Tesla submitted a 10-K annual report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), showing that the company will recruit a total of 28,533 employees in 2021, an increase of 40.3% in the number of employees.
As of December 31, 2021, Tesla and its subsidiaries had 99,290 full-time employees worldwide, compared with 70,757 at the end of 2020. Tesla said the company considers its relationship with its employees to be “good” because the company has not experienced any labor-related shutdowns.
The document also shows that Tesla’s revenue in the Chinese market will reach $13.844 billion in 2021, $6.662 billion in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 107.8%, and only $2.979 billion in the same period in 2019.
The Chinese market has increased by more than 100% for two consecutive years. At the same time, the document also revealed that Tesla lost more than $100 million on its bitcoin investment last year.
