The Model 3 and Model Y produced here not only meet the needs of Chinese consumers, but also are exported to markets such as Europe and Australia.
According to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, Tesla’s Shanghai-produced vehicles exported 39,208, 40,479, 12,206, and 35,886 vehicles in the first four months of this year, totaling 127,779 vehicles exported in four months.

In the first four months of last year, the electric cars produced by Tesla Shanghai Super Factory were exported with the numbers of 40,499, 33,315, 60, and 0 respectively, with a total of 73,874 vehicles.
The export volume of Shanghai-produced Tesla in March and April last year decreased significantly, with no exports in April. This was mainly due to the fact that the Shanghai Super Factory was shut down for a period of time between March and April, which affected the export volume.
The electric cars produced by Tesla Shanghai Super Factory are mainly supplied to the European market. As it takes nearly a month to arrive at European ports, the export of Shanghai-produced Tesla mainly focuses on the first half of each quarter, with higher export volume in the first two months and lower in the last month.
