Renjie Zhu, the director of manufacturing in charge of Cybertruck production is no longer with Tesla. He announced on LinkedIn:
According to Electrek :
After triumphing the epic launch of Cybertruck program and ramping the volume production line to the steady 1K/W throughput orbit for the past 16 months in GFTX, also 7 weeks after the 5th Tesla-versary, my adventure with this great company has come to an end.
According to Electrek :
Zhu was in charge of manufacturing operations for Tesla’s highly succesful Model 3 and Model Y production lines at Gigafactory Shanghai.
In 2023, he came to Gigafactory Austin after Tom Zhu, then the head of Tesla’s operations in China, was placed in charge of roughly Tesla’s entire automotive operations with the goal of replicating Tesla’s success in Shanghai at its North American factories.
As we reported, Tom Zhu recently went back to China, leading the company’s effort there, and gave up his responsibilities in North America.
As for Renjie Zhu, it’s unclear if he left Tesla of his own accord or if he was let go as part of the layoffs.
