AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/05 Report--

The media continuously reported the latest news of Tesla's Shanghai super factory, including the start of production this month and an unsecured 12-month revolving loan of up to 5 billion yuan from China Merchants Bank. A few days ago, a person familiar with the matter revealed online that eight Model 3s have been test-loaded and offline at the factory.

According to previous official sources, the price of the standard battery life upgrade version of the domestic Model 3 is 328000 yuan, and the earliest delivery time for the first batch of models is half a year (that is, the end of 2019). It has a range of 460 km and a maximum acceleration time of 5.6 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h.

With regard to pricing, Tao Lin, vice president of Tesla Global, pointed out that the 328000 yuan pricing of domestic Model 3 has taken into account the operation of the Shanghai factory for quite a long time in the future, as well as the efficiency improvement and cost reduction that may be brought about by the expansion of the scale.

It is worth noting that the pre-built assembly production line at the Shanghai factory has imported vehicles into China for assembly production in the form of CKD, and the target is to produce about 1000 Model 3 electric vehicles per week by the end of the year.

Not long ago, the media reported that Tesla's Shanghai Super Factory in China plans to start production this month, just nine months after the plant began construction. Due to the uncertainty of orders, labor and suppliers, it is not clear when the production target will be reached by the end of the year. Tesla's Shanghai plant, which began construction in early January this year, has gone through two rounds of acceptance and is close to production.

On August 7, 2019, Tesla officially announced that "the Shanghai super factory has been built smoothly and is expected to be officially put into production by the end of 2019."

Tesla China signed a financing agreement with China Merchants Bank, which includes up to 5 billion yuan in unsecured 12-month revolving loans, Bloomberg reported. Tesla also said in March that he had signed a 12-month financing agreement with Chinese banks for up to 3.5 billion yuan to build a super factory in Shanghai.

The Shanghai Super Factory is Tesla's first overseas factory and the first fully foreign-owned car factory in China.
