Tesla says it is shelving plans for a second assembly line at its Shanghai Gigafactory as the electric vehicle manufacturer struggles with increased demand and growing domestic competition, according to reports.
The company told the South China Morning Post it does not expect to increase volume in the near term since its Shanghai factory has been successfully running near full capacity for several months.

The comments came after reports earlier this month that Tesla put plans for another assembly line on hold after it failed to receive approval from Chinese authorities.
Despite these challenges, Tesla on Wednesday posted record net income in the fourth quarter of last year, earning around $3.69 billion from October through December, or an adjusted $1.19 per share – beating estimates of $1.13 that had been reduced by analysts.

CEO Elon Musk said that despite price cuts of up to 20% on some of its vehicles announced earlier this month, demand for Tesla products is strong and sales are constrained by production.
Some analysts have said the price cuts were a sign Tesla’s sales are softening. But so far in January, Tesla has seen the strongest orders year-to-date in its history, Musk said on a webcast with analysts Wednesday.

"We think demand will be good despite probably a contraction in the automotive market as a whole," Musk said. "Demand far exceeds production."
