Tesla reported a significant negative free cash flow of $2.53 billion in the first quarter, contrary to the expected positive $653.6 million. This financial shortfall has been attributed to a decrease in production at Gigafactory Shanghai and disruptions at other facilities. The Fremont factory faced challenges due to the early phase of the production ramp of the updated Model 3, and the Gigafactory Berlin was impacted by shipping diversions related to the Red Sea conflict and an incident of arson.
