Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai
Shanghai (China), 14/04/2026.- An employee works in the Tesla Gigafactory assembly line, during a government-organized visit, in Shanghai, China, 14 April 2026. Tesla entered the Chinese mainland market in 2013, and on 07 January, 2019, Gigafactory Shanghai broke ground, becoming its first manufacturing facility outside the US by 30 December of the same year. The factory had started delivering 'Made-in-China' Model 3 vehicles. In 2025, Gigafactory Shanghai delivered 851,000 electric vehicles, over half of Tesla's global deliveries that year. The factory serves two roles: manufacturing for the Chinese market and acting as a global export hub. It produces the Model 3, Model Y, and the six-seat Model Y La SUV, which was unveiled in August 2025. China's advanced manufacturing ecosystem and supply chain make Gigafactory Shanghai one of the world's most competitive auto manufacturing sites. EFE/EPA/ALEX PLAVEVSKI
