He started to get more time to negotiate for “a significant change on the design from the front” and also wanted the privilege to “emphasize on other aspects”.
Tesla’s slowness in the race of robotaxi
A design time
The robotaxis plan by Tesla was at first expected to be rolled out in August, although it has been bumped to October. This was said and brought to limelight by its CEO, Elon Musk through a post on X which is the former twitter he owns. His reply to a user is in sync with Bloomberg’s report issued on July 11, which made a proposition that this delay would be required in order to build more prototypes.
A design change would be initiated by Musk himself, another distinctive concept implying that some work of readjustment would have been expected of the design team.
This certainly means the probability of experiencing a significant reduction in staff.
This shifting of this crucial event for the company’s future is also accompanied by the shedding of employees in the company. Yes, the number of employees sacked has surpassed 10% of the entire staff list. Two other positions of other senior executives have also been axed, the rationale which justifying Musk has been brutal measures that the company needs to ‘be absolutely intransigent on staff and cost reductions,’ meaning that some managers never fully understood this reality.
A slowdown in production
These internal disturbances appear to have affected the firm’s output in some way or the other. For the first half of 2024, the company was able to produce and deliver 7 percent fewer vehicles than in the same period previous year. In the second quarter, production even declined by almost 15 percent compared to the second quarter in 2023.
These statistics show an alarming decline for the company as Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief has claimed. The question is now set whether this venture will be able to jump over these hurdles quickly enough and whether the Robotaxis will perform the predictions stated above.
