Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory announces closure for 4 days, plans to resume production on Sunday

According to news from this website on May 8, Tesla announced that it will temporarily close the Berlin Gigafactory, but it is unclear whether this is a forced shutdown or a voluntary shutdown.

In the last quarter, Tesla's Gigafactory was once forced to close, one of the reasons was a so-called arson attack by environmentalists, and another was related to supply chain issues related to the Red Sea conflict. At present, Tesla seems to have no good solution to these problems.

Some analysts believe the shutdown would be beneficial to Tesla as it planned to reduce production capacity due to weak sales.

Tesla shares are quoted at US$177.81 per share, down approximately 3.76% compared to the previous day, but are still continuing to fall. The current market value is approximately US$557.162 billion.

German "Handelsblatt" said that environmental groups that have been protesting against Tesla's expansion of the Berlin Gigafactory will hold protests at the factory this week. In response, Tesla informed employees via email after Wednesday’s evening shift that they “should not come to work” until Sunday’s evening shift: After days of protests, the electric car maker will let all employees work from home. For car production line workers, Friday will be an unofficial day off.

Tesla said it has been working with local governments to deal with the situation, but it is unclear whether the closure of the factory is due to government concerns or Tesla's own decision to halt production.
