"In a statement to Reuters, Tesla Germany stated that there has been no significant reduction in permanent staff at its Gigafactory in Grünheide compared with 2024, and that there are no plans to curb production or cut jobs at the facility. "Compared to 2024, there has been no significant reduction in the number of permanent staff. Nor are there any such plans."
"There might be a pretty good reason why Giga Berlin reduced its headcount in 2024. As highlighted by industry watcher Alex Voigt, in April of that year,Elon Musk reduced Tesla's global workforce by more than 10% as part of an effort to lower costs and improve productivity. At the time, several notable executives departed the company, and the Supercharger team was culled."
"Thats incorrect.🇩🇪 Giga Berlin has reduced employee like all other factories globally in 2024 when Elon announced the global cost-cutting program.There is no such thing as a new reduction of employees in Giga Berlin.The media is trying to cook an old story making it look... https://t.co/hHjxT5pOva- Alex (@alex_avoigt) January 21, 2026"
Production and permanent staffing at Gigafactory Berlin remain stable, with no significant reduction in permanent staff compared with 2024 and no plans to curb production or cut jobs. An external claim estimated a workforce decline of about 1,700 since 2024, equivalent to 14%, citing internal documents. Headcount fluctuations at a large manufacturing facility are characterized as normal. A global workforce reduction exceeding 10% in April 2024 reduced employee numbers across factories as part of cost-cutting and productivity measures, and that period included notable executive departures and cuts to the Supercharger team.
