Not sure about Tesla or automotive, but in electronics manufacturing a stop ship will usually stop the line shortly. Your inputs could be used elsewhere so you don’t want to build up unsellable WIP stock.
- judge2020 3y agoThey're likely continuing manufacturing for everything except for the part of the line where the interior drive controls are assembled, depending on how much stockpile space they have (which should be a lot with how big GF Texas is). If they already have a fix that they is just a modification they would continue full line manufacturing then stage the completed vehicles for when the modification is ready. Chances are they _really_ want to make a fix that can be done at service centers, so that they don't need to ship all the CT awaiting delivery back to the factory for the fix.
- AlexandrB 3y agoIn true automotive tradition I expect them to fix it with a blob of JB Weld to hold the pedal cover on.
- stetrain 3y agoTesla at least has in the past continued manufacturing vehicles knowing that they need rework or are missing a part, and will then do that work while they are sitting in the inventory lot or at the service center before delivery.
