Tesla is expected to ramp up production in the next three to four days in order to reach 100% output on single shifts, according to a production manager. Currently, the most effective assembly line was the one located in the second phase of the Tesla Shanghai project, which was able to complete ninety models per hour.
The company also said that there was about a week’s inventory for auto parts. And they were actively facilitating the suppliers to recover production and smoothing the logistics with the help of the Shanghai Government.
