"Tesla China also noted that its drive units' integrated design improves energy conversion efficiency while reducing overall weight and complexity, benefits that translate into stronger performance, improved handling, and longer service life for its vehicles. The new milestone builds on earlier achievements at the same site. In July 2024, Tesla announced that its 10 millionth electric drive system globally had rolled off the line at the Shanghai plant, making it the first self-produced Tesla component to reach that volume."
"More recently, the factory also produced its 4 millionth China-made vehicle, a Model Y L. The factory has also continued hitting global production milestones, rolling out Tesla's 9 millionth EV worldwide late last year, with the landmark vehicle being a Tesla Model Y. Construction of Giga Shanghai began in January 2019, with production starting by the end of that year."
Gigafactory Shanghai rolled out its 5 millionth locally produced drive unit and the team marked the milestone on the company's official Weibo account. The plant produces the Model Y and Model 3 and manufactures a three-in-one integrated electric drive system that combines motor, gearbox, and inverter into a single compact assembly. The integrated design improves energy conversion efficiency while reducing weight and complexity, yielding stronger performance, improved handling, and longer service life. The site previously produced Tesla's 10 millionth electric drive system globally and has reached vehicle production milestones including its 4 millionth China-made vehicle. Construction began in January 2019 and the plant can produce about 1 million vehicles annually.
