A Tesla spokesperson told Bloomberg that Giga Shanghai has not halted production.

People familiar with the matter informed Reuters that Tesla suppliers have recently faced supply issues, prompting the publication to claim that Giga Shanghai production halted.

However, the Tesla spokesperson did confirm that Tesla China was experiencing some disruption and logistics issues due to COVID-19 lockdowns. For instance, wire harness maker Aptiv stopped shipping supplies to Tesla and General Motors after a few employees were infected with the virus.

Shanghai has strict rules to contain COVID-19 breakouts. The major city in China issued digital pass cards to workers in the area to track infections. The cards include information about the workers’ identities, the companies they work for, negative nucleic acid test results, and the shuttle buses transporting them to work.

China created a whitelist to support companies resuming production and minimize the impact of COVID on the supply chain. On April 30, approximately 1854 companies made it onto the whitelist, including Tesla. All the companies on the list were authorized to resume work.

Gigafactory Shanghai plans to ramp vehicle production output starting May 16. According to an internal memo, Tesla China aims to add a second shift to Giga Shanghai, increasing the factory’s output to about 2600 vehicles per day. Tesla Giga Shanghai has been operating with only one shift thus far. However, supply chain issues may prevent Tesla China from reaching its goals.

My Take: As far as I can tell, Giga Shanghai production is still moving forward.
