Tesla is among the world’s largest electric car manufacturers. Thanks to the advanced features and battery technology it offers to its users, the company is very popular and easily reaches good sales figures around the world.
Especially with the chip crisis and supply line problems, many automakers had to close their factories. Thanks to his management on these issues, Tesla got out of this crisis and achieved the highest sales success of all time. Although this was the case, COVID-19 affected the company again. Giga Shanghai in China suspended production.
Tesla may further extend the Giga Shanghai factory shutdown time!
Tesla had a successful process despite the chip crisis. In the last quarter of 2021, the company broke the all-time record by delivering 310,000 cars. The company, which continued this success in the first quarter of 2022, unfortunately had to close its factory in China due to COVID-19.
It was thought that this shutdown, which took place after the COVID-19 epidemic again spread in China, would not be long. However, it has been 12 days since the factory stopped production and there is no clear information about when the factory will open yet. Although this does not endanger current shipments, it will cause Tesla company some problems in the second quarter of 2022.
Currently, around 2,000 cars are produced per day in Giga Shanghai. Considering that it has been 12 days since the factory was closed, we can say that this closure cost the company 24,000 vehicles. Because of this, stretching may occur in many shipments.
According to the information published by Bloomberg, Tesla informed its suppliers in China that they will be closed until at least April 7 and asked them to prepare accordingly. The fact that Tesla officials give a clear date shows us that the closure may be even longer. If the shutdown is lengthy, the company’s delivery chain may lag for several months.
So, what are your thoughts? When do you think Giga Factory Shanghai will start production? Will Tesla produce 24,000 vehicles in its different factories? Do not forget to share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
