SHANGHAI,CHINA - MARCH 29: An aerial view of Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory on March 29, 2021 in Shanghai, China. Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory is reportedly producing vehicles at a rate of about 450,000 cars per year.

Reuters reported that Giga Shanghai's team recently completed an upgrade that aims to expand its production lines to deliver more electric vehicles to the world, soon releasing EVs to the world. Its main focus would be on the Model 3 and Model Y EVs, with the capabilities to manufacture up to 22,000 units per week. 

It beats the previous capacity that the plant has, but it is not yet fully ready to deliver electric vehicles a full capacity, especially as the company would have to test it first. The testing would begin by September 19, and it will ensue until November 30 from its statement.

Giga Shanghai to Produce 22K EVs Per Week

The company is officially finished with upgrading the production line which aims to deliver 22,000 electric vehicles per week, something which is a new achievement for the Tesla China plant. According to InsideEVs, its Chinese foothold is known for centering on global production at the start of every quarter, and will only shift to its local deliveries towards its end.

At first, the public was awry about the Gigafactory Shanghai as they thought that it would have a less remarkable output compared to other gigafactories in the world. However, people who received the new Tesla Model Ys did not see any significant changes or differences with the EV.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said that the Giga Shanghai is its most productive electric vehicle factory across the globe, having a fondness for the Chinese production plant due to its performance. The Shanghai production of the company can manufacture up to 3,000 electric vehicles per day, working at full blast. 

The Gigafactory over in Shanghai recently celebrated a massive milestone for the plant after it released the 1 millionth EV release of the company, citing the significant speed its overall manufacturing brings to all. It brings the total of EVs produced in the plant to 3 million, and that is massive for the almost five-year open manufacturing facility. 

Its many changes now aim to deliver more on the company's vehicles, centering on more productions and a high weekly rate to deliver EVs for different nearby regions. The plants reach areas like Europe and other nearby places for the Tesla cars it makes for the world.
