Let's say we take this at face value and that reducing staff by % reduction is the 100% right move to do.
In Q1 tesla faced a week long outage at Berlin due to an attack on a power station.
In Q1 tesla had a multi week outage due to rerouting ships around the red sea due to ships being attacked.
That's a pretty substantial downtime for a factory in a single quarter.
Making a % to % comparison like that and ignoring wtf happened that quarter is senseless.
Edit: I also think it was the 1st quarter without the incentive on some cars in the USA and that shock takes time to adjust for.
It's pure and utter nonsense. If that was orthodoxy or even good sense no company would exist. You have no sales as a new company do you have 0 staff or do you need to hire people to build product and make sales before you have ever sold anything? The company sales increase by 10,000% by going from 1 sale to 100 do you increase your workforce by 10,000% too?
The man's brain is cheese from the drugs.
Also it's weird to compare consecutive quarters instead of year-over-year quarters, isn't it?
Yes you don't normally compare q4 to q1 because cars are seasonal.
For example, the Chinese new year is in Q1 and always results in fewer cars.
It should always be comparing the same quarter as the previous year.
The media often uses this to their advantage to paint good or bad pictures of companies depending on if their masters want someone to look good or bad.
