特斯拉加州厂通知部分员工 29 日报到 准备下月复工
网易科技讯 4 月 26 日消息,据外媒报道,电动汽车制造商特斯拉已经对美国加州弗里蒙特汽车工厂部分员工发出通知,要求他们在 4 月 29 日返回工厂报到,为 5 月份复工复产做准备。
特斯拉工厂的高管称,负责喷漆和冲压作业的员工要在最后期限前返厂报到。他们要求员工们给出回复,并说明自己是否计划返岗。特斯拉的代表没有立即回复记者的置评请求。
特斯拉此前曾通知员工,预计其美国工厂将于 5 月 4 日恢复正常生产,也就是旧金山湾区的「就地避难」禁令到期第二天。上个月,特斯拉曾就该公司业务是否属于「必要业务」、在疫情期间继续保持运营与当地官员发生争执。
弗里蒙特工厂目前生产特斯拉推出的各款车型,包括 Model Y、Model 3、Model X 以及 Model S,该厂在 3 月 23 日关闭。瑞士信贷 (Credit Suisse) 的分析师估计,该工厂关闭期间每周消耗的现金约为 3 亿美元。
关于汽车公司何时才能安全地重新开工,行业内部存在巨大争议。虽然包括大众、丰田以及现代在内的汽车制造商都表示打算在下月初恢复运营,但全美汽车工人联合会认为,对于为通用、福特和其他制造商来说,5 月初复工为时过早,风险太大。(小小)
Netease technology news on April 26, according to foreign media reports, Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer, has sent a notice to some employees of the Fremont automobile factory in California, USA, asking them to return to the factory on April 29 to report to prepare for the resumption of production in May.
Executives at Tesla’s plant say employees responsible for painting and stamping are expected to report back before the deadline. They asked for a response and whether they planned to return. Tesla representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Tesla has previously informed employees that it expects its U.S. plant to resume normal production on May 4, the day after the San Francisco Bay Area’s “asylum in place” ban expires. Last month, Tesla argued with local officials about whether the company’s business was a “necessary business” and continued to operate during the outbreak.
The Fremont plant, which currently produces Tesla models including model y, model 3, model X and model s, closed on March 23. Analysts at Credit Suisse estimate that the plant consumed about $300 million a week in cash during its closure.
There is a huge dispute within the industry about when the auto companies can safely restart. Although automakers, including Volkswagen, Toyota and Hyundai, have said they plan to resume operations early next month, the UAW believes it is too early and risky for GM, Ford and other manufacturers to return to work in early May.
