Tesla's Shanghai factory will begin mass production of the facelifted Model Y next month and is expected to begin deliveries of a six-seat Model Y in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to local media.

Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) Shanghai plant will begin mass production of the facelifted Model Y next month, local media outlet LatePost said in a report yesterday.

The electric vehicle (EV) maker's updates to the Model Y will be similar to what it previously did with the updated Model 3, with tweaks to the interior, exterior, battery capacity, motor performance and self-driving package, the report said.

In addition to the updated Model Y, Tesla Giga Shanghai is expected to begin deliveries of a six-seat Model Y in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to the report.

Giga Shanghai is Tesla's largest factory in the world, with an annual capacity of about 1 million vehicles, and produces the Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover, both five-seat models.

The plant began operations at the end of 2019 and started deliveries of the locally produced Model 3 in January 2020 and the locally produced Model Y in January 2021.

Tesla announced the revamped Model 3, or Model 3 Highland, on September 1, 2023, and began its deliveries in China on October 26 last year.

The updated Model 3 has a sporty look, boasts a longer range of up to 713 kilometers, and gets an upgraded suspension system.
