In which Chinese city is Tesla’s Gigafactory located? The answer is Shanghai.

Gigafactory Shanghai, also called Giga Shanghai or Gigafactory 3, is located in Shanghai, China. More precisely, the plant sits in the Lingang area of Pudong, a major district on the city’s southeastern side. It is Tesla’s first vehicle factory outside the United States.

Tesla reached an agreement with Shanghai authorities in 2018, secured the site later that year, and broke ground in January 2019. Initial production began before the end of 2019, an unusually rapid construction timeline for a large automobile plant. The factory initially focused on the Model 3 and later added Model Y production.

Hong Kong and Shenzhen are also major Chinese cities, but neither is the location of Tesla’s Gigafactory 3. Beijing is China’s capital, not the site of this plant. Shanghai’s port, industrial infrastructure, and role as a manufacturing and export center were important advantages for Tesla’s China expansion.
