As the company continues to lay off workers, here are 600 jobs in California that were lost.

As part of its restructuring, Tesla informed the California Employment Development Department of 600 job cuts at its Fremont and Palo Alto manufacturing sites and engineering offices.

The recent layoffs affected industrial workers, software developers, and robotics engineers from entry-level to director positions in several sectors.

CNBC acquired the layoffs from a WARN Act petition through a public information request.

Due to declining demand for Tesla electric vehicles and rising competition, the business has been cutting staff since January. In April, CEO Elon Musk wrote to staff that the business would slash more than 10% of its worldwide workforce, which was 140,473 by the end of 2023.

Tesla had filed to reduce over 6,300 positions in California, Austin, Texas, and Buffalo.

Musk noted on Tesla’s quarterly earnings call on April 23 that the firm has built up 25% to 30% “inefficiency” over the last few years, hinting that the layoffs might affect tens of thousands more people than 10%.

The WARN application listed 378 job layoffs in Fremont, home to Tesla’s first U.S. manufacturing factory, including personnel and car assembly. At the Kato Rd. battery development center, 65 cutbacks were made.

Tesla declined to comment.

Two environmental health and safety directors and a user experience design director were fired in Fremont.

In Palo Alto, the company’s engineering office, 233 additional workers, including two technical program managers, were laid go.

Two former workers with knowledge of the situation said Tesla fired most of its app designers and developers. Many employees at Tesla’s Hanover Street headquarters in Palo Alto were laid off, according to WARN.

Tesla’s Fremont-made Model S, X, and Model 3 sedans are in lower demand. Total deliveries fell in the first quarter, and Tesla recorded its worst revenue fall since 2012.

Tesla sales were pressured in the second quarter by fierce competition, notably in China. Xiaomi and Nio have released EVs that undercut Tesla’s best-selling models.

Tesla stock has fallen 30% this year, while the S&P 500 has gained 11%.

Musk has been attempting to convince investors to embrace Tesla’s ability to produce self-driving software, a robotaxi, and a “sentient” humanoid robot instead of car sales. Musk and Tesla have promised consumers self-driving software to convert their EVs into robotaxis, but their systems still need human supervision.

Another Tesla layoff was the team creating the U.S. Supercharger network.

Tesla stated in its 2023 annual filing that it will expand and enhance its charging infrastructure “to ensure cost-effectiveness and customer satisfaction.” The statement stated that Tesla needs to extend its “network to ensure adequate availability to meet customer demands,” after other automakers revealed plans to adopt the North American Charging Standard.

Tesla has started rehiring some Supercharger team members after firing most of them, a move similar to Musk’s Twitter employment cutbacks after he purchased the firm and renamed it X. Musk told CNBC’s David Faber last year that he wants to rehire some fired employees.
