According to foreign media reports, the first phase was completed and put into production at the end of 2019, and Model 3 production began. The second phase began construction the following year. After the Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory was put into production, it was used to produce Model Y. It has become their important export base. The Model 3 and Model Y produced are continuously exported to markets such as Europe. The refreshed Model 3, which was produced last year, has also been exported in large quantities since September.
Since transportation to markets such as Europe takes nearly a month, in order to increase quarterly delivery volume, domestically produced Teslas usually export a large amount in the first half of each quarter. The export volume in the second half will be reduced and more will be delivered to domestic users.
As the new quarter begins, it means that domestic Tesla will begin to export in large quantities again, and foreign media reports also show that Model 3 and Model Y produced by the Shanghai Gigafactory are also preparing to export in large quantities.
Based on a video released by an aerial photographer, foreign media reported that domestic Tesla is preparing to begin exporting in large quantities.
In the aerial video, foreign media discovered that a large number of Tesla electric vehicles ready for export have been parked at Shanghai Nangang Terminal, almost all of them on the pier.
Aerial photographers also predict that Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory’s export volume this year may be better than last year.
