Tesla's Berlin factory resumes full production
On February 12 local time, Tesla's Berlin factory has resumed full production as planned. Earlier, the blockade of the Red Sea-Maned Strait frontline by Houthi forces caused shipping between Asia and Europe to bypass the Suez Canal and instead take the Cape of Good Hope route. As Tesla's production in the Berlin factory relies on components and batteries from China, it was also affected and had to be shut down for two weeks. Earlier, according to Reuters, the weekly production capacity of the Berlin factory had risen to 6,000 vehicles, so the production interruption this time caused a potential loss of about 12,000 vehicles.
