Chinese give Tesla green light to start building cars

The Chinese built this Gigafactory for Tesla in Shanghai in 9 months. Would never happen in the USA with all the red tape and politicians lining their pockets

Tesla has received the official government approval to start Model 3 production at Gigafactory 3 in China, which was rumored to start this week.

In recent weeks, we have been reporting on Tesla ramping up its efforts to start production soon at Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, China.

The start of production is going to be a major milestone since it’s going to be the first electric vehicle factory wholly-owned by a foreign automaker in China and Tesla’s second electric vehicle production factory.

After starting construction just in January earlier this year, Tesla has been guiding the start of production in Q4 2019 and recent reports indicate that the company is on schedule.

We reported last month that government officials and Tesla suppliers were saying that the automaker planned to start production on October 14.

Now a few days after that date, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gave approval for Tesla to start production at the plant.
