Most of these factories have been closed since March in compliance with local COVID-19 lockdown orders. Volkswagen said its plants in Shanghai and Jilin have been closed for weeks and it is "assessing the situation on a day-to-day basis." Toyota said its Jilin factory had not made anything for a month. (Jilin entered lockdown in early March.) In Shanghai, Tesla's Giga3 has at least 30,000 electric vehicles ahead of schedule. Its Chinese EV competitors, Nio, Xpeng and Li Auto, have also halted production.
