According to the report from 36kr, Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory plans to have a production capacity of 550,000 vehicles in 2021, among which 300,000 are Model 3 and 250,000 are Model Y. About 100,000 Model 3 will be exported, and there are also plans to export 10,000 Model Y.
Currently, the production capacity of Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory is around 150,000 vehicles, and the Phase 2 factory is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
This production capacity is really strong. The current production capacity is 150,000 vehicles per year with one shift and one production line. Next year, the production capacity of Model 3 will be directly increased to 300,000 vehicles. With the completion of the Phase 2 factory, the planned production capacity for next year has already been increased to 250,000 vehicles.
10,000 of the Model 3 will be exported overseas, and the Model 3 produced by the Shanghai factory has begun to be shipped to Europe.
From the current sales volume in Europe, there is no big problem in digesting 100,000 vehicles next year. However, Tesla’s Berlin plant in Germany will also be put into operation in the middle of next year. At that time, Tesla in Europe will be produced at the Berlin plant, and the 100,000 Model 3 are likely to be sold to Asia-Pacific region.
The remaining 200,000 Model 3 and 240,000 Model Y will be sold domestically in China.
If this goal is achieved, there will be 440,000 Teslas in China next year.
