The reason Tesla decided to ship vehicles from Giga Shanghai to Europe is, according to Troy, there is a big Model Y order backlog in Europe and there are some delays with Giga Berlin.
This is exciting news for any Model Y reservation holder in Europe who can’t wait to get his/her vehicle.
And for those fearing the Model Y built at Giga Shanghai won’t be as good as once built at Giga Berlin, Troy says made in China Model Ys are extremely high quality.
Model Ys assembled at Giga Shanghai have a build failure rate of less than 3%. As compared to the broader automotive world this is exceptionally low.
