Tesla's Shanghai factory has started production of Model Y and will start delivery in one month

Recently, foreign media revealed that according to images taken by drones, Tesla's Super Factory in Shanghai has begun producing domestically produced Model Y.

The Shanghai Super Factory is Tesla's first overseas factory. It only took one year from construction to formal production. Under ideal conditions, the factory's annual production capacity will reach 500,000 vehicles.

However, since the initial production capacity was not high, in order to maximize market share, the factory has mainly invested its production capacity in Model 3 over the past year.

Tesla's third-quarter 2020 financial report shows that the annual production capacity of Model 3 at the Shanghai Super Factory has increased to a maximum of 250,000 vehicles. For this reason, Tesla has begun to look for new growth points and plans to fully utilize its production capacity in 2021, producing the Model Y.

Previously, Tesla has completed the construction of the Model Y factory, and it is foreseeable that the Model Y is ready for production. According to people familiar with the matter, since there are only a few weeks left, Tesla does not plan to deliver the Model Y in 2020, but plans to deliver the car in the first quarter of 2021, which is one month later. However, people familiar with the matter also said that considering the pressure at the supply chain level, "Model Y may also be delivered later."
