Tesla told staff it will impose a $200-per-week limit on employee AI spending starting July 6, according to an internal memo reported by [The Information](https://www.theinformation.com/articles/tesla-caps-employee-ai-spend-200-per-week-adoption-push) (paywall).

The cap lands just months after Tesla pushed employees to use AI more aggressively, a sign that even companies betting their future on the technology are struggling to control its costs.
