Tesla has experienced the departure of its 10th senior executive in 2025, affecting key divisions including sales and artificial intelligence. Among the recent exits is Piero Landolfi, the North American director of service, who left after nine years with the company. This wave of executive departures coincides with Tesla's decision to shut down its in-house Dojo supercomputer project, which was intended to advance the company’s self-driving technology. Following the cancellation of Dojo, Tesla is shifting away from internal chip production and instead partnering with Nvidia, AMD, and Samsung to support its autonomous driving ambitions. Industry observers note that Tesla aims to supply autonomous software to a broad range of vehicles, potentially licensing its Full Self-Driving technology to other manufacturers. The developments raise questions about Tesla's leadership and strategic direction in the autonomous vehicle sector.
