Tesla executives Drew Baglino and Rohan Patel are leaving the electric vehicle maker amid steep layoffs, they announced on Monday.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk thanked both departing execs on X, formerly Twitter, the social network he owns and runs as CTO.

Baglino had worked with Tesla since its early years, starting as a firmware and electrical engineer in 2006. He most recently reported directly to Musk as the company's senior vice president for powertrain and energy engineering. Patel and Baglino had been deeply involved in battery and vehicle manufacturing, related policy, and turning Tesla into a multi-national EV manufacturer. They were less involved in autonomous vehicle technology at Tesla.
