Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory made its 1 millionth car

Challenges didn't stop the Chinese factory from reaching a key milestone. The company's 1 millionth car was recently produced, according to the company's CEO. Musk said earlier in August that the company had made 3 million electric vehicles.

The facility is a key part of the manufacturing strategy of the company. The largest EV factory on the planet began production in late 2019. By the end of 2021, it was crucial to the success of the company. In addition to China, the company's main export hub is GigafactoryShanghai, where cars are delivered to Europe and other key markets.

The factory is becoming part of a bigger puzzle. The opening of the Gigafactories in Berlin and Texas will drive some growth in the near term. The Chinese plant will be crucial to meeting ever- higher production goals and competing with international EV makers.
