Former Tesla executive Chris Lister is retiring, and at least three other VPs have left Redwood around the recent restructuring, TechCrunch has learned.

The company is following through on its promise to not let Musk "double dip" if he won his appeal to restore Tesla's 2018 compensation package, worth $56 billion.

The admission could open Tesla to legal challenges after it spent years promising customers they were just one software update away from owning fully autonomous cars.

Sales rebounded a bit from the first quarter of 2025, as Tesla throws a ton of money at massive bets like robotics, AI, and its own chip fab.

The company's all-important mass-market EV is just about ready to start heading to customers.

The company is restructuring some teams to accommodate a booming energy storage business, according to emails viewed by TechCrunch.
