In addition to technical positions, Tesla also plans to add staff in areas that were previously drastically cut, including hiring hundreds of service positions. This move means that the company is balancing its human resources structure.
Tesla’s massive hiring plan was launched after the company’s better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and CEO Elon Musk’s victory at the annual shareholder meeting in June. These positive factors have driven Tesla’s stock price steadily up from $187 to $250 over the past month, while also boosting investor confidence in the company’s leadership.
The company's shift to AI and robotics reflects Tesla's strategic adjustment in the face of increasing competition in the electric vehicle market and slowing demand and sales. The shift marks Tesla's transformation from a traditional luxury electric car maker to a broader technology company.
It is worth noting that before launching this round of recruitment, Tesla had experienced a difficult period in early 2024, including a year-on-year decline in car deliveries in the first quarter, and a subsequent global layoff plan. However, the company has now begun to rehire some of the laid-off employees, showing that its business is gradually recovering.
