Tesla (TSLA, Financial) has paused its plan to transport parts for its Cybertruck and Semi electric vehicles from China to the U.S. due to increased tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. This move could potentially impact Tesla’s large-scale production plans for the vehicles. Initially, Tesla intended to start receiving Chinese components in the coming months to begin trial production in October, aiming for mass production next year.

The company was prepared to absorb additional costs under the original 34% tariff imposed by the U.S. on Chinese goods. However, with tariffs rising beyond this level, Tesla finds it financially unsustainable to continue shipments. It remains unclear how long this suspension will last. Despite this setback, Tesla has been increasing its procurement of parts from North America over the past two years.
