Sales have greatly increased after the price reduction, and Tesla plans to increase the output of the Shanghai factory to 20, 000 cars a week.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Jenny for the beautiful clue delivery! According to a report on the evening of February 1, Beijing time, Tesla plans to increase production at his Shanghai factory in the next two months to meet demand caused by sharp price cuts in his best-selling models.

According to the memo, at least in February and March this year, Tesla's Shanghai factory plans to produce an average of nearly 20, 000 cars a week, close to the level of September last year. Last September, the Shanghai plant produced 82088 Model 3 and Model Y cars.

Tesla has not yet commented on this.

To boost sales of electric cars, Tesla cut the prices of Model 3 and Model Y in the Chinese market by 6 per cent and 13.5 per cent, respectively, early last month. Data show that from January 9 to 15, the average daily sales of Tesla electric vehicles in the Chinese market reached 12654, an increase of 76 per cent compared with the same period last year.

As of January 29, Tesla's average daily retail volume in China rose 36% from a year earlier to 25686 vehicles.

In an earnings call last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) said orders in January had roughly doubled after the global price cut. Musk also predicts that delivery could reach 2 million vehicles in 2023.
