Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory could produce more than 1 million units a year

In 2021, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory set an amazing record, producing more than 470,000 electric vehicles (more than half of Tesla's global production in 2021). In December, 70,847 units exceeded 70,000. At that rate, it could theoretically produce about 850,000 units a year, which is unheard of in the electric car world. While only time will tell if Tesla can keep up the volume, no other factory produces so many electric cars, each in just over 38 seconds (24/7).
The latest drone video shows tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory in China still appears to be extremely productive, at least at peak times, churning out more electric cars. On January 14, 2022, about 18 Tesla Model YS were ready to ship in a 10-minute video. In other words, a Tesla ELECTRIC SUV could be produced in less than 34 seconds, even faster than the best December in history. If tesla can maintain that pace for a month, production at its Gigafactory in Shanghai, China, will reach a record 76,000 units. In addition, another 10-minute video from the Tesla Model 3 factory shows 11 cars leaving the building, which translates to one Tesla electric sedan every 55 seconds, or 47,000 a month.

Although with two production lines in just 10 minutes of production composite measure of the final output is not science, but as a reference, if the production speed, 1 years even nearly 1.5 million sets of production, so we have reason to guess the tesla China Shanghai super factory now, even in the near future may reach 1 million units annual production target.

Currently, construction preparations are underway for the third phase of Tesla China's Shanghai Gigafactory. The drone video also shows that the site to be built is large enough to at least double the footprint of existing production sites. The expansion of The third phase of Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory means two things. First, Tesla doesn't need to announce another gigafactory, as all three plants in China, Germany and Texas have plenty of room to expand significantly, and a new electric model could be unveiled at the Shanghai Gigafactory in China.
