Depends which source is quoted...
".....The cuts are almost entirely made from salaried employees...."...note '
http://fortune.com/2018/06/12/tesla-layoffs-workers/
But...bottom line...Musk is facing a huge management issue that is mainly of his making
Like finally announcing flattening his organization...hello Musk...that is MBA 101 management metric that most MBA's forget about...
Or his comment of the cloud based upgrade to Model 3 braking to become the best in class...well...why didn't you do that in the first place?...or did the internal certification process miss that one???
Another thing that is about to pop up...anyone drive by their Fremont factory? I do often to meet with clients and cruise a bit over to their HUGE lots all over the place around the main factory...
There are pallets and pallets of parts just sitting out on the lots, parking areas and even out in the dirt. Been there a loooong time and am informed that they are going to go to jobbers to bring them up to spec...what???...am told that they were not made to spec...but were allowed to enter their stock/parts system...now they are in a urination contest between the vendor and Tesla...Tesla won't pay and now the vendors are refusing to ship anymore parts...
Got it from workers inside the fence and folks know still working in there...but for those Fan Boys who have to eyeball it from an Internet source...here is one
Tesla ships flawed parts from suppliers to a local machine shop for fixes, and they're piled up outside

Tesla Parts Spotted Piled Outside San Jose Machine Shop
If me...I'd not accept a 'new' vehicle with these reworked parts...
