Tesla executive mysteriously leaves company amid rounds of massive layoffs

A Tesla executive in charge of Cybertruck manufacturing has mysteriously left the company, according to reports.
This comes after three top Tesla executives quit the Elon Musk-led company over the course of less than two weeks in April. 
In a post on LinkedIn earlier this week, former director of manufacturing Renjie Zhu said his “adventure with this great company has come to an end” following his “fifth Tesla-versary.”
Zhu was the head of manufacturing at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai and moved to the company’s factory in Austin, Texas, last year.
It is unclear whether Zhu was laid off or left on his own accord, but it leaves Cybertruck vulnerable to persistent production problems, including odd design decisions and poor quality.
Many Cybertruck owners have encountered serious technical issues, such as extremely long wait times at service centers, damaging coolant leaks, and random shutdowns.
Every Cybertruck was even recalled in the US last month over serious design flaws, as well.
Zhu is only the latest in a series of executives who quit Tesla in recent weeks.
Rich Otto, Tesla’s head of product launches, announced last week that he was leaving the company after seven years. In a now-deleted post on LinkedIn, Otto seemed to criticize Musk’s increase in layoffs.

Other executives who have recently left the company include Drew Baglino, former senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering, Rohan Patel, former public policy executive, and Martin Viecha, former vice president of investor relations.
It seems the company’s issues are unlikely to go away anytime soon, as several rounds of mass layoffs continue to hit its employees.
Musk announced in mid-April that Tesla was planning to lay off about a tenth of its workforce to try to cut costs in response to dismal first-quarter sales.
The layoffs could affect about 14,000 of the 140,473 workers employed by the Austin, Texas, company at the end of last year.
