Recently, Tesla's "global layoffs" have caused widespread heated discussions. In April this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk issued an all-staff letter saying that Tesla will lay off 10% of its workforce worldwide, involving about 14,000 people, according to Tesla's latest internal documents, the company's current number of employees is about 121,000, which is more than 14% less than the company's more than 140,000 employees at the end of last year. Tesla's global layoffs have also affected the Chinese market. A Tesla salesperson said that most of the layoffs were new employees with less than six months of work. "This group of people will be compensated according to '0.5N+3', because Tesla's basic salary is higher, so the compensation is about 4 to 50,000 yuan."
But in recent days, Tesla seems to have "changed its mind" and has been revealed to be rehiring some of its laid off employees. According to a number of media reports, Tesla China has launched the process of recalling previously laid off employees in the last two days, and the recall scale is expected to exceed 100 people. At present, the employees who are scheduled to be recalled originally belong to the charging, sales, after-sales and delivery departments, and if they agree to be recalled, the returning employees need to refund the "3" of the "N+3" redundancy compensation part, and the seniority will be recalculated.
Based on the above situation, Tesla China staff responded: "I don't know the specific situation. ”
A person close to Tesla confirmed that Tesla China rehired the laid-off employees, mainly due to the lack of staff in the store. However, the number of rehires is limited, and most of them are concentrated in the sales and service fields, and there is no further information on the compensation information for the rehired and laid off employees. According to Tesla's recruitment WeChat public account, Tesla is currently urgently hiring sales consultants, maintenance technicians and other positions in Shanghai, Nanjing, Jinan and other places.
Looking back at Tesla's corporate development from "Tesla will rehire some laid off employees":
——Continuously improving services will help Tesla seize the market
As a leader in the global new energy vehicle industry, Tesla continues to research and develop the energy consumption and batteries of new energy vehicles produced by Tesla, and actively solves the pain points of the development of modern new energy vehicles. At the same time, Tesla is also actively improving the after-sales system to ensure consumers' experience after shopping and ensure the long-term development of Tesla's new energy vehicles.
-- China's local production reduces costs
At present, Tesla continues to expand the production capacity of Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory. It is reported that the construction of a factory in Shanghai can help Tesla avoid tariffs of up to 40%. Tesla's Model 3 currently has an annual production capacity of 250,000 units, which is why the Model 3 is less expensive. The Model Y has just been put into production in 2021, and in the future, as the production capacity of the Model Y in Shanghai continues to increase, the price of the Model Y in the Chinese market may be further reduced due to the removal of most import taxes, attracting more consumers to buy it.
——The development history of Tesla's humanoid robot
Tesla, the fastest-growing company in the global humanoid robot industry, initially released the concept machine of the humanoid robot on AI DAY in 2021, and achieved rapid iteration in less than two years, completing the construction of the development platform, the debut of the Optimus product, and the realization of capabilities such as motor torque control, environmental detection and memory, and complex tasks for both hands.
Analysis of Tesla's FSD visual perception scheme for humanoid robots
Tesla's FSD pure vision deep learning neural network is gradually maturing and can be grafted onto humanoid robots. Similar to autonomous driving, humanoid robots also use sensors (cameras, lidars, etc.) to sense, collect, and process information about their surroundings in order to make decisions. Tesla's humanoid robot uses only 3 cameras (a fisheye camera in the middle, a vision camera on the left and right), which is directly grafted with FSD's mature pure vision solution, supplemented by sensors such as force, torque, acoustics, tactile temperature, etc.
According to the latest annual Global Electric Vehicle Outlook released by the International Energy Agency (IEA), more than one-fifth of the cars sold worldwide this year are expected to be electric vehicles, and global electric vehicle sales will maintain strong growth in 2024 to reach around 17 million by the end of this year, and the surge in demand for electric vehicles in the next 10 years will reshape the global automotive industry and significantly reduce oil consumption for road transportation.
