Previously, Tesla shared its projected annual capacity increase from 450,000 EVs to more than 750,000 electric vehicles from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2022.
China's COVID-19 restrictions greatly affected many manufacturers in Asian countries. However, Tesla Giga Shanghai can still function properly despite recent lockdowns.
"But in spite of all these challenges, it was one of the strongest quarters in our history," said Tesla CEO Elon Musk during his previous earnings call, as reported by Teslarati.
