The Asian bomb has exploded, Tesla Giga Shanghai is shipping cars abroad.
Tesla’s cars are fast, but they’re snails compared to the team that built the electric carmaker’s factory in SHANGHAI, CHINA—the company’s first Gigafactory outside of the United States.
The project signals ambition at Tesla that goes beyond China. CEO Elon Musk has described the Shanghai factory as the automaker’s “TEMPLATE FOR FUTURE GROWTH.” Tesla Gigafactory Shanghai could very well be Tesla’s ace-in-the-hole this year, thanks to the rapid ramp of its Model 3 and Model Y production.So HOW STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT IS GIGA SHANGHAI FOR TESLA?Tesla recently said that it has shifted its [focus?] from Fremont Factory to Gigafactory Shanghai, and Tesla’s July results in China are confirming that.
“Due to strong U.S. demand and global average cost optimization, we have completed the transition of Gigafactory Shanghai as the primary vehicle export hub.”
While Gigafactory Shanghai was originally only supposed to produce vehicles for LOCAL DEMAND, Tesla surprised itself with how fast it was able to ramp up production at the plant.
The automaker achieved an annualized production capacity of 450,000 electric vehicles at Gigafactory Shanghai within two years of starting production at the new factory.
It enabled Tesla to start exporting vehicles from the factory to other markets – reducing the exportation load out of the FREMONT FACTORY, which can now focus more on local demand.
This shift is becoming clear with the release of TESLA’S JULY RESULTS in China.

Gigatexas and Gigaberlin will both be producing vehicles within weeks or months, the first will roll out perhaps before the end of 2021. By the end of 2022, worldwide production by Tesla will have at least doubled y-o-y. It's not unlikely that sites will be announced in India and GB during 2022, plus another US or Canadian plant.
And the US taxpayer provides subsidies to Tesla.
“Global average cost optimization” is a fancy term for utilizing cheap labor and a limited regulation location that doesn’t worry about air quality or safety.
The US plant can now “focus on local demand” which means less cars are being produced in the US.
Why all the excitement?
Why the pointless comment?
It means that the Fremont plant was building for non-US market and now it doesn’t have to, which will definitely help them with the strong demand in the North American market.
Musk has an extensive network of worshipping cultists.
Where were the cars being made for the US market?
What it means is that production in the US will decline in the future.
India a low maybe. GB, no. With Brexit, it won't make too much sense, even though the British Business Minister has been making some efforts to get a Tesla giga factory there.
No, we don’t.
[snip] If you’re wondering why no Teslas or the recently announced GMC Hummer EV are included, it’s because GM and Tesla vehicles are no longer eligible for the federal tax credit. When a manufacturer sells its 200,000th qualified vehicle, the tax credit is scheduled to wind down, reducing by half to $3,750 and then half again over a period of time before being reduced to nothing. Tesla sold its 200,00th vehicle in 2018, and the credit fully expired at the end of 2019. Another popular EV, the Chevrolet Bolt EV, also is no longer eligible for any tax credit. [/snip]

and all those wonderful carboncredits he can cash in on...
ya gotta love it
“Tesla’s cars are fast...”
Yeah, for about 3-4, 0-60 runs, and then they have to limp home to get recharged, if they don’t catch fire on the way. BTW, don’t keep an EV in the garage, in case it fires-up and burns your home down.
Fremont.
Gigatexas is nearly ready to go, and the Model Y and Cybertruck will be coming from there.
Try to keep up and make sense.
EV orgasms!
See # 11.
China delenda est.
Not only that, shut off all electricity in your house at night, otherwise the current will leak out of the sockets and burn it down.
What you said there is just BS.
A fleet of Teslas drove 300,000 miles. Here’s what broke and what didn’t

How Many Miles Will a Tesla Last?

Tesla's edge is in quality, and the Chinese EV buyers know it. They just can't necessarily afford a Tesla (yet) but the supposed Tesla-killers have not come through for the CCP. Exporting Teslas from Shanghai into the Far East and Aus/NZ (and even India) means they collect fees and taxes.
