Tesla is a massive company, employing 140,000 people as of late last year. But over the past month, layoffs have torn through the electric vehicle maker — and now a hiring freeze appears to be in effect in North America.

As of Wednesday, just three positions were listed on Tesla’s job board . They’re all for jobs to join its manufacturing development program in Texas, California , or Nevada, a seven-week training program that promises the “opportunity to transition into a full-time Production Associate” at a Tesla factory.

That’s a far cry from the more than 3,400 postings that were offered across the United States, Mexico, Canada and Puerto Rico as of May 1, according to an archived version of Tesla’s career webpage . (Puerto Rico is listed separately despite being a U.S. territory.) The bulk of those positions were in California, Texas, and Nevada, where the company has sprawling “gigafactories.” Many of the jobs were still posted on Tesla’s website as recently as Tuesday .

On LinkedIn, Tesla advertises 326 jobs. Most are located in China, with a few others in Europe and at least one in the Dominican Republican. Just one, for the manufacturing development program , appears to be located in the U.S.
