Tesla Slows China Production
Key points:
- Tesla now operates five days a week in China
- Production of Model Y SUV and Model 3 sedan affected
Tesla has adjusted its production schedule at its plant in China due to a slowdown in electric vehicle sales. The company is now operating five days a week instead of the usual 6-1/2 days. This change impacts the production of both the Model Y SUV and Model 3 sedan.
The production lines, which typically run on two 11.5 hour shifts per day, have seen a reduction in their output. However, the company has not provided its staff with a clear timeline of when production will return to its regular schedule.
This adjustment in production comes amidst increasing competition in the Chinese auto market for Tesla.
