The construction of Giga Mexico, Tesla’s upcoming factory in Nuevo León, is not affected by the recent global staff reduction at the company. According to Iván Rivas Rodríguez, Secretary of Economy of Nuevo León, Tesla’s investment in the municipality of Santa Catarina is still on track and the collaboration with the company remains unchanged.
Despite global layoffs, Rodríguez reassured that everything is proceeding as planned in coordination with Tesla. He stated that there is no perceived risk and that the work on Tesla Giga Mexico is ongoing.
Recent staff reductions at Tesla saw some employees receive 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.
