Tesla climbed to 16th position in the H-1B employer rankings for 2024, securing 742 initial H-1B petitions, more than double the 328 approved in 2023. Additionally, Tesla had 1,025 petitions for continuing employment approved this year, highlighting its growing reliance on foreign expertise to fill crucial roles.
