AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/28 Report--
Only ten days after resuming production, Tesla's Shanghai factory is once again facing a shutdown. Affected by Shanghai's epidemic prevention policy, Tesla will suspend production activities at his Shanghai factory for four days from today, Reuters reported. Workers and suppliers have been informed of the news.
Then the automobile industry noticed that not long after the news was released, the news of "Tesla's Shanghai factory was temporarily shut down" appeared on the Baidu entry.
In response to the above report, Tesla, a relevant responsible person in China, told Caijing Automobile: "Tesla has always adhered to the main responsibility of epidemic prevention, strictly implemented various epidemic prevention and control requirements, and arranged his work at any time in accordance with the government's epidemic prevention policy. Tesla believes that Shanghai's speed and strength, and today's anti-epidemic, is to lay the foundation for better and faster development. "
From 0 to 24:00 on March 27, 2022, there were 50 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 3450 cases of asymptomatic infection, according to the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission. On the evening of March 27th, the Office of the leading Group for COVID-19 epidemic Prevention and Control in Shanghai released news that nucleic acid screening has been carried out in batches in Shanghai since 5: 00 on March 28, with the Huangpu River as the boundary. The first batch of nucleic acid screening was carried out in key areas and adjacent areas, such as the Pudong New area to the east and south of the Huangpu River, which was unsealed at 5: 00 on April 1 and strictly sealed for four days. The Port Industrial Park in Shanghai Pudong New area, where Tesla's Shanghai factory is located, belongs to the scope of the first batch of nucleic acid screening and control management in Shanghai.
Materials show that Tesla Shanghai factory is located in Shanghai Lingang New District, covering an area of 860000 square meters, including vehicle production area, test area, parts production area and joint plant (maintenance workshop) four areas, the factory mainly produces sedan Model 3 and SUV Model Y two models, Tesla's total annual production capacity is expected to be 450000 vehicles in 2021. Relevant data show that in 2021, Tesla Shanghai factory delivered a total of 484000 new cars, accounting for 51.7% of Tesla's total global delivery, which is Tesla's first single market in the world. In terms of specific models, there are 169853 Model Y domestic retail vehicles and 150890 Model 3 domestic retail vehicles in 2021.
As Tesla's second overseas super factory, the operation of the factory is very important to Tesla. Tesla's Shanghai factory delivered a total of 56515 cars in February this year. Tesla's Shanghai factory delivers an average of about 2018 new cars per day (23200 domestically and the remaining 33315 for export). It is understood that the weekly production capacity of Tesla's Shanghai factory is about 17000 vehicles, with an average production capacity of 2500 new cars per day. This four-day shutdown is expected to reduce production by about 10, 000 new cars, which means that consumers who order Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y models will also be affected by this to extend the pick-up time.
In fact, also because of the requirements for epidemic prevention and control, Tesla's Shanghai factory stopped production for two consecutive days from March 16 to 17. At that time, the relevant responsible person of Tesla said that he would actively cooperate with the government's requirements for epidemic prevention, such as nucleic acid testing, and at the same time do his best to ensure production and overcome difficulties. Tesla's Shanghai plant resumed production on March 18, but Tesla did not explain the production losses caused by the two-day shutdown.
The auto industry is concerned that two consecutive stoppages within a month may lead to increased pressure on Tesla's production capacity, while the delivery time of the two domestic models is expected to be extended again. According to Tesla's Chinese website, Tesla China has extended the estimated delivery time of the domestic Model 3 from 16-20 weeks to 20-24 weeks, that is, it will take 4 months to mention the new car even if the order is placed now, while the estimated delivery time of the domestic Model Y remains unchanged at 10-14 weeks.
It is worth mentioning that Tesla Berlin Factory, Tesla's first electric car factory in Europe, officially entered mass production on the 22nd, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk also delivered the first batch of SUV models made in Berlin factory to users at the Berlin factory. It is understood that Tesla's Berlin factory mainly produces Model Y models, which is expected to employ 12000 people and produce 500000 vehicles a year after full production. However, due to the lack of pre-production capacity, the Shanghai factory still undertakes the production of exports to Europe in the second stage. Tesla Shanghai Factory is Tesla's first overseas super factory. At present, Tesla Shanghai Factory has also begun related expansion and renovation work, and it is expected that the expansion will increase to a capacity of more than 22000 vehicles a week and more than 1 million vehicles a year.
