"It's tough to sum up eight years in just a few lines, but what a thrilling journey it's been: ramping up Model 3, working on Giga Shanghai, developing new electronics and wireless architectures, and delivering the once-in-a-lifetime Cybertruckall before hitting 30. This decision wasn't easy, especially with so much exciting growth on the horizon."
"Leading the All-New Model Y launch was the highlight: converting all 4 factories across 3 continents in just 2 weeks. Something that had never been done before in the auto industry."
"They're just the latest in a series of exits from Tesla's top ranks. Omead Afshar, a longtime close advisor to Elon Musk who most recently oversaw sales and manufacturing operations across North America and Europe, left in June. Troy Jones, Tesla's vice president of sales for North America, left the company in July after 15 years. Drew Baglino, its senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering, exited in 2024 and founded a startup in the energy space."
Two senior vehicle program managers overseeing Cybertruck, Model 3 and Model Y announced departures after eight years at Tesla. The exits occur as Tesla shifts focus from vehicles toward AI, robotics and self-driving technology. The Model Y remains Tesla's best-selling vehicle, with over one million deliveries last year. Several other senior figures have left recently, including executives overseeing sales, manufacturing and powertrain engineering. Neither departing manager disclosed their next steps. The company has undergone rapid vehicle launches and factory conversions during a period of broader strategic transition and executive turnover.
