Tesla is currently recruiting nearly 800 new employees and these recruitment information has repeatedly appeared on the "Careers" page of Tesla's official website in recent weeks. Three months ago, Musk stated in an internal email to employees that more than 10% of the global workforce would be cut. Calculating it, more than 0.014 million people were affected by the layoff, making it the largest round of layoffs in the company's history. According to media analysis, these new job openings cover both AI experts and more common service positions.
On July 17th, Caixin reported that$Tesla (TSLA.US)$Tesla is currently recruiting nearly 800 new employees.
According to media analysis, these recruitment information has repeatedly appeared on the "Careers" page of Tesla's official website in recent weeks and these job openings cover both AI experts and more common service positions.
Three months ago, Musk stated in an internal email to employees that more than 10% of the global workforce would be cut. Calculating it, more than 0.014 million people were affected by the layoff, making it the largest round of layoffs in the company's history.
Media analysis believes that these 800 new job openings are far from the thousands of jobs cut, but the newly released recruitment information can also give outsiders a glimpse into Musk's priorities for the electric car company.
It is reported that many of these new positions at Tesla focus on AI and robotics products. At least 25 positions are related to autonomous driving development or Autopilot and more than 30 positions are dedicated to "Optimus" humanoid robots.
Earlier this week, Musk mentioned on social media that he had made changes to the front design of Robotaxi, which led to a delay in the original release plan. He added that the extra time would give Tesla the opportunity to showcase more.
These moves reflect Musk's vision for the company. He has also stated many times that he now sees Tesla as an AI, robotics and sustainable energy company, not just an electric car company.
Tesla has recorded 14 days of gains in the past 15 trading days on the US stock market. Many investors believe that the company will eventually push autonomous driving technology to the market, and these expectations, along with Musk's increasingly optimistic statements, have raised the stock price.
Tom Narayan, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, stated that Tesla's long-term value will come from autonomous driving taxis and autonomous driving software. Even if these products still need several years, "autonomous driving will disrupt this industry, which is enough."
However, analysts pointed out that Tesla will face fierce competition when competing for talent in the field of AI and robotics. Musk also admitted that Tesla must increase salaries in order to retain those who want to switch to OpenAI or join xAI.
In addition to AI, analysts also see Tesla's rapidly expanding energy storage business as a key long-term growth area. The company's website lists dozens of positions related to energy storage, ranging from engineers to installation of Megapacks and solar products.
In addition, Tesla's customer-facing department is also seeking to supplement employees. As of July 15th, the company has 268 service-related positions listed.
