Tesla has announced a halt in production of the Cybertruck and Model Y for one week starting June 30. This decision is due to necessary maintenance at its factory in Austin, Texas.
Reasons for Production Halt
According to information gathered from staff, the halt will last one week and is related to maintenance work on production lines. This marks the third shutdown at the facility in the past year.
Implications for the Company
This production halt may affect the company's financial performance, especially given that Tesla already reported a 13% drop in delivery numbers in the first quarter compared to the previous year. The second-quarter results are expected to be announced in July.
Plans for Robotaxi Launch
Despite the production halt, Tesla plans to launch a robotaxi service in Austin on June 22. This service will utilize Model Y vehicles equipped with upgraded autonomous driving software. There are concerns about whether the vehicles used for robotaxi will be the same ones that are halting production.
Tesla continues to face challenges in its production process, yet it is preparing to introduce innovations such as robotaxis. The impact of these factors on the company's future will become clearer in the coming months.
