The manufacturing ramp of the facelifted Tesla Mannequin 3 at Gigafactory Shanghai seems to be in full swing judging by the hundreds of automobiles which are populating the location’s export lot.
Tesla’s Chinese language plant is presently the one one producing the brand new Mannequin 3, which launched earlier this month in a number of markets in Europe, Asia, and the Center East. It seems that manufacturing goes easily on the facility as proven in a video captured by a drone pilot above Tesla China’s export lot.
The drone footage from WuWa (through Teslarati) reveals that Tesla’s platform at Shanghai’s Nankang port options numerous facelifted Tesla Mannequin 3 sedans. Assuming all of the automobiles on this lot are facelifted Mannequin 3s, we’re guesstimating there are greater than 3,000 automobiles on this video.
The drone operator, who has been observing Giga Shanghai since building started in 2019, mentioned within the video’s description that the manufacturing facility has elevated its manufacturing capability since China’s Ministry of Business and Data Expertise (MIIT) permitted Tesla’s new Mannequin 3.

Beforehand, new Mannequin 3 EVs have been produced in small batches and dispersed in numerous warehouses, however in the previous few days they’ve been concentrated in Shanghai’s Nankang port. The progress over final week’s drone video is clear.
WuWa claims that the primary deliveries of the brand new Mannequin 3 will probably be to European clients, citing unnamed sources. This can be confirmed by the truth that the entire Mannequin 3s within the lot bear the European Union brand.
Deliveries of the facelifted Tesla Mannequin 3 are anticipated to start subsequent month in Europe, in line with the corporate’s native web sites in a number of nations within the area. Deliveries in China might not start till early subsequent 12 months, although, in line with the WuWa’s sources.
No matter which markets get the brand new Tesla Mannequin 3 first, it is value mentioning the exemplary mobilization of the Giga Shanghai manufacturing group. The excessive variety of automobiles already produced and awaiting cargo to Europe means that the manufacturing ramp goes nice.
It seems like Tesla has realized its lesson from the preliminary manufacturing ramp of the Mannequin 3 on the Fremont Manufacturing facility between 2017 and 2018. Famously described by Elon Musk as “manufacturing hell,” it was probably the most difficult instances within the firm’s historical past.
