Tesla's factory workforce in Texas decreased by 22% in 2025, dropping from 21,191 to 16,506 employees, amid declining sales for the second consecutive year. Despite this reduction, Tesla's global workforce grew from 125,665 to 134,785 employees. The specific teams affected by the layoffs at the Austin plant remain unclear. Tesla has invested over $6.3 billion in the facility, which has become a major employer in the area since its opening in 2022, following the relocation of its headquarters there in 2021.
