No sooner did it seem Tesla got back up and running in Shanghai than its plant is apparently halting production yet again, according to an exclusive from Reuters late Monday night. The halt is due to "issues with supplies," according to the report.
It comes just three weeks after the plant resumed production after shutting down due to Covid lockdowns. The plant was closed for a total of 22 days, Reuters noted.
Shanghai is in its sixth week of lockdowns, the report notes, and as of now it is "unclear when the supply issues can be resolved and when Tesla can resume production".
Wire harness maker Aptiv is one supplier who is currently facing issues due to "infections found among its employees".
Tesla had just started to eye resuming double shifts at its plant, we noted last Friday. The plant was making plans to "resume double shifts" at its Shanghai factory as soon as mid-May after starting back up in mid April.
