Tesla’s China Factory Roars Back With Output Tripling

(Bloomberg) — Tesla Inc. staged a remarkable production rebound in China as May output more than tripled even though the electric-car maker only recently got its Shanghai factory back up to speed following the city’s Covid lockdowns.

The U.S.-based electric vehicle giant produced 33,544 cars at its Shanghai plant last month, up from 10,757 in April, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) reported Thursday. Shipments totaled 32,165 units, including 22,340 cars exported to Europe and the rest of Asia and 9,825 sold to domestic buyers.
