Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
Andrew Baglino, Senior Vice President, Powertrain and Energy Engineering of Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla,”, or the “Company”), resigned from Tesla, effective as of April 14, 2024. Mr. Baglino served in this position since October 2019, prior to which he served in various engineering positions continuously since joining Tesla in March 2006. Tesla is grateful to Mr. Baglino for his leadership and contributions to our significant innovation and growth over the course of his 18-year career.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On April 15, 2024, Tesla announced a company-wide restructuring that reduces our headcount by more than 10% globally. Over the years, we have grown rapidly with multiple factories scaling around the globe. With this rapid growth, there has been a duplication of roles and job functions in certain areas. We believe it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the Company for cost reductions and increasing productivity. This action will prepare Tesla for our next phase of growth, as we are developing some of the most revolutionary technologies in auto, energy and artificial intelligence.
