Tesla Gigafactory 3 is a factory in Shanghai, China by Tesla, Inc. The facility will produce battery cells along with Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y cars, at an initial production rate target of 250,000 electric cars per year. The first China-built Tesla cars were delivered in December 2019. The Shanghai regional government approved the agreement to build the production facility in July 2018, and a long-term lease was signed for about 86 hectares (210 acres) of land in October 2018. Construction began in December 2018 with the installation of secure fencing and site offices. The General Assembly Building was nearly complete by August 2019, and manufacturing line equipment was being installed for both batteries and automobiles. News reports in August noted production could start as early as November 2019, and CNBC reports that Tesla is expected to manufacture more than 6000 vehicles at Gigafactory 3 by year-end 2019. The plant had begun initial production of Tesla Model 3 cars by October 2019. While trial production on the general assembly line continues, additional production facilities for motors, seats, and powertrain assemblies are under construction in late 2019 with expected completion by March 2020. Tesla is also building an engineering team in China.
