You’d have to think the odds of that happening are pretty high.
Then again Elon might channel Trump - don’t test anyone on site and then there’s no virus.
I read somewhere that the workers had completed a 14 day quarantine before being cleared to enter the loop and were all PCR tested during and at the end of their quarantine. Can't remember where though. They all require regular testing while onsite by authorities rather than Tesla - that was in one of the articles i posted recently. Said authorities have set up a popup testing station at the factory to test the 8000 workers in line with the rest of the Shanghai population.
Well they've only got a week's worth of parts, so they'll likely won't get many cars made:
driveteslacanada.ca
"Currently, Tesla China has enough parts for about a week of production. However, they are now pushing more than 100 suppliers to return to work to ensure production can continue"
Giga Shanghai is back up and running with 8,000 employees
According to Song Gang, Senior Director of Manufacturing, Tesla's Giga Shanghai is operating with 8,000 employees.

They are likely confident they can source those components. They wouldn't bother getting 8000 workers to sleep onsite while paying salary, plus stipend, plus catering, plus a bunch of other expenses if they predicted a risk of production faultering within a week. Them not restarting production a few times over the last few weeks because they couldn't make it work (while other businesses operated a closed loop) is an example of them operating based on risk.Well they've only got a week's worth of parts, so they'll likely won't get many cars made:

If the cars get built in the coming weeks the next challenge will be the port, the number of ships waiting outside Shanghai to get into the port is another bottleneck that they'll have to clear.

California ports brace for supply-chain ‘hiccups’ from Shanghai lockdowns
If China’s disruptive lockdowns persist, they could fuel global inflation, slow the pace of exports shipped from the ‘world’s factory’, and weaken demand in the world’s largest consumer market, economists say.

That helps but as we’ve seen these kinds of measures are not foolproof, otherwise the 2-week hard lockdown in Shanghai would have been sufficient to stop the spread. With the earlier variants it probably would have been sufficient, but with a variant as transmissable as Omicron, even the small number of people allowed out including official personnel is enough to keep it spreading. People can have caught the virus within the previous few hours at the end of their quarantine, or even while getting tested, test negative, and then spread it before they have any symptoms or are tested again.
Cheer up, everyone. We'll get there. Musk, Tesla and Spacex got a viable EV into production against the odds and pulled in front of a gigantic, entrenched and savagely aggressive fossil fuels industry, weathered a semi conductor crisis through their own invention, globally rolled out charging infrastructure, created actual reusable rockets and a frigging starship. The complexity of operating in a lockdown is something they of all organisations can probably handle. And likely know a lot more about than us.

No update on the Armacup schedule yet.
Tesla operates from Luchao port which isn't a container port or located within the Shanghai container port. They drive the cars into the ship and the moorings are scheduled.If the cars get built in the coming weeks the next challenge will be the port, the number of ships waiting outside Shanghai to get into the port is another bottleneck that they'll have to clear.

Hmm it's interesting as I ordered mine in 21 Dec. Got a VIN. Then in early March I got notification to book delivery at then end of March then 2 days before the delivery date they rang up and said the delivery is delayed as some error came up when the car left the NSW port. Since then the delivery date was changed 3 times. The update today is no ETA as they are waiting for part. The annoying thing is when the delivery date was first book for end of March, they let Macquarie know about delivery and never bothered to let them know about the delay so now they got the full payment and I haven't got the car. I suspect that they wanted to close the 1st quarter sales reporting and did that intentionally to get the money.
Vietnamese Vinfast startup car company sells their electric cars without battery and instead they use battery hiring model where customers pay monthly battery hiring fee plus charging fee if they use Vinfast fast charger. Just a different business model.Like not including batteries in a Xmas gift for the kids.
It doesn't matter if they got the money or not, it's not accounted as a sale until it's been signed over into your possession. The money is a liability on their books until that happens.
Sounds like a part was found faulty in pre-delivery inspection and they've had to order one in to replace it, which is a bit poor but better than being delivered a faulty car, I suppose.
Starting the loan early isn't so bad if you can afford the payments, you'll be locked in at the old lower interest rate.

No-one knows - not even Tesla. Bad corporate communications. Or excellent attention grabbing.
Lots of existing threads about tinting including this one specifically for Brisbane QLD.
