Tesla Inc.’s China factory is experiencing some disruptions and may see more curbs to production this week as Shanghai’s long-running Covid-19 lockdown continues to impact supply chains.
The U.S. carmaker is having some issues with logistics, a spokesman for its China operations said Tuesday. Reuters reported earlier that output at the plant south of Shanghai had been halted, prompting Tesla to say it had received no notice the factory had ceased to operate and that some cars were still being made there.
