Tesla stops production! Red Sea Crisis Leads to Shortage of Parts 

Tesla recently announced that the Berlin super factory in Germany will suspend most of its automobile production from January 29 to February 11 because of the shortage of spare parts due to the Red Sea crisis. The factory will resume production on February 12. However, the company did not respond to the details of the shortage of spare parts or how to resume production.

"The armed conflict in the Red Sea and related changes in transportation routes between Europe and Asia around the Cape of Good Hope have had an impact on the production work at the Glenhead plant," Tesla said. The extended transportation time has caused a gap in the supply chain. "The disruption of production at the factory has brought more pressure to Tesla.

Volvo Cars said it would suspend production at its plant in Ghent, Belgium, for three days due to supply chain delays caused by the Red Sea situation, following Tesla's announcement that most of its car production work was suspended at its Berlin plant, Reuters reported.

It is the second company after Tesla to disclose disruptions in production due to the Red Sea clash. A company spokesman said car deliveries, production targets and another European plant in Gothenburg, Sweden, were not affected by the production suspension.

Tesla became the first company to halt production following recent attacks on ships in the Red Sea by Yemeni Houthi forces. The shutdown shows that the crisis has hit Germany. Other companies, such as Geely and IKEA of Sweden, have also announced delays in deliveries. 

特斯拉停产！红海危机导致零部件短缺

       特斯拉近日宣布，德国柏林超级工厂将在1月29日至2月11日期间暂停大部分汽车生产工作，因为红海危机导致零部件供应短缺。工厂将于2月12日全面恢复生产。但公司未回应零部件短缺的细节问题，也未回应将如何恢复生产。

       特斯拉表示：“红海的武装冲突以及欧洲和亚洲之间运输路线绕行好望角的相关变化，对格伦海德工厂的生产工作产生了影响。”运输时间延长导致供应链缺口。”此次工厂中断生产给特斯拉带来了更多压力。

       据路透社报道，继特斯拉宣布柏林工厂暂停大部分汽车生产工作后，沃尔沃汽车表示，由于红海局势造成的供应链延误，该公司位于比利时根特的工厂将暂停生产三天。

       这是继特斯拉之后第二家披露因红海冲突而中断生产的公司。公司发言人表示，汽车交付、生产目标和位于瑞典哥德堡的另一家欧洲工厂都没有受到生产暂停的影响。

       近期，也门胡塞武装在红海袭击过往船只，引发了红海航道危机。特斯拉成为首家因此事中断生产的公司。此次停产显示了这场危机已经冲击到德国。其他公司如吉利和瑞典宜家也宣告交货将延迟。
