The Tesla Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai was built in a hurry, but because of the coronavirus, it's now offline, just like reportedly most of the other plants in China.

"Tesla last week said it expected a delay of up to a week and a half in the ramp-up of Model 3 production at the Shanghai plant after the Chinese government ordered it to shut the factory due to the outbreak.

The coronavirus outbreak has disrupted business across China, with the government there saying that the death toll had reached 490 as of Tuesday, up 65 from the previous day."

We can see the empty factory in the latest drone video, recorded by 乌瓦, which says that the plant should restart on February 10.

Affected by the Wuhan epidemic, the Chinese government extended the Spring Festival holiday and delayed work to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Tesla Shanghai Super Factory is expected to work on February 10. The Tesla factory heading to Lingang, Shanghai this time is much quieter than before the Spring Festival. What we saw was just a few green melon farmers outside the fence outside the factory. As I was about to finish this shoot, I saw only three buses leaving the factory, and they were probably on duty employees. The weather was very cold, and the gatekeeper stood guarding the world factory in the cold wind, waiting for its start.
