According to officials from Shanghai, Tesla’s factory, despite still working a single shift, has already reached 45% of its production capacity. Shanghai has been in a COVID lockdown for a while now with manufacturers and component suppliers suffering prolonged delays. Tesla has over 100 component suppliers in Shanghai and all of them were either closed down or had their capacity limited during the lockdown which started on March 28.

Giga Shanghai officially reopened on April 19 but only with about 8,000 people returning to work in a single shift. For comparison before the lockdown the factory operated a 3 shift production line with nearly 20,000 employees.

The factory is planning to bring two shifts from next week providing all the suppliers are working at full speed as well. Tesla wants to have 2,600 cars leaving the factory from May 23 which is double the current production levels.

All the cars manufactured in Shanghai at the moment are destined for Europe, one shipment of 4,767 vehicles is already on the way to Slovenia with another 4,000 cars being prepared for export.

That leaves Chinese customers facing longer waiting times unfortunately and it won’t help Tesla with the sales numbers - with only 10,757 vehicles manufactured in April the numbers of waiting customers are only growing.
