Tesla profits nosedive as more job cuts announced
The EV maker brings forward launch plans for new models as profits drop by more than half.
Tesla has seen its profits more than halve this year, and says it will bring forward the launch of new models after announcing thousands of job cuts to try to reverse its fortunes.
Despite plans to bring forward new models originally planned for next year the firm is cutting its workforce.
Tesla said it would lose 3,332 jobs in California and 2,688 positions in Texas, starting mid-June.
The cuts in Texas represent 12% of Tesla's total workforce of almost 23,000 in the area where its gigafactory and headquarters are located.

"If somebody doesn't believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy I think they should not be an investor," he said.

Ah yes, the autonomous cars that are limited to only cameras and not any other form of sensor like radar/lidar will be so successful!
It doesn't matter what sensors you have. Autonomy is a pipe dream.
Autonomy is not a pipe dream. It might not happen with Teslas sensors, and it might not happen for many many more years, but it will happen.
There's nothing unattainable about it with sufficient technology
with sufficient technology
Well of course but that statement is writing a blank cheque. Let me cap my statement.
"...within the next century".
My pet theory is that self driving will start to really gain momentum when new construction in gentrified areas start designing roads with aids for self driving. It would require a degree of standardization to work across different manufacturers though.
ok. not gonna be an investor now. good advice đź‘Ť
(not that i planned to, but ok)
I'll pass on this bet. It's the Pareto law at its worst: impressive advancements in the first years and now progress halted by a million edge cases.
