Tesla executives said today that the company will begin rolling off the Chinese-made Model Y from the Shanghai Super Factory production line in early 2021.
The Model Y is Tesla’s second SUV model, launched last March. Tesla originally planned to deliver the vehicle in the fall of 2020, but due to a smooth production-line transition, the vehicle will be delivered to customers in late March this year.
At present, Tesla has not officially announced the price of the China-made Model Y, and the production line for this model at the Shanghai Super Factory is still under construction.
According to Tesla China’s official website, the estimated price of the Model Y Long Range version is 488,000 yuan, while the Performance version is 535,000 yuan.
This model is scheduled to go into production as early as 2021 and is now open for pre-orders. A few days ago, Tesla founder Elon Musk stated at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference that Tesla is assembling a research and development team in China, the Shanghai Super Factory is progressing smoothly, and he looks forward to visiting Shanghai again soon.
