Tesla’s director of service for North America, Piero Landolfi, has left the company after nearly nine years, joining a wave of senior executive departures at the EV maker amid declining sales. Landolfi has taken on the role of senior vice president of operations at AI robotics and autonomous e-commerce technology firm Nimble.
- Landolfi cited Tesla’s “first principle thinking” and “getting stuff done mentality” as making his departure difficult.
- Recent high-profile exits include Troy Jones, Tesla’s top North America sales executive; Omead Afshar, a key manufacturing leader; Optimus humanoid robot head Milan Kovac; battery executive Vineet Mehta; and software chief David Lau.
- Raj Jegannathan now oversees sales following Jones’ departure.
- Tesla recently reported its steepest quarterly sales drop in over a decade and missed Wall Street profit forecasts, though car profit margins exceeded expectations.
- CEO Elon Musk warned of “rough quarters” ahead before anticipated revenue from self-driving software in late 2026.
