2 Answers
Tesla cars are manufactured in the United States. The models under its brand include: Model 3, Model S, Model X, Model Y, and Tesla Roadster. Taking the 2021 Standard Range Rear-Wheel Drive Upgrade Model 3 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4694mm, width 1850mm, height 1443mm, with a wheelbase of 2875mm. The 2021 Standard Range Rear-Wheel Drive Upgrade Model 3 has a total motor power of 202kW and a total motor torque of 404Nm, paired with a single-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
As an ordinary car owner, when I bought a Tesla Model 3, I found out it was made in Shanghai. Later, I learned that Tesla has multiple factories in different regions. Its headquarters is in California, USA, where the Fremont factory produces high-end models like the Model S and Model X. The Shanghai factory was built at an astonishing speed, going from zero to production in less than a year, mainly manufacturing Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, not only for the Chinese market but also exporting to countries like Europe. If you buy a Tesla in Europe, it might be a Model Y produced at the Berlin factory. The production location directly affects the car's price and waiting time—for example, imported cars have higher tariffs, while localized production makes the cars cheaper and delivery faster. Tesla's global strategy is really smart, allowing it to better serve different markets.
