April 17 (Reuters) - Tesla plans to lay off 285

employees in Buffalo, New York, a legally mandated notice showed

on Wednesday, as the electric-vehicle maker trims 10% of its

workforce.

The notice was issued under the Worker Adjustment and

Retraining Notification (WARN) Act which requires employers to

provide a 60-day notice before layoffs.

The company has a total of 2,032 employees across the

impacted sites in Buffalo.
