Tesla reopened its Fremont, California-based factory after a long fight with the local authorities as sheltering-at-home rules were in place in May.

Tesla posted a surprise profit of $16 million in the first quarter of 2020 despite temporary disruptions in productions due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Tesla's revenue in Q1 2020 reached $5.9 billion, an increase of nearly $1.5 billion a year ago.

The company ended the quarter with $8.1 billion of cash.

Tesla said the volume growth in the Gigafactory Shanghai led to a material improvement in margins of locally made Model 3 vehicles.
