Yes, the tour guide did say that the early shift was having their brake. We saw a lot of people eating in the cafetaria, or hanging around (which ofcourse they are allowed to do during their well deserved break).
Many robots - at least 80% - were idle with the supervising stations unmanned, and final assembly had come to a complete stop with nobody working on dozens of Model S and Model X.
By the way, what the factory temporay lacked in activity was compensated by the enthusiasm of our tour guide. She - a Model S owner herself - must have done the tour hundreds of times already, but there was not the least bit of fatigue in het enthusiasm!
