TESLA LAYOFFS PROMPT SOLAR FACILITY CLOSURES IN 9 STATES

More than dozen Tesla solar facilities are expected to close in nine states on the heels of its announcement last week to cut 9% of its workforce, according to a new report.

Reuters, which obtained several internal documents and interviewed multiple employees, said the electric carmaker plans to close 13 to 14 of its solar facilities and end its retail partnership with Home Depot that many current and former employees said generated about half of its sales. However, 60 installation facilities will still remain open.

According to an internal email, the affected states include California, Maryland, New Jersey, Texas, New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Arizona and Delaware.

While a Tesla spokesperson declined to comment on which sites it plans to shutter or how many solar employees will lose their jobs, it did say it continues “to expect that Tesla’s solar and battery business will be the same size as automotive over the long term.”
