Some 26 of the top people fired.Tesla Motors, the company behind the delayed high-performance electric car the Roadster, is laying off staff.
Tesla said the job cuts were about performance not reducing the overall headcount. Darryl Siry, Tesla's VP of sales and marketing told San Jose Mercury News: "If you don't get the job done, there are consequences. We haven't had that before."
I am not really surprised. There's been problems with them being able to get the perfomance out of the cars that they promised. They
say customers will be able to take delivery this quarter, but the talk is that the cars will have to be recalled at some point, when they're able to get the performance up to what they promised.
