Tesla’s Global Layoffs Do Not Affect Giga Mexico Construction, Secretary of Economy Says
Recently, Tesla announced global staff reductions, but this will not affect the construction of Giga Mexico. According to Iván Rivas Rodríguez, the State Secretary of Economy of Nuevo León, the collaboration with Tesla has not changed despite the layoffs. He stated that there is no perceived risk and everything is proceeding as planned in coordination with the company.
Tesla employees received notification via email that they were being laid off due to cost reductions and increased productivity as the company prepares for its next phase of growth. However, workers at Tesla Giga Berlin in Europe have not received any news of impending layoffs. Reports of potential job cuts in Berlin have been refuted by Tesla, emphasizing the need to go through appropriate channels to lay off workers in Germany.
Secretary of Economy Rodríguez reassured that the construction of the plant is ongoing and that Tesla’s investment in Santa Catarina remains on track. Despite recent global staff reductions at Tesla, he stated that everything is proceeding as planned and there is no change in collaboration with Tesla.
