As reported by Bloomberg, Tesla has informed its Shanghai Gigafactory employees that they will now have a five-day workweek instead of the usual 6.5 days. This factory is responsible for producing the Model 3 and Y. However, there have been no changes made to the plant’s schedule of two 11.5-hour shifts per day.

Restrictions on production, specifically in battery workshops, may be in effect for a prolonged duration. Sources familiar with the matter anticipate these production constraints to continue until April.
