Tesla Inc. extended the suspension of production at its Shanghai factory by at least a day, according to people familiar with the matter, amid uncertainty over the city’s pandemic lockdown and ongoing Covid-19 outbreak.
The suspension at the automaker’s Gigafactory, which started Monday when the financial hub went into a phased lockdown, will run through at least Friday, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak publicly. Previously, workers were told production would likely resume on Friday, when the first phase of the lockdown was supposed to end.
