Tesla Resumes Germany Production After Houthi Attacks Cause Component Shortages
Tesla's production in Germany has faced a significant setback due to external factors. The electric vehicle manufacturer has had to halt and resume production at its Grünheide plant near Berlin, with recent attacks on ships in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen causing component shortages for car production.
Tesla's plant manager in the region, André Thierig, oversaw the production issues that led to a nearly two-week suspension of vehicle production. The attacks on ships forced cargo ships to change routes, leading to a scarcity of components needed for car production. Despite the challenges, Tesla has fully resumed production at the Grünheide plant, where over 12,500 people are employed. Before the disruption, the plant was producing over 6,000 cars per week. Initially, Tesla aimed to build 10,000 cars per week in Grünheide during the expansion phase. Production at the German plant began almost two years ago.
Tesla has successfully restarted production at its Grünheide plant after facing temporary disruptions due to global events. The plant, which employs thousands of people, is now back to producing over 6,000 cars per week. Despite the recent challenges, Tesla remains on track to meet its production targets at the German facility.
