Tesla begins delivering China-made Model 3s in January 2020, all versions without a power tailgate.

The Model Y sold 16,358 units in China in January, second only to BYD Song's 20,722 units.

That includes 40,499 units for export and 19,346 units for Tesla's retail sales in China.

Tesla China sources say reports that Tesla's second factory in China will be located in Shenyang's Dadong District are false.

The city of Shenyang will lay the groundwork for major NEV projects, including Tesla's, an official WeChat account for Liaoning province said in an article Saturday.

BYD's batteries for Tesla will begin mass production in March, and Tesla cars with the blade batteries are expected to hit the market in the second quarter, the latest rumor says.

Promoting the start of construction of the Tesla design center project has become one of the Beijing government's priorities for 2022.

Tesla Giga Shanghai's capacity was 450,000 units last year and will see a huge increase after April, local media said.

Tesla removed one of the two electronic control units typically included in the steering racks of some China-made Model 3 and Model Y cars to deal with a chip shortage, according to CNBC.
