Tesla targets pre-lockdown output at Shanghai factory by mid-May
TwitterWhatsappLinkedin

Tesla aims to increase output in its Giga Shanghai plant to 2,600 cars a day from May 16th. It means the production rate would be at the pre-lockdown period. Tesla China’s production has gone down in recent times as the factory was shut down for two weeks, and then the production was being increased slowly.

Tesla, which is now only running one shift, plans to add more at its Shanghai plant from May 16 to achieve the goal, the memo reviewed by Reuters showed. That would bring weekly output to 16,900 vehicles based on Tesla’s established workweek at the facility, according to Reuters. It would also represent a return to the production levels at the plant before Shanghai’s lockdown in late March forced the company to suspend work there.

Pre-lockdown

Before the lockdown, Tesla had run three shifts at the Shanghai plant. The factory, which makes Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y, reopened on April 19 after a 22-day closure, its longest since the site opened in late 2019. The Shanghai lockdown has also been challenging for Tesla and other manufacturers because of the complication of getting parts from suppliers.

In one example, Aptiv, which supplies wire harnesses for Tesla, was not able to resume production in mid-April and there were concerns that this could have a knock-on effect on the automaker’s production, according to a person familiar with the matter. But Tesla managed to secure wire harnesses from other suppliers and Aptiv got approval from authorities to resume production at the end of April, the person said.

But Tesla managed to secure wire harnesses from other suppliers and Aptiv got approval from authorities to resume production at the end of April, the person said. Aptiv said Friday that “all wiring harnesses supplied came from Aptiv.” The disruption to Tesla’s Shanghai plant has been one of the highest-profile consequences of China’s measures to control its biggest COVID-19 outbreak, which has also crimped consumption, including vehicle sales.

Sales of electric vehicles had been booming in China before the COVID lockdowns. Tesla’s sales in China jumped 56% in the first quarter, while EV sales by its larger rival in China, BYD, increased fivefold. Tesla assembled 55,462 vehicles in March at its Shanghai plant when it paused production for six days in the month, data from China Passenger Car Association showed. The reopening of its Shanghai factory was heavily publicized by state media and was undertaken with the support of authorities who helped Tesla transport more than 6,000 workers and carry out disinfection work, Reuters reported this week.
