Tesla recently began Model Y deliveries from its plants near Berlin, Germany, and Austin, Texas. But production has been unusually low to start.

Ongoing capacity increases to the Tesla Shanghai facility, also will boost production going forward. The Model Y production upgrades have reportedly ended with the Model 3 line now paused for improvements. In the short run, this likely limited Tesla Shanghai’s production. The China Passenger Car Association estimated that Tesla China’s wholesale sales, including exports, fell to just 30,000 in July.
