Tesla resumes electric car production in Shanghai

US electric vehicle maker Tesla's Shanghai plant officially resumed production on Tuesday, the company said.

Due to the new COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory suspended production for more than 20 days on March 28.

Before that, the plant produced an average of 2.1 thousand electric vehicles per day. During the downtime, Tesla did not produce about 40 thousand cars.

Tesla's Shanghai facility produces Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles for both export and domestic markets.
