The Shanghai plant of the global leader in the electric car industry, Tesla, did not reopen as scheduled on May 6 after the May 1 Labor Day Holiday in mainland China, raising concerns.
Tesla’s headquarters is located in Los Angeles and the plant in Shanghai joined its production line in 2019. The temporary shutdown was confirmed by an employee of the Tesla plant who said that it was due to the impact of the pandemic. According to Chinese media, the shutdown of the plant in Shanghai was a result of a “component shortage” from overseas.

In response to this, a Tesla China official released a statement: “Tesla Shanghai is adjusting to normal production due to test run[s] and maintenance of production lines that were carried out during the recent holidays,” and “all work is being executed according to plan.”

Mr. Zhang, an employee at the Tesla plant confirmed to NTD that the shutdown is due to the impact of the pandemic.

Journalist: “Why did Tesla not open for work as scheduled? Is it because of the pandemic?”

Mr. Zhang: “Yes.”

Journalist: “When will the plant open for work then?”

Mr. Zhang: “We don’t know.”

A customer service agent for Tesla, on the other hand, indicated that they do not have any information on the factory.

Customer service agent: “We do not have any information concerning the shutdown or the reopening. You need to refer back to our official website.”

According to Auto Annual Ring’s report, the localization rate of Tesla ’s Shanghai plant was about 30% and highly relies on the overseas supply chain. As the pandemic continues to worsen in the U.S., not only did Tesla discontinue its production but Ford, GM, Fiat, Chrysler, and other North American plants have also shut down temporarily.

In addition, the Detroit Auto Show announced its cancellation and the supply chain of auto parts has been hit hard as well. For instance, many internationally renowned auto parts suppliers such as Bosch, Aisin, ZF, and others have different degrees of production shutdowns.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) announced that N-95 masks produced by Chinese car manufacturer BYD failed to pass an inspection, and that BYD has been denied approval. The decision will have a significant impact on BYD’s $1 billion mask deal with the state of California. The federal regulator said after an investigation that BYD’s factories in Shenzhen and Changsha, China, were in “not acceptable” states, and declined to give specific reasons as to why the masks were denied approval.

In early April, California Governor Gavin Newsom placed a $1 billion mask order with BYD, demanding a monthly supply of 150 million N95 masks and 50 million medical masks, with a deposit of nearly $500 million. The deal has raised substantial concerns with the public. The company must return nearly $250 million to California, since delays in getting federal certification prevented it from providing the N95 masks on time.

So far, the FDA has revoked authorization for more than 60 Chinese mask manufacturers. Only 14 remaining Chinese companies are still allowed to export masks to the United States.

When the CCP’s annual political meetings began on May 21 in Beijing, a delegate drove his sedan into the bike lane and almost knocked down a cyclist.

Feeling scared and offended, the cyclist demanded traffic police check the delegate’s ID, but the traffic police claimed that delegates have special privileges during the meeting period.
–
Cyclist: He said this is a bus stop, so he can cross a solid line here.

Traffic Police: He has special privileges during this period of time.

Cyclist: No way. They are public servants, the servants to the people.

Traffic Police: Don’t yell at me. I am not the one at odds with you.

Cyclist: He has no excuse. Fine him. I am yelling at him. Fine him.

Traffic Police: Stop yelling.

Cyclist: I am yelling at him. Fine him. Remember, you are the servant. You are a delegate, but that does not give you the right to drive into the bike lane. Why do you think you have privileges?

Delegate: I didn’t say I did.

Cyclist: In broad daylight, on Beijing’s Chang’an Avenue, you claim that you have privileges. I just don’t believe that you can have such privileges!

Traffic police: Calm down.

Cyclist: He drove into the bike lane when I was riding my bike here.

Traffic Police: Listen to me. I took down his license number and vehicle registration number.

Cyclist: I told you several times that you must punish him. Check his driver’s license, check to see if he is a drunk driver!

Traffic Police: We are following the regular procedure. We will investigate him later.

Cyclist: Why later? Do it now!

Traffic Police: Wait until we report it to the Organizing Committee (of the meeting).

Cyclist: No need to involve the Organizing Committee. Today is the first day of the Two Sessions meeting. On such a major thoroughfare, he crossed the solid line and drove into the bike line, and you are telling me he has special privileges! Does he have a driver’s license at all?

Traffic Police: I took down the license plate number.

Cyclist: I am talking about driver’s license! Can you check it, and check if he is drunk?

Traffic Police: Please show your driver’s license to him.

Cyclist: I am asking you to check it.

Traffic Police: It is you who requested to check it.

Cyclist: You check it. He has violated the law.

Traffic Police: If he violated the law, the Organizing Committee will handle his case.

Cyclist: You are the traffic police. It is not the business of the Organizing Committee.

Traffic Police: Now it is time for the Two Sessions meeting. Let him go to the meetings first. We will report the case to the Organizing Committee.

Cyclist: He is driving a Hongqi [sedan], I certainly know he is a delegate of the Two Sessions! What a shame that he is driving a Hongqi and driving into the bike lane on Chang’an Avenue during the two sessions!

Your car brushed around me and scared me! Don’t you know?

Traffic Police: Did his car literally brush around you?

Cyclist: Not really, but how could I expect to encounter a sedan in a bike lane?

Traffic Police: Which meeting are you going to this morning?

Cyclist: What are you doing? Can’t you just discipline him? Moreover, he made a left turn when he was at the right lane! What are you doing now?

Traffic Police: You are on your way to the meetings, right?
