Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 7, according to "later Auto", Tesla is planning to restart the construction of the third phase of the automobile factory in Shanghai. Tesla began preparing for the construction of the third phase of the vehicle plant and forming a team in 2021, but suspended action in the middle of last year, according to people close to the matter. At that time, most of the people Tesla recruited for the third phase of the factory had been transferred to other departments.

Tesla disclosed in April that he would build an energy storage super plant in Shanghai with an annual capacity of 40 GWh, which is scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2023 and start production in the second quarter of 2024. The plant is initially planned to produce 10,000 commercial energy storage batteries a year. However, Tesla did not mention the expansion of the car plant at the time, and the link between the third phase of the plant project in Shanghai and the energy storage superfactory was not clear.

In addition, the energy storage battery products that Tesla will start producing in Shanghai next year will be sold in China. At present, the Shanghai factory energy storage project has recruited the head of research and development, and is recruiting the head of sales.

Musk predicted a next-generation car that would sell for $25000 (about 150000 yuan at the exchange rate at the time) in 2020. Industry insiders speculate that if the landing can be carried out smoothly, the future production focus of the Shanghai Phase III plant may be this model.

CTOnews.com noted that at the third-quarter earnings conference in 2022, Musk revealed that "the size of the next generation of models will be smaller than the Model 3 currently on sale, and the cost will be half that of the existing platform."
