Tesla Production in Europe Upended by Red Sea Conflict

BERLIN—Tesla plans to halt production at its biggest factory in Europe for two weeks as the conflict in the Red Sea continues to disrupt transport ships, raising the specter of a new supply-chain crisis for European manufacturers dependent on parts from China and other Asian countries.

Tesla said in a statement Friday that it would stop nearly all production at its factory near Berlin from Jan. 29 to Feb. 12 because of a lack of components.
