After a construction period of seven months, the Tesla Shanghai Megafactory will start series production next Tuesday, reports Car News China. Test production has been running since the end of 2024. In contrast to the Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory, the Megafactory will produce energy storage batteries, so-called megapacks. The factory is Tesla’s first energy storage project outside the United States. In the first year, 10,000 units are planned, which corresponds to a capacity of 40 GWh.
