The current gigafactory build-out should be able to produce at 35 GWh/year but is currently producing at 24 GWh/year.
It wouldn't be surprising if Panasonic halted expansion of the lines to concentrate efforts on fixing problems with current lines. But rather than admitting problems they tried to spin it with a weird press release.
Both statements can be true. Tesla is battery limited at 24 GWh/year, and Panasonic says they can meet current demands at 35 GWh/year.
