Tesla is laying off more than 10% of its global workforce, Electrek's Jameson Dow reports, citing an internal company-wide email. According to the report, this means that at least 14,000 employees will be laid off, but it is unclear which specific teams will be most or least affected by Tesla's layoffs. The company-wide email, which was leaked to the press, said in part that "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. As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the company for cost reductions and increasing productivity. As part of this effort, we have done a thorough review of the organization and made the difficult decision to reduce our headcount by more than 10% globally. There is nothing I hate more, but it must be done. This will enable us to be lean, innovative and hungry for the next growth phase cycle."
