Expected delivery dates for the rear-wheel drive Model Y in China have been shortened by two weeks, while both the Model 3 Performance and Model Y Performance have been extended by four weeks.

In late July, two Chinese companies just made announcements that they will supply Tesla with ternary precursors for battery materials.

That's down 62 percent from June's record 78,906 units, as Tesla halted production at its Shanghai plant for about two weeks to upgrade its production lines.

The Model Y with a 72-kWh battery pack will first use CATL's M3P batteries, which will be available early next year, according to local media.

A Tesla owner, after a drunk driving accident, said he was sitting in the passenger seat and the vehicle was driven by itself.

New Tesla vehicles ordered on and after July 21 will receive free standard connectivity for eight years from the date of first delivery, instead of the previous free lifetime access.

The Chinese market contributed 22.4 percent to Tesla's revenue in the second quarter, down from 24.8 percent in the first quarter.

Shanghai, home of Tesla's factory in China, is the city where the Model 3 and Model Y are selling the most.

A Tesla user not only took his hands off the wheel, but used a board to completely block the view ahead.

After all the upgrades are completed, the annual production capacity of Tesla Giga Shanghai will be expanded to about 1.1-1.2 million units, according to local media.
