Jones, the vice president of sales, service, and delivery in Tesla’s North American market, has departed after 15 years at the company.
Jones’ departure comes amid a flurry of high-level exits at the electric vehicle company, which has been struggling lately with a steep decline in sales.
Tesla did not immediately respond to Seeking Alpha’s request for a comment.
