On April 22nd, according to foreign media reports, Tesla will release its latest financial report on Tuesday. Analysts expect operating profit to plummet by 40% and revenue to decline for the first time in four years. Musk has ordered 10% layoffs and bet the company's future on the next generation autonomous car concept, known as Robotaxi. People familiar with the matter are uneasy about the reform, and the company has not yet built most of the infrastructure required for Robotaxi, nor has it received regulatory approval to test the car on public roads. At present, Musk has delayed plans to launch a car priced at about $25,000, while many Tesla investors and some insiders are promoting the car. In addition, sources said that Tesla may actually lay off more than 20,000 people. Musk gave the reason that Tesla should lay off 20% of its workforce, as deliveries fell 20% month-on-month in Q1 this year.
