The job cuts also included an exodus of top executives, including Drew Baglino, Rohan Patel, Rebecca Tinucci and Daniel Ho.The company said in April it was working on "new models" that would use its current platforms and production lines - a move that is expected to let it better control capital expenditures.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is not in his heart, and he does not act according to the Shabad.

One who acts in harmony with the Guru‟s Will, O Nanak, is absorbed in the Truest of the True.
