As you may know, Tesla's factory in China – Giga Shanghai – recently faced a shutdown due to COVID-19 restrictions. The factory had to remain closed for about three weeks, during which it lost a healthy chunk of production. However, a few weeks ago, on April 19, the factory reopened under specific circumstances. Now, Tesla China is already sending nearly 5,000 vehicles out for export.
When the Tesla factory in China reopened, employees had to stay at the factory, eating and sleeping there. In addition, Tesla was only running one long shift instead of the usual three shifts. Obviously, production would get off to a slow but healthy start. Since then, it has been reported that Giga Shanghai is ramping up rather quickly.
