Tesla is letting go of contract workers from its U.S. car and battery plants, sources told CNBC. They estimated the cuts will affect hundreds.

Temps -- many of whom worked at Tesla for years, some hoping to jump into full-time roles -- were notified by their staffing agencies about the cuts late this week. The staffing agency told workers that they would remain Balance Staffing employees, and could find other work via their business. Balance Staffing also promised it would work hard to bring the contractors back to Tesla in the future if at all possible, and reassured the workers that the dismissals from Tesla were not a reflection of the quality of their work, but rather difficult business conditions.
