07:05pm, Wednesday, 16'th Mar 2022 Zero Hedge
Tesla Halts Gigafactory Shanghai For Two Days Amid COVID Surge Tesla, Inc. shuttered its massive Gigafactory Shanghai for two days as Chinese officials scrambled to contain one of the country''s worst outbreaks of COVID-19 since the early days of the virus pandemic, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing a notice sent internally and to suppliers. Gigafactory Shanghai, also known as Gigafactory 3, halted all production lines, making Model 3 sedans and Model Y crossovers. There was no reason given for the stoppage at the plant. According to China Passenger Car Association data, the factory delivered 56,515 vehicles in February and produced 2,000 cars a day. The notice didn''t specify whether Tesla will increase future capacity to make up for the lost output when operations restart. China''s zero-tolerance approach has shuttered factories and placed some 51 million people into some form of lockdown in other cities. Shanghai has yet to declare a citywide lockdown but has closed some neighborhoods, shopping districts, and industrial parks and encouraged workers to remote work from home.
