SHANGHAI—Tesla is suspending production at its Shanghai factory for two days, according to a notice sent internally and to suppliers, as the Chinese regime tightens COVID-19 restrictions to curb the country’s latest outbreak.

The Shanghai factory runs around the clock, and suppliers and Tesla staff were told on Wednesday in the notice, reviewed by Reuters, that production would be suspended for Wednesday and Thursday.
