The coronavirus outbreak in China is having more of an impact on electric carmaker Tesla.
A Tesla official in China said Wednesday that deliveries of Model 3 cars built at the company’s Shanghai Gigafactory that had been scheduled for early February will be delayed due to the coronavirus situation in the country. According to CNBC, Tao Lin, vice president of Tesla in China, said the company will have to delay making vehicle deliveries and will “catch up the production line once the outbreak situation gets better.” CNBC said it translated Lin’s comments from a statement he made on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo.
