Reports of a massive layoff by Tesla in Northern Nevada are officially confirmed after the company officially filed a notice with the state.
Tesla notified Nevada of its plans to lay off 693 employees at various locations in the area as part of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The WARN Act requires employers to provide notification 60 days in advance when laying off 100 or more workers.
