Tesla Inc. plans to suspend part of the lines manufacturing its recently refreshed Model Y sport utility vehicle in Shanghai for around three weeks over Chinese New Year so it can better optimize equipment,

Several sources claim that Tesla has already built the first new Model Y at its Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany. According to German media outlet Handelsblatt, the company was scheduled to start producing the new car, also known by its codename "Juniper", on Tuesday.

A new report states that Tesla will pause part of new Model Y production at Gigafactory Shanghai for 3 weeks to upgrade the lines. The shutdown will extend beyond the regular Chinese New Year.

The Juniper facelift for Tesla’s midsize crossover will take some time to appear in all regions, and the US is not at the head of the line.
