Tesla has achieved a remarkable milestone in China, selling a record 181,138 cars in the third quarter of 2024. This impressive feat was accomplished by the company's Gigafactory in Shanghai, which produces the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, in less than five years of operation.
Tesla's Shanghai factory, Giga Shanghai, has produced its 3 millionth vehicle, a red Model Y. The plant, which began construction in January 2019 and was completed in just six months, has become a key export hub for the company. As of September 2024, it has exported over 1 million Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to various countries.
Giga Shanghai started producing the Tesla Model 3 in October 2019 and the Model Y in late 2020.

Announced in 2018, the Shanghai factory aimed to reduce import costs and meet local demand for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. Its success has not only benefited the Chinese market but also helped Tesla meet global demand for its electric vehicles.
