Tesla had to shut down its EV factory in China recently due to the country's strict COVID-19 lockdown. At first, it seemed the factory freeze would be short-lived, though Tesla has had to extend the shutdown. Now, the automaker doesn't expect to open the Gigafactory until at least the end of today, though it will likely be longer.
While the factory closure in China probably didn't impact Tesla's Q1 deliveries significantly, production has certainly been affected, meaning Tesla will be working to make up for lost time throughout Q2 2022.
