(Bloomberg/Stefan Nicola) — Tesla Inc.’s head of the Cybertruck program is leaving the company, adding to a series of high-level departures this year as the electric-vehicle maker struggles with uneven sales.
Siddhant Awasthi, who oversaw the development and ramp-up of the divisive pickup truck, is departing Tesla after three years in that role, he said in a post on LinkedIn.
“This decision wasn’t easy, especially with so much exciting growth on the horizon,” Awasthi wrote. He didn’t specify what he’ll do next.
