The work resumption rate of Tesla's Shanghai plant has exceeded 90%, and its production capacity has exceeded the pre-epidemic level, the Shanghai Securities News quoted a person familiar with the matter as saying on Friday.

When Tesla had to close other super factories, its Gigafactory in Shanghai produced 3,000 electric cars per week.

Tesla said on Weibo today that it will continue to provide free supercharging services to Hubei so that car owners can complete efficient energy replenishment when needed.

Tesla said today that as the new coronavirus epidemic gradually improves in China, Tesla's free supercharge service launched during the epidemic is expected to end at 24:00 on March 31.

The number of Tesla's new car registrations in China in February fell by 35% to 2,314, most of which were Chinese-made Model 3, according to data from China Automotive Information Net.

A few days ago, some car owners revealed on the Internet that their China-made Model 3 car computers used older chips.

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, sent an email to all SpaceX employees on Friday saying that the risk of death from a car accident is much greater than that of the new coronavirus.

Thomas Ulbrich, a Volkswagen board member in charge of the electric vehicle business, said on Thursday that Tesla, a U.S. electric vehicle maker, is 10 years ahead of competitors in manufacturing electric vehicles and developing software.

Tesla will probably sell about 10% fewer cars this year than previously expected because the coronavirus outbreak weighs on demand for vehicles, Morgan Stanley said in a note on Thursday.

Although Tesla's technology is commendable, the manufacturing process is not commendable, and Business Insider cited some Tesla employees (including those who have left and are still working titles).
