Tesla is doing his best to increase car production at giant factories in Texas and Shanghai to cope with fierce competition from traditional automakers scrambling to launch new electric vehicles, according to news on September 20.

Tesla, the world's largest electric car maker, completed production expansion on Monday at its Shanghai plant, where it makes Model Y SUV and Model 3 cars for Asian and European customers. Last week, Tesla announced the release of the 10,000th Model Y from its giant plant in Texas, an important milestone for the company to increase production of compact electric crossovers there.

As a long-term leader in the field of electric vehicles, Tesla has always faced competition from emerging car companies and established car manufacturers. Electric cars took center stage at last week's Detroit auto show, with several brands vying for the top spot. Ford began delivering Fmur150 lightning pickups to customers in June, while Hyundai, Jeep and others plan to launch a number of new electric models in the coming years.

Tesla accounts for four of the top five best-selling electric cars in the United States, according to market research firm Experian. Tesla accounts for nearly 2/3 of the newly registered electric vehicles in the United States. But if Tesla does not increase global capacity, brands that are expected to compete with Tesla could threaten the company's dominance.

In Shanghai, Tesla will test the new production line in November. The $170 million investment is designed to help Tesla increase production by about 2200 more Model 3 and Model Ys per week.

Production at Tesla's Texas plant is limited by a shortage of new 4680 batteries. Panasonic plans to help resolve the bottleneck in early 2024, when the company's $4 billion battery plant in Kansas will start producing the more advanced batteries.

Once mass production is achieved in Texas, Tesla can focus on launching the long-awaited electric pickup CyberTruck. Elon Musk, chief executive of Tesla, said the car would start production next summer.
