Tesla’s push for the new Model Y’s global dominance has officially started. 

As per recent reports, the production of Tesla’s new Model Y is starting across the company’s factories.

The new Model Y:

• The new Model Y is the successor to the Model Y classic, which is Tesla’s best-selling vehicle for years.
• So successful was the Model Y classic that it became the world’s best-selling car by volume in 2023 and 2024.
• The new Model Y introduces several key updates to the all-electric crossover, from a revamped exterior to a fully redone interior.
• Insights from Tesla owners who experienced the new Model Y have also praised the vehicle for its improved suspension.

Production of the new Model Y has officially started at Gigafactory Shanghai.

New Model Y ramp:

• Tesla Asia officially announced through its official account on X that the new Model Y has started production in Gigafactory Shanghai.
• The start of the vehicle’s production came after the updated Model Y completed China’s full regulatory process.
• Interestingly enough, Tesla China has hinted that the first deliveries of the new Model Y may start later this month.
• Expectations are high for the new Model Y in China. The Model Y classic, after all, sold 480,309 units in the domestic Chinese market in 2024.
• That’s a total of 73.10% of the 657,102 units that Tesla China sold domestically last year, as noted in a CNEV Post report.
