The reason for the measure is the lack of components due to changes in transport routes due to the conflict in the Red Sea. Production is scheduled to fully resume from February 12th.
Tesla will have to halt much of its vehicle production at the Grünheide factory in the German state of Brandenburg for two weeks. The reason for the measure was the lack of components due to changes in transport routes due to the armed conflict in the Red Sea, the electric car manufacturer announced on Thursday night.
“Armed conflicts in the Red Sea and associated changes in transport routes between Europe and Asia via the Cape of Good Hope also affect production in Grünheide. The significantly longer transportation times create a gap in supply chains.”
Tesla was therefore forced to suspend vehicle production at the Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg between January 29 and February 11, with the exception of some areas. Production is expected to fully resume from February 12th. (APA/Portal)
