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.

In 2021, Tesla sold 169,853 Model Ys and 150,890 Model 3s in China.

What looks like a loophole in the city's vehicle registration system is in fact an example of how city officials leverage minor regulations to effect big changes.

Tesla's first OTA update for the Year of the Tiger, developed by its China team, will bring karaoke functionality and allows owners to change the vehicle color of the center console screen.

Tesla said its factories have been below full capacity for several quarters, a situation that could continue further throughout 2022 as the supply chain becomes the main limiting factor.

So far, Tesla has opened 22 Supercharger stations in Anhui province.

CATL's current facility near Tesla's Giga Shanghai is primarily being used to assemble battery modules, while a new facility is under construction, according to local media.
