Afshar's role at Tesla and the company's focus shift
Afshar joined in 2017 and helped ramp up Model 3 production and build the Austin factory, also overseeing sales in North America and Europe.
He'd recently faced some internal questions about construction material purchases.
His exit comes as Tesla shifts focus to AI and self-driving tech, with robotaxi trials starting in Austin.
The leadership team now includes Musk, CFO Vaibhav Taneja, and SVP Tom Zhu—plus, everyone's waiting on next week's global delivery numbers.
