 2022, the social media company laid off around 3,700 employees. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-11-07\/musk-s-twitter-enters-week-2-with-reversals-on-check-marks-jobs\" target=\"_blank\">X then reached out again to dozens of employees<\/a>, stating that they were fired in error or that they were essential to Musk&#8217;s changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"the_supercharger_network\">The Supercharger Network<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of Tesla&#8217;s most important assets is its network of Superchargers. The network started in September 2012, shortly after Tesla started making the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/news\/tesla-slashes-car-prices-amid-chaotic-week\">Model S car<\/a>. As of Q4 2023, there were nearly 6,000 stations and over 54,000 connectors worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla&#8217;s approach has been based on expanding the network to make things easier for Tesla owners and set standards for the industry.<\/p>\n<p>In the past year, Tesla has done a lot to make its Supercharger plugs the industry standard by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/NACS\" target=\"_blank\">making deals with big automakers to let their customers use its network<\/a>. This move has strengthened Tesla&#8217;s standing in the market and made its charging infrastructure more useful.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the broader industry was stunned by the layoffs, given the importance of the network.<\/p>\n<p>Musk stated that Tesla still plans to grow its Supercharger network, but it will do so more slowly for new sites, emphasizing maintaining 100% uptime and expanding current sites.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tesla still plans to grow the Supercharger network, just at a slower pace for new locations and more focus on 100% uptime and expansion of existing locations<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1785406795814510785?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">April 30, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He also pledged to spend \u201cwell over $500 million\u201d to expand the Supercharger network this year.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just to reiterate: Tesla will spend well over $500M expanding our Supercharger network to create thousands of NEW chargers this year. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s just on new sites and expansions, not counting operations costs, which are much higher.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1788834859110002716?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">May 10, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla has begun rehiring the nearly 500 members of its Tesla Supercharger team after a significant layoff last month.
