Key Departures From Tesla

The news comes as Tesla has seen several high-profile exits from the company, including Musk's close aide Omead Afshar's departure, leading to the billionaire personally overseeing North American and European Sales.

Musk then appointed Raj Jegganathan, an IT executive at Tesla, to lead the company's sales following Troy Jones' exit from the company after a 15-year stint as the top sales executive.

Tesla's Dwindling Sales

Elsewhere, Tesla has been experiencing a decline in sales on a global level. The company recorded a decline in UK sales, delivering over 987 units in the country. This also coincided with poor sales in Denmark, Sweden and France, all reporting double-digit drops.

The company also recorded a 21% decline in sales in California, despite the Model 3 and Model Y holding best-selling spots in the state.
