March 12, 2018—Tesla Inc temporarily suspended production of its Model 3 electric car from Feb. 20-24 for planned work to adjust equipment in order to improve automation and increase production rates, reported The Business Times.
Tesla said the planned pause was normal and common for increases in output when a company is ramping up a new product.
"Our Model 3 production plan includes periods of planned downtime in both Fremont and Gigafactory 1. These periods are used to improve automation and systematically address bottlenecks in order to increase production rates," a Tesla spokesman said.
Fremont, where the Teslas are built, is near San Jose, Calif. Their batteries are manufactured at the Gigafactory 1 in Sparks, near Reno, Nev.
The company did not provide specifics about the production upgrade, but it said there could be more periods of downtime in coming months.
