According to the edition VC, 12 Jun CEO Tesla Ilon Musk published in his Twitter news about reducing the company's staff by 9%. According to him, the reason for the reorganization of the business - a way to reduce costs and become a stable profitable company.

The situation will not affect the achievement of the goals for the production of the car Model 3the entrepreneur assured. One week before the end of June 2018 Tesla plans to release 5 thousand Model 3, clarifies the CNBC edition.

From the beginning of 2018 of the year Tesla Expanded staff - currently it is about 46 thousands of employees, and after the reduction, more than 4 thousands of specialists will leave the company, according to CNBC.

The publication has led a copy of the letter Mask staff Tesla.

As mentioned earlier, we are planning a large-scale reorganization of the company. Tesla has grown rapidly in recent years, which has led to a doubling of some positions. Such a decision made sense in the past, but now it is difficult to justify it.

To reduce costs and become a profitable company, we made the difficult decision to part with the 9% of our staff. These reductions are mainly related to hired employees, and our production partners are not included in this list. The situation will not affect the achievement of the goals for the production of the car Model 3.

If we take into account the fact that over the years 15 Tesla has not yet shown annual profit, it is obvious that money is not something for which we work. We are inspired by the opportunity to create a source of clean energy, but we will never achieve this goal if we do not show the world that we can be a stable profitable company. This is a fair criticism. Tesla.

This week we will alert everyone who is involved in this situation. We made a decision, critically evaluating each position and the extent to which it is possible to perform this work more effectively. In addition, we appreciated the abilities and skills of each employee of the company.

As you know, we continue to work on our organizational structure in order to improve communication within the company, reduce bureaucracy and solve problems faster. In addition to the restructuring, we decided not to renew the agreement with Home Depotto focus on solar sales in showrooms Tesla and online. Most employees Teslawho are busy in Home Depot, will receive a job offer in retailers points Tesla.

I would like to thank everyone who invested in Tesla over the years. I am deeply grateful for your work. And it's hard for me to say goodbye. To smooth out the effects of dismissal, Tesla will offer employees with whom we part, a big salary and bonuses.

For clarity - Tesla continue to hire brilliant employees to important positions, as we move forward and for this we need specialists in the production department. I also want to emphasize that the difficult decision that we have to take now gives hope that in the future we will not have to do it anymore.

Thanks to everyone who leaves us. I wish you well-being in the future. I wish to thank all those who remain in advance for the hard work that we still have to do. We are a small company in one of the most competitive and complex industries on Earth, in which simply keeping afloat and growing is already an achievement (Tesla and Ford - The only US companies not recognized bankrupt).

Despite our size, Tesla has already played a significant role in the development of the industry and continue to move it forward. We must continue to do this, because we benefit the world.

Thank you, Ilon.
