Tesla’s China communications official leaves in less than a year
By Bloomberg
Tesla Motors Inc., the electric-car manufacturer led by billionaire Elon Musk, said a communications executive at its China operations has left the automaker after less than a year on the job.
June Jin, vice president of communications, is no longer with the company, Tesla’s China spokesman Gary Tao said by telephone. He didn’t subsequently respond to further calls to his office or mobile phone seeking additional information. Jin didn’t answer calls to her mobile phone, nor immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
Jin’s departure follows the automaker’s China President Veronica Wu quitting in December. Musk last month said sales in China have fallen because of concerns consumers in the country have over charging its electric vehicles.
Tesla, based in Palo Alto, California, started delivering cars in the world’s largest auto market last year.
The automaker has nine stores and service centers in six Chinese cities and has tied up with companies including China Unicom and Soho China Ltd. to build charging stations. Tesla has 700 power points in 70 cities across China, making it the market with the biggest network after the U.S., the company has said.
Before joining Tesla, Jin was the chief marketing officer at map software company Autonavi Holdings Ltd. She has also worked at Amazon.com Inc.
