Tesla engineers going to build the second factory in Shanghai
According to Reuters, Tesla is going to keep the palm among electric car manufacturers. So, the start of construction of another plant in China, which will produce electric vehicles, is expected very soon.

According to various sources, the implementation of such a large-scale project may begin as early as March 2022. The new facility is deemed necessary under the current circumstances to meet the growing demand for electrified vehicles in the Chinese and export markets. The new facility in Shanghai will be built next to the existing one.

Production of Tesla electric cars

The second plant for the production of electric cars has great importance for the American company. Tesla's capacity is expected to grow to 2 million electric vehicles a year, and these are forecasts for China only.

Although Tesla in the Asian region faces local competition in the electric car industry — Nio, Xpeng, and BYD as an example of the potential of the Chinese auto industry, Tesla's results are outstanding. For comparison, a year earlier, Toyota Motor produced 1.6 million vehicles, and General Motors, of which SAIC Motor is a partner, produced 1.4 million.

According to the network data, the American automobile concern Tesla has planned to increase the volume of weekly production of electric vehicles to 22,000 cars, and these plans will be implemented in the coming months.

The plant operating in Shanghai is the first site located outside the United States, which produces Tesla electric vehicles. Its construction started in December 2018. The first cars from the American company, assembled there, were delivered to customers after 1 year.
