Tesla wants China staff to stay in factory bubble until mid-June


Thousands of the electric car maker’s workers have been sleeping on the floor of Tesla’s factory south of Shanghai doing 12-hour shifts, six days a week, to reboot production after a weeks-long pause because of the lockdown. Tesla wants to move those workers into a dormitory and keep them in a form of closed loop until June 13 at this stage, the people said, declining to be identified because the plans are private. — Reuters

Tesla Inc plans to keep employees at its Shanghai factory working in a so-called closed loop system – where staff are ferried to and from work and tested for Covid-19 regularly – until mid-June, people familiar with the matter said, even as Chinese authorities move to ease wider lockdown restrictions in the city.
