On Wednesday, the electric-vehicle maker cut more than 3,400 job postings in North America to just three. The now axed roles, which were mostly in California, Texas, and Nevada, were listed on Tesla’s official careers page as recently as Tuesday, Quartz reported.
The apparent hiring freeze has come after one of Tesla’s hardest quarters. The company went through a wave of layoffs, which CEO Elon Musk described as “hard core,” and saw at least six executives leave. In a series of back-to-back blows, the company’s first-quarter earnings missed estimates by nearly every measure, it recalled nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks, and it entered a price war with Chinese EV rivals teaming up against the company.
Even the three US roles that remain don’t appear to be full-time jobs, although they’re labeled as such. They’re for Tesla’s “manufacturing development program,” a seven- to 16-week training program at community colleges in Texas and California that gives applicants an “opportunity to transition into a full-time Production Associate.” The Nevada version of the program is marked as an internship and is only four to six weeks, according to Tesla’s website.
Tesla revoked summer-internship offers last week, just weeks before start dates.
There are 28 jobs listed in Europe on Tesla’s website, mostly in Tesla’s Brandenburg Gigafactory in Germany. There are none posted for any other regions.
But Tesla’s career page and its LinkedIn don’t seem to be in sync.
