Tesla (TSLA) denies reports of output cuts; replies 'false news'

Monday morning saw reports, citing people familiar with the matter, claiming that the electric vehicle giant, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) would be cutting production of the Model Y at the company’s shanghai location. However, the automaker has come out saying that the claims were “untrue”.

Reuters on Monday reported Model Y output at the plant was set to fall by more than 20% versus November citing two sources with knowledge of the electric vehicle (EV) giant's production plan. The output reduction was first reported by Bloomberg, which said the move was a reflection of sluggish demand.

Later on Monday, a Tesla representative replied, "false news," without elaborating.

Shares of TSLA are down 5.91% in mid-day trading on Monday.
