Sources confirmed Friday that David Lau, Tesla Inc.’s vice president of software engineering, has told colleagues he’s stepping down.

Lau’s 2023 Investor Day appearance alongside Musk aimed to calm investors amid the ongoing X saga. His departure creates a void as Tesla strives to recover in a turbulent EV market.
