Tesla to halt production in Germany on supply chain disruption due to Red Sea attacks
ANKARA (AA) – Electric carmaker Tesla has said it will halt production at its facility in Germany for two weeks, citing supply chain disruptions due to the Red Sea shipping attacks.
“Due to a lack of components, we are therefore forced to suspend vehicle production at GigaBerlin for the period between January 29 and February 11, with the exception of a few subsections,” Tesla said in a statement.
It plans to resume production on February 12, the statement added.
Yemen’s Houthis’ attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea in retaliation to Israel’s brutal war on Gaza have forced logistics firms to use alternative routes, raising shipping rates and delaying deliveries.
Houthis have targeted Israel-bound vessels in the Red Sea, which accounts for nearly 12% of global seaborne trade traffic.
The Houthis have carried out 27 attacks in the Red Sea since November 19.
