This week, there’s a significant change in leadership at Tesla as it appears that Omead Afshar, Vice President of Manufacturing and Operations, has been dismissed by CEO Elon Musk directly. Afshar was responsible for supervising key employees and overseeing the company’s business operations, with his direct reporting line to Musk. His departure is rumored to be linked to a decrease in year-over-year vehicle sales at Tesla.
The departure of Tesla’s Vice President Omeed Afshar was initially announced by Forbes magazine, based on earlier reports from Bloomberg about his exit from the company. At Tesla, Afshar managed a team of approximately six individuals responsible for overseeing sales across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This team additionally handled business development and policy revisions. Notably, Afshar was one of Tesla’s key executives reporting directly to Elon Musk.
Omeed Afshar has collaborated closely with Elon Musk across several projects at Tesla, such as splitting his time between duties at Tesla and SpaceX, Musk’s aerospace company. Prior to this week, he was also involved in the launch of the Robotaxi in Austin, Texas. However, Q1 2025 has been troubling for Tesla’s performance indicators. The automotive sales for the company dropped by 20% compared to Q1 2024, forcing Tesla to address shareholders about the numerous factors contributing to this decline.
It appears that Afshar was held responsible for the decrease in Tesla’s sales, leaving him in a disadvantageous position. Now that he has left, it is unclear who will step into his role to manage Tesla’s manufacturing and operations. Keep an eye on Tesla-related news for further developments.
