(Reuters) -Electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ launched another round of layoffs that includes staff in the software, service and engineering departments, Electrek reported on Monday, citing emails and sources familiar with the matter.
The move comes after the Elon Musk-led automaker dissolved its electric vehicle charging department following Tesla's announcement last month that it was reducing its global workforce by more than 10%.
Tesla, whose shares rose about 1%, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The electric vehicle maker has been under pressure from falling sales and an intensifying price war between automakers as high interest rates have slowed adoption of electric vehicles.
Tesla revealed last month that it expects to post more than $350 million in costs in the second quarter due to mass layoffs. The job cuts also included an exodus of senior executives, including Drew Baglino, Rohan Patel, Rebecca Tinucci and Daniel Ho.
Tesla said in April that it was working on “new models” that would use its current platforms and production lines, a move that is expected to allow it to better control capital spending.
