Even real car companies need a breather now and then.

After working around the clock for weeks on end to surpass a production goal, Tesla Inc. is pausing some Model 3 production this week, according to people familiar with the matter. The break will let the company do basic upkeep and maintenance, and workers will get to enjoy hot dogs and fireworks with their families on July 4.
