Tesla lays off 200 people and Media loses their minds. GM fires 20, 000 people, crickets.

[dominicm]

I’m going to make a cray assumption that the closing of that Tesla location was due to Tesla moving as many operations out of California as possible and perhaps not everyone was willing to re-locate to Texas.

[geoyoshinaka]

Elon actually stated why in an interview 3 weeks ago. The Auto Labeler has gotten so good that it amplifies the throughput of each manual labeling by a factor of 100X. Hence fewer people are now needed to do the manual labeling

[Saxafruge]

Bloomberg indicated on radio that they were shifting labeler jobs to the Buffalo location, were they already have a team of labelers and where wages are cheaper . Also the Fremont factory is hugely profitable, despite the high costs

[grahambrown]

Considering Musk’s other comments about the progress of FSD, the layoff of manual labelling team can only be a positive 🤷🏻‍♂️

[davidelliott]

Were those image tagging people “fired” or were they offered jobs elsewhere in the company? Tesla is a big company who look after their good people so it’s highly unlikely would simply sack everyone.
If these were short term contractors - their job is to work themselves out of a job. That’s how it works.

[danielroden]

ive been laid off from 2 jobs. some let you say goodbye some dont. it depends on if they want to lessen the negative impact because obviously most will shit on the company to the people who remain and sometimes there are security risks. especially if people have access to propriety code or data.

[terenceiutzi]

They invested billions of dollars and they are still 30 years behind GM

[bigdougscommentary]

Autopilot is NOT FSD. You are conflating the two. This is the standard mistake EVERYONE, including NHTSA, Tesla owners, and the media. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

[SirJohn]

C'mon, they fired 200 of 1500... That's 13%...🤔

[davefroman]

Its nowhere near all of its autopilot team. Just a fraction of the labelers.

[joegrykan]

San Mateo....derrr it's in California, doesn't take a genius to figure out why for MANY reasons

[tltaber]

I live in San Mateo and I didn't know Tesla had an office here.

[kbmblizz]

My ❤️ for those got laid off. It can be quite tumultuous to be forced to make hard life changes. I've learned thru it. Be strong, recover. Know that luck favors the prepared. After many turns, I'm now *much* better off.

[alexmendoza]

Update. Salespeople and other people have been laid off at one of the Orange County stores and probably others too.

[Wolf-rctf]

I believe in your theory. Tesla shut down the Autopilot facility to ramp up DOJO.

[Kmen]

As someone who worked in this department, it was a complete joke to work for.

[obiwanceleri]

I don't know much but this much I know: That's 200 more people who won't be able to afford a Tesla (at least for a while).

[myronp]

DOJO is running, they don't need those labelers.Tesla can review It's labor force and add or trim where it needs

[bigdougscommentary]

I drive FSD Beta quite a bit. Not sure I would get rid of lablelers UNTIL FSD can handle a two-way street with edge lines and NO center line. The car wants to drive to the MIDDLE of the street instead of determining its own side.
