Cailianshe News, July 17 (Edited by Zhao Hao)According to media reports, Tesla is hiring nearly 800 new employees.

Media analysis said that these recruitment information have continued to appear on the "Job Opportunities" page of Tesla's official website in recent weeks. These positions cover both artificial intelligence (AI) experts and more common service jobs.

Three months ago, Musk announced in an internal email to employees that more than 10% of the global workforce would be cut. According to calculations, more than 14,000 employees were affected by the layoffs, which is the largest round of layoffs in the company's history.

Media analysis believes that although the 800 new jobs are far from the thousands of jobs that were cut, the newly released recruitment information can give the outside world a glimpse into Musk’s priorities for the electric car company.

According to reports, many of Tesla's new recruitment positions are focused on products in the fields of AI and robotics. At least 25 positions are related to autonomous driving development or Autopilot, and more than 30 positions are focused on the humanoid robot "Optimus".

Earlier this week, Musk mentioned on social media that he requested changes to the front design of the Robotaxi, which delayed the original launch plan. He added that the extra time will give Tesla a chance to show more.

These actions reflect Musk's vision for the company. He has mentioned many times that he now sees Tesla more as an AI company, a robotics company, and a sustainable energy company, rather than just an electric car company.

Tesla has posted gains for 13 of the past 14 trading days as many investors believe the company will eventually bring self-driving technology to market, and those expectations, along with Musk's increasingly optimistic comments, have boosted the stock price.

Tom Narayan, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, said Tesla's long-term value will come from self-driving taxis and self-driving software, and even if those products are still years away, "self-driving will disrupt the industry, and that's enough."

However, some analysts pointed out that Tesla will face fierce competition in the fight for AI and robotics-related talents. Musk also admitted that Tesla must increase salaries to retain those who want to switch to OpenAI or join xAI.

In addition to AI, analysts also view Tesla's rapidly expanding energy storage business as a key long-term growth area, and the company's website also lists dozens of energy storage-related positions, ranging from engineers to jobs installing Megapacks and solar products.

In addition, Tesla's customer-facing departments are also looking to add employees. As of July 15, the company had a total of 268 service-related positions listed.
