Tesla is planning to double Gigafactory Shanghai’s production capacity by adding a new building that could supplement the Chinese factory with 450000 additional vehicle builds every year.

A letter from Tesla, which provided details regarding the automaker’s process of reopening the factory following a three-week closure due to a COVID-19 outbreak, detailed the plans. Tesla wants to expand the plant’s manufacturing output by building a new plant on another piece of land near the Gigafactory Shanghai campus, according to Reuters. The new facility would effectively double the production output of the Shanghai plant, which produced 484100 vehicles in 2021. This accounted for 51.7 percent of Tesla’s total deliveries last year, outpacing the Fremont Factory, which is reportedly operating at as much as 20 percent above capacity.

The plans would make Gigafactory Shanghai "the world’s largest vehicle export hub," as Tesla utilized the factory to keep up with demand for the company’s cars in Europe. Before Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin was given the green light to begin production and deliveries, Tesla was shipping Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built in Shanghai to Europe as bureaucratic red tape kept the European plant from beginning deliveries and production.

My Take: Wow. It will be built very quickly as well without any unnecessary red tape to slow it down.
