Tesla Motors is now adjusting to its slow market profit in China.
Gary Tao, a spokesperson for Tesla, confirmed that the company was indeed restructuring its business in China to adjust to the evolving Chinese market.
Meanwhile, a representative from Tesla told The Register that the structural adjustments in the electric vehicle company is almost finished, and that it was part of their 2015 China Strategies plan that was announced by Tesla General Manager Tom Zhu. The company is aiming to establish a efficient team to address concerns in the market and to adjust accordingly.
It would seem that Tesla has no plans in exiting the Chinese market despite the continued market sales loss.
"We're committed to and confident in the business in China," the Tesla representative said.
Part of Tesla's plan was to downsize its workforce in China. Around 200 to 600 jobs or up to 30 percent of the company's staff in China are estimated to be affected by the plan.
Consumers in China are not very interested to purchase Tesla vehicles because of concerns regarding the lack of charging stations for their electric cars.
Tesla's China problem is not the only issue the Model S maker is facing.
Recent rumors are claiming that the company's Gigafactory in Reno, which is expected to manufacture batteries next year, is being delayed. However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself took to Twitter to clear up all the false news.
Musk tweeted that "anyone near Reno with eyes" can clearly see for themselves that the construction is still on track.
In addition, several photos taken from a drone also show that there is actual development in Tesla's Gigafactory construction.
