The Shanghai plant of the global leader in the electric car industry, Tesla, did not reopen as scheduled on May 6 after the May 1 Labor Day Holiday in mainland China, raising concerns.
Tesla’s headquarters is located in Los Angeles and the plant in Shanghai joined its production line in 2019. The temporary shutdown was confirmed by an employee of the Tesla plant who said that it was due to the impact of the pandemic. According to Chinese media, the shutdown of the plant in Shanghai was a result of a “component shortage” from overseas.
In response to this, a Tesla China official released a statement: "Tesla Shanghai is adjusting to normal production due to test run[s] and maintenance of production lines that were carried out during the recent holidays," and "all work is being executed according to plan."
Mr. Zhang, an employee at the Tesla plant confirmed to NTD that the shutdown is due to the impact of the pandemic.
Journalist: “Why did Tesla not open for work as scheduled? Is it because of the pandemic?”
Mr. Zhang: “Yes.”
Journalist: “When will the plant open for work then?”
Mr. Zhang: “We don’t know.”
A customer service agent for Tesla, on the other hand, indicated that they do not have any information on the factory.
Customer service agent: “We do not have any information concerning the shutdown or the reopening. You need to refer back to our official website.”
According to Auto Annual Ring’s report, the localization rate of Tesla ’s Shanghai plant was about 30% and highly relies on the overseas supply chain. As the pandemic continues to worsen in the U.S., not only did Tesla discontinue its production but Ford, GM, Fiat, Chrysler, and other North American plants have also shut down temporarily.
In addition, the Detroit Auto Show announced its cancellation and the supply chain of auto parts has been hit hard as well. For instance, many internationally renowned auto parts suppliers such as Bosch, Aisin, ZF, and others have different degrees of production shutdowns.
