Tesla will suspend production of these electric cars
Tesla in the United States, one of the world’s leading automakers, has said it will suspend production of two of its electric cars. Workers on the two suspended lines will benefit from paid leave and will have various opportunities. The suspension will be for only 18 days.
Tesla will suspend production for its Model S and Model X electric cars for 18 days starting December 24, according to CNBC. It was not clear what Tesla would use the two production lines during the suspension, but the workers at those suspended production lines would apparently benefit from a week of pay, paid leave and the opportunity to work in other teams. within the company.
Workers can also volunteer to deliver electric cars to customers while production is suspended. Edward Niedermeyer, an automotive industry analyst, said Tesla wanted tax breaks in 2015 in California for the equipment needed to build 195,000 Model S and Model X electric cars by 2021.
The company said at the time that it would expand its production capacity to California, anticipating that it would produce an additional 118,000 Model S and Model X cars a year, in addition to the projected annual rate of approximately 77,000 Model S and X electric cars.
In the third quarter of 2020, Tesla produced 145,000 electric cars and delivered 139,000. Of that number, Tesla produced less than 17,000 Model S and X cars.
Tesla is building its next plant in Austin, Texas, and CEO Elon Musk has revealed it could move all of California’s production. He has confirmed that he has moved his personal residence from California to Texas, and some say that this will save Elon Musk millions of dollars in taxes.
