Tesla Gets 8,000 Workers Back at Shanghai Plant, Report Says

Tesla Inc. has gotten 8,000 employees back at a plant in Shanghai that was closed for about three weeks due to a Covid outbreak, according to a local media report, as the company slowly ramps up production at its first factory outside the U.S.

“We will take the next three to four days to ramp up our production,” Song Gang, senior director of manufacturing at the plant, told Kankanews, a state media outlet in Shanghai. The goal is to have one shift working at full capacity per day, he said.
