Aerial footage reveals the Model Y has entered full-scale production at Shanghai Giga—production volume may surpass that of the Model 3.
Beijing time, January 4: According to foreign media reports, aerial photos and videos reveal that Tesla's Giga factory in Shanghai, China, shows clear signs of full-scale mass production of the Model Y. The factory parking lot now holds more brand-new Model Y vehicles than Model 3s. Driven by overwhelming consumer interest in Tesla's Model Y within China, the vehicle is now fully ramping up for mass production on Chinese soil.
It is reported that Jason Yang, a drone operator and Tesla enthusiast, shared aerial videos and images on his social media, revealing that Tesla is now ramping up mass production of the Model Y at the "Phase 2 area" of its Shanghai Gigafactory—specifically, the well-known production line dedicated to the Model Y. The sheer volume is so overwhelming that the parking lot for finished vehicles now holds far more Model Ys than Model 3s.
The market widely views this news as a significant achievement for Tesla, especially considering the challenges the company faced earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The expansion of the "second area" at Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory encountered several tough hurdles in 2020. Nevertheless, Tesla and its construction partners managed to accelerate the expansion of the Model Y factory. By December 2020, fully assembled Model Y vehicles were already rolling off the production line at the Shanghai Gigafactory, and deliveries to Tesla stores had already begun.
Overall, Tesla's launch of the Model Y in the Chinese market has been a success. Reports indicate that due to overwhelming demand and an influx of orders, Tesla's website in China temporarily crashed as the number of orders surged dramatically. Meanwhile, online platforms are flooded with images showing long queues of consumers patiently waiting outside Tesla stores across China, eager to get their hands on the Model Y. These scenes clearly highlight the model's immense potential—especially considering its strong competitiveness in the electric crossover segment, which happens to be China's largest and one of the most popular automotive market niches.
Currently, the Tesla Model Y is making a significant splash in the Chinese market, backed by extensive marketing efforts and strong momentum. As the vehicle rolls out, enters production, and begins deliveries, Tesla has been continuously adjusting the pricing of its Model Y in China. The dual-motor AWD version now starts at 339,900 RMB (approximately $52,000), while the Performance variant kicks off at 369,900 RMB (about $56,600)—a substantial drop from the prices initially announced when the car first hit the market. Back then, the dual-motor AWD model carried a sticker price of 488,000 RMB ($74,600), whereas the Performance version originally came with an MSRP of 535,000 RMB ($81,800). Meanwhile, to better align with Chinese consumers' preferences and lifestyle needs, Tesla has also introduced several updates specifically tailored for the Chinese market, including redesigned doors, a heated steering wheel, and an advanced bioweapon defense mode feature.
