Tesla's head of North American and European operations, Omead Afshar, has been fired by Elon Musk. This follows declining sales in these regions and a broader drop in Tesla's popularity. The firing comes before the end of a quarter expected to show a significant drop in global EV deliveries. Tesla's struggles include the underperformance of the Cybertruck, increasing competition from Chinese rivals, and a controversial pivot towards robotaxi services, while sales of its core electric vehicles are declining.
