Tesla plans to cut 400 jobs in Grünheide
During a visit to the US car manufacturer Tesla's factory in Grünheide near Berlin, the Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, Michael Kellner (Greens), expressed his regret about the planned job cuts. After Tesla boss Elon Musk announced the plans, Kellner met with the factory's management and works council on Thursday.
He emphasized the importance of skilled workers in the region and regretted the planned job cuts. The company informed the workforce about the planned reduction of 400 jobs, with the aim of avoiding redundancies for operational reasons. Tesla had previously separated from 300 temporary workers.
Michael Kellner praised the efficiency of the electric car factory and described Tesla as an economically strong flagship with 12,500 jobs. He underlined the importance of e-mobility for the climate goals and emphasized the desire for Germany to be a pioneer in modern and clean mobility.
Elon Musk is aiming to cut more than 14,000 jobs at Tesla amid weak global sales and the slowdown in the electric car market. Last quarter, the company posted its first revenue decline in nearly four years, with revenue down 9% year-over-year to $21.3 billion.
