) fell more than 5% after two of the electric vehicle giant’s top executives left the company following reports of its latest round of layoffs.
"Baglino is an absolute gut punch loss in our view as he was instrumental in the Powertrain and Energy initiatives at Tesla and was viewed by many as key to the Model 2 initiative over the next few years," Wedbush analysts said in a Monday note. The move follows several months of speculation and preparatory actions by the company including instructions to managers to pinpoint essential personnel and the suspension of certain stock rewards and employee reviews.“Over the years, we have grown rapidly with multiple factories scaling around the globe. With this rapid growth there has been duplication of roles and job functions in certain areas,” the leaked email states, Electreck reported earlier in the day.
Although the exact layoff percentage remains unknown, over 10% means that a minimum of 14,000 employees will depart the EV giant, said Electreck, citing the company’s total headcount of roughly 140,000.
