Tesla makes its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles at Giga Shanghai, a majority of which are exported.

China has been witnessing a sudden rise in COVID-19 cases, logging 3,387 cases on Tuesday alone, compared with 102 a month earlier. This has led to the country's government imposing restrictions to curb the spread of the virus, which is impacting production across industries.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) supplier Foxconn also halted the production of iPhones at its Shenzhen factory earlier this week.

Price Action: Tesla shares closed 4.6% higher at $801.89 on Tuesday.
