Impacted are eight facilities in Santa Clara, California, and Sunnyvale, California.

With no production vehicles in the pipeline until at least 2023, it is unknown what the future holds for Project Titan and other workers.

This appears to repeat January’s (2019) layoffs of over 200 Project Titan employees. It appears that there is some reorganization afoot, but nobody is leaking details.

Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere ... are you now wondering, Am I Next?
