SHANGHAI: Tesla Inc is calling back its workers in Shanghai to prepare for the initial resumption of production as soon as this week, after a weeks-long suspension because of the city’s strict lockdown to contain the Covid outbreak, according to sources.
The electric vehicle pioneer told some employees last Friday to enter a so-called “closed-loop” production system on April 17, whereby workers live on-site and are tested regularly, according to the sources.
