Tesla responds to the suspension of production at the Shanghai Super Factory during the Spring Festival: only one day longer than before and after the statutory holiday

According to media reports on December 28, an internal plan document shows that Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory will continue to produce for 17 days from January 3, 2023 to January 19, and then on January 20. The production of electric vehicles will be suspended until January 31, which is longer than the Lunar New Year holiday (January 21-27).

This means that the plant’s production reduction plan starting in December 2022 will be extended until 2023.

The relevant person in charge of Tesla China responded, “The reported Tesla holiday information is not accurate. In fact, most employees of the Shanghai Gigafactory will have a holiday on January 20-28, which will be different than before and after the legal holiday. One day is extended so that everyone can flexibly arrange the time to return home. Some employees have spent the holidays on the spot for the past two years, and have not been home for the New Year for several years. At the same time, some workshops still need to continue to operate at high speed during this period, and we have already prepared Make preparations.”
