China slowed down for the Chinese New Year (January 25) and family reunions, also the production of Model 3 at the Tesla Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai has temporarily stopped.
In Jason Yang's video, we can see that the site (as of January 23) was hibernated and there is just a handful of new Made-in-China (MIC) Model 3 waiting for the delivery.
The second part of the video shows a local experience store, without visitors at this special time.
Video Description via Jason Yang on YouTube:
