The new year 2020 found the Tesla Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai with progressing construction of additional buildings, parking lots, roads and other infrastructure.

While the production of cars already started, Tesla probably still needs months if not another year to complete all of its planned facilities. Let's see what's changed over the past week or two.

Video Description via Jason Yang on YouTube:

(Jan 02 2020)Tesla adjusted the price of the GF3 Model 3 to 42,930US$,Start delivery tomorrow

Tesla officially adjusted the price of the domestic version of the Model 3 from 355,800 RMB previously to 323,800 RMB (including the basic version of the auxiliary driving function). In addition to the official concessions, the car can also be exempted from purchase tax and the state's subsidy policy. The subsidy amount is 24,750 RMB. Therefore, the current price of the car after subsidy is 299,050 RMB(42,930US$).
