Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has wrapped up his brief visit to China, where he spent the past two days meeting with several Chinese officials and visiting Tesla's Shanghai factory.
Musk's private jet with registration number N628TS took off from Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport at 11:23 am Thursday and is expected to arrive in Austin, where Tesla is headquartered, in 12 hours and 50 minutes, according to flight-tracking platform Variflight.
The Tesla CEO arrived in Shanghai from Beijing yesterday evening and toured the Tesla Shanghai factory overnight.
Early this morning, Grace Tao, Tesla's vice president of external affairs, shared two images on Weibo showing Musk with Giga Shanghai employees.

The Weibo was posted at 0:28, while Tao was at the facility, her Weibo location information shows.
Neither Tao nor Tesla disclosed the exact schedule of Musk's activities at Giga Shanghai, though Bloomberg reported that the first cars to roll off the line at the plant on Thursday were prototypes of the updated Model 3 sedan.
Musk arrived in Beijing on May 30 on his private jet, and was later met by Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang in Beijing.
Tesla opposes decoupling and supply chain disconnection and is willing to continue to expand its business in China and share in China's development opportunities, Musk said, according to a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
On May 31, Chinese Minister of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) Jin Zhuanglong met with Musk in Beijing, where the two sides exchanged views on topics including the development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) and smart connected vehicles, according to an announcement from the MIIT.
Musk then visited China's Ministry of Commerce and was met by Commerce Minister Wang Wentao.
In addition to the meeting with Chinese officials, Musk was seen meeting with Robin Zeng, chairman of CATL, the world's largest power battery manufacturer, on May 30.
A picture circulating on Chinese social networks shows Musk and Zeng together in the lobby of a hotel.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk began the second day of his visit to China today, meeting with more local officials.
On May 31, Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) Minister Jin Zhuanglong met with Musk in Beijing, where they exchanged views on topics including the development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) and smart connected vehicles, according to an announcement from the MIIT.
The MIIT is China's industrial regulator, overseeing areas including the automotive industry.
Earlier today, Reuters reported that Musk visited China's Ministry of Commerce and met with Commerce Minister Wang Wentao.
Musk arrived in Beijing yesterday on its private jet, and was later met by Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang.
Tesla opposes decoupling as well as supply chain disconnection and is willing to continue to expand its business in China and share in China's development opportunities, Musk said, according to a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry yesterday.
In addition to the meeting with Chinese officials, Musk was seen yesterday meeting with Robin Zeng, chairman of CATL, the world's largest power battery maker.
A picture circulating on Chinese social networks showed Musk and Zeng together in the lobby of a hotel.
Neither Tesla nor CATL made an announcement about the meeting. Local media outlet The Paper cited industry sources as saying the talks could include cell supply for Tesla's Megafactory in Shanghai, future cooperation on a battery plant in North America and power cell supply.
Tesla signed a contract with Shanghai's Lingang authorities on April 9 to build a new Megafactory in the area, which will be dedicated to the production of Tesla's energy storage product Megapack.
The Megafactory will be Tesla's first energy storage system factory outside of the US home market, with an initial planned annual production capacity of up to 10,000 commercial energy storage batteries and an energy storage scale of nearly 40 GWh, with products to be supplied to the global market.
The plant is scheduled to start construction in the third quarter of this year and go into operation in the second quarter of 2024, according to an announcement by the Lingang special area administration.
Tesla's vehicle assembly plant in Shanghai is located in the Lingang area, which began operations in late 2019 and has now become Tesla's largest EV production site in the world.
Tesla sold 75,842 China-made vehicles in April, including 39,956 delivered in China and 35,886 exported, according to data released earlier in the month by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
