Tesla's (TSLA [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/TSLA]) Cybertruck chief, Siddhant Awasthi, announced his departure after more than eight years at the company.

Awasthi announced the news in a LinkedIn post [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7393453677438697472/], stating that he had worked across various divisions in Tesla (TSLA [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/TSLA]), including on the Model 3, working on the Shanghai Gigafactory, and then delivering the Cybertruck.
