The first goal of the Shanghai Gigazo plant is to start rolling 3,000 units a week.

 

Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai already produces. At the moment, the plant is working on one shift, but plans are to switch two shifts a day. At that point, Tesla boasted that 280 cars were produced in 10 working hours, making 1,400 units a week (5 days a week) from Model 3.

The first pieces of the model were handed over to workers at the plant this Monday, and deliveries to regular customers will begin by the end of the month.

At present, about 30% of the components are manufactured in Shanghai Model 3 for domestic production, and by mid-year this percentage should reach 70. Model 3 is expected to be 100% manufactured in China by the end of the year. .

Tesla's plans are to make 250,000 cars a year in Shanghai, and when the full capacity of the plant is reached, the figure should double to 500,000.

Similar plans are in place for Gigafactory 4 in Germany, which will spread over an area of 741 acres. At full capacity (does not indicate which year), on three shifts and 4,000 workers, the annual capacity should reach 750,000. On this basis, we should expect that by the end of this year and the end of Berlin, Model 3 production could start.

At the same time, Model 3 shipments in Europe are gaining momentum. The latest example of this comes from the Netherlands (as it became clear the name Netherlands will no longer be used). In December alone, 11,563 Model 3 units were sold in the country (deliveries also crossed the 10,000 mark in September). The second best-selling car of the month is the Audi e-tron with 2,690 units.
