特斯拉在裁员中

称霸世界的电动汽车特斯拉日前宣佈将在全球汽车厰中裁员十分之一，根据最新之财务报告显示，特斯拉目前有十四万员工，但是它在今年第一季之销售下降了百分之九，从去年同期四十二万三千辆下降為三十八万六千辆。

特斯拉一些高级主管也在纷纷离职，这将意味着一场电动汽车之贸易争夺战已经在全球展开之中。

近年来中国大陆之电动汽车正在不断向全球市塲展销之中，此种趋势正在全面威胁着西欧及美国市场。

拜登总统和希望重返白宫的川普皆大声疾呼绝不会让中国製造之电动车进入美国市场，这将直接威胁汽车王国之地位。

财长耶伦到北京之主要任务也是希望说服中国不要向世界推销廉价能源及电动汽车，这将会影响美国百万人口之生计。

我们不知这些高关税及阻止进口之行动是否可行？只待时间来証实了，电动车市场之争夺战必然会日渐加剧之中。

Tesla Is Laying Off Its Workforce

Tesla is in the midst of a workforce reduction. The world-dominating electric car manufacturer recently announced a global layoff of one-tenth of its workforce.

According to latest reports, Tesla currently has 140,000 employees,

but its sales dropped by 9% in the

first quarter of 2024 from 423,000 vehicles sold in the same period time last year to 386,000 vehicles sold this year.

Some senior executives at Tesla are also resigning signaling the beginning of a global battle for new leadership of the electric car industry. The main reason is that China's electric cars have been increasingly entering global markets and posing a direct threat to EV sales in Western Europe and U.S. markets.

Both President Biden and Trump have vehemently stated that they will not allow Chinese-made electric cars to enter the U.S. market. Within this context, imposing high tariffs and preventing imports may be a way

to temporarily cope with the situation, but the feasibility of such measures for the long-term remains to be proven over time and actual circumstances.
