Tesla to halt some China production for upgrades

Tesla Inc will suspend some production until the end of February as the electric-vehicle maker upgrades the facility to make a refreshed version of the Model 3 compact sedan, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday.

Tesla is developing a revamped version, codenamed “Highland”, of the Model 3, first launched in 2017, Reuters reported in November.

The Bloomberg report said that some workers will not be allowed on production lines from as soon as Sunday.

To spur demand, Tesla had cut prices globally in January, unleashing a price war.

Ford Motor Co reacted with its price cuts for its Mustang Mach-E and Lucid Group provided discounts for certain variants of the Air luxury sedan.
