Tesla’s (TSLA) plans to ship parts from China for the Cybercab and Semi electric trucks in the U.S. were suspended after President Donald Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods, Reuters reports, citing a person with direct knowledge. The move may disrupt the company’s plans to begin mass production of the models. Tesla was prepared to absorb the costs when Trump imposed the 34% tariff on Chinese goods but could not do so when the tariffs were increased, leaving shipping plans suspended, the person told Reuters.
