Shanghai Is set to “reopen*” for may 2. Case count has been declining in the city of 26M in which Tesla operates. Fabs were restarted before Tesla resumed production in Shanghai. Key suppliers were identified by Tesla and information sent to the CCP/companies
Beijing now the locus of new lockdown activity. In my opinion, this is the make or break point for the entire country’s covid policy. Beijing culture is (this is a terrible analogy but the best I have) closer to NYC culture than anything else I know. I personally love it, because I’m a rowdy arrogant urban-city-dweller. Beijingers will not be afraid to speak their minds.
Ignore most of the dumb pics you see on social media about ships being stuck offshore of China and zoom out. At the same time, consider the that the lockdowns are real and quite extreme.
I have no direct contacts at the Tesla, Shanghai factory, but I haven’t heard that they’ve stopped production due to parts shortages. So that’s positive.
*reopen seems to be with new guidelines for businesses?
