Tesla has begun production in Shanghai of the Model Y crossover that will be sold in Canada this year, Reuters said in a report today, citing people with knowledge of the plan and a production memo.

It will be the first time the company will ship cars from China to North America, a move that will connect Tesla's largest and most cost-effective factory in the world with its biggest market, North America, the report said.

Tesla launched a cheaper, rear-wheel-drive Model Y in Canada just this past weekend, starting at C$59,990, C$10,000 less than the long-range version.

Tesla's website shows that Canadian customers can take delivery of the new Model Y between May and July.

The electric vehicle (EV) maker's Shanghai plant began production of the Canadian version of the Model Y earlier this month, Reuters said, citing a person familiar with the matter. The vehicles are being designed and tested for export to North America, with a goal of producing nearly 9,000 units this quarter, the report said.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk told analysts last week that the company's Shanghai plant has the lowest cost structure of any of its factories, the report noted.

Tesla's factory in Shanghai makes the Model 3 and the Model Y. The plant not only supplies vehicles to local consumers, but is also an export hub for the EV maker.

The company delivered 76,663 vehicles in China in March, and the Shanghai plant exported 12,206 vehicles, according to data released earlier this month by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

It delivered 422,875 vehicles worldwide in the first quarter, including 412,180 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles and 10,695 Model S and Model X vehicles, according to data it announced April 2.

In the first quarter, Tesla sold 229,322 China-made vehicles, contributing 54 percent of its global deliveries.

Tesla's Shanghai plant exported 91,893 vehicles in the first quarter, up 24.39 percent year-on-year, according to data monitored by CnEVPost.

Tesla prices: Here’s how Model 3 and Model Y compare in China vs other markets

Tesla recently lowered the prices of its Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover in several markets around the world, raising concerns about whether it will do the same in the Chinese mainland.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) recently lowered the prices of its Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover in several markets around the world, raising concerns about whether it do the same in the Chinese mainland.

Grace Tao, Tesla's vice president of external affairs, shared several charts on Weibo Friday showing that all versions of the Model 3 and Model Y available in the Chinese mainland are priced lower than in all other markets.

Tao shared the charts without any comment. Whether Tesla will continue to cut prices in the Chinese mainland will be something to watch in the coming days.

Chinese car companies are currently busy preparing for the Shanghai auto show, which will begin on April 18 and run through April 27. The organizers of the show have released a booth map that shows Tesla will be absent.

The low prices enjoyed by consumers in the Chinese mainland are apparently due to the local production of the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.

On August 15 last year, Tao said that 99.9 percent of the team at Tesla's Shanghai factory was made up of Chinese and that the supply chain was more than 95 percent localized.

Tesla's factory in Shanghai currently produces only the Model 3 as well as the Model Y. The plant not only supplies locally, but is also an export center for Tesla.

The Model 3 is currently offered in two versions in the Chinese mainland -- the entry-level rear-wheel drive version and the dual-motor all-wheel drive Model 3 Performance.

The Model Y is available in three versions in the Chinese mainland -- the entry-level rear-wheel drive Model Y, the dual-motor all-wheel drive Model Y Long Range, and the dual-motor all-wheel drive Model Y Performance.

Here are more charts created by CnEVPost based on images shared by Tao yesterday.

Regulatory filing: Tesla removing radars from China-made Model Y

In most parts of the world, the Model 3 and Model Y are already based on the camera-only Vision solution.

TSLA.US

Tesla is removing all the radars from the China-made Model Y crossover, following its practice in the US market.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology today released several documents, including a list of models that will be allowed to be sold in China, as well as change filings for some existing models, with the China-made Model Y included in the latter.

The public can submit feedback on these documents between March 9 and March 15 if they have comments.

Four models of Tesla -- TSL6480BEVAR0, TSL6480BEVAR2, TSL6480BEVBA4 and TSL6480BEVBA5 -- entered the change declaration catalog.

Their pages do not show Model Y, but previous information shows that all four model numbers are the crossover.

These four models of Tesla have added the expression "no radar" to their changed parameter values, according to their filing pages.

Tesla previously announced that it was beginning the transition to Tesla Vision by removing the radars from the Model 3 and Model Y, and plans to remove the device from the Model S and Model X as well.

Today, in most parts of the world, the Model 3 and Model Y are already based on the camera-only Tesla Vision solution.

The ultrasonic radars that are being removed by Tesla are typically placed on the front and rear bumpers or on the side of the vehicle to measure the distance of the vehicle from obstructions to help in scenarios including parking.

Tesla has a factory in Shanghai that makes the Model 3 sedan and Model Y. Tesla doesn't appear to have plans to remove the radar from the Model 3 for now, as it would need to declare it if it wants to do so.

Chinese consumers typically prefer roomier SUVs when buying cars, making the Model Y a popular choice in the country.

The Model Y sold 315,314 units at retail in China in full-year 2022, placing it No. 1 in the ranking of high-end SUV sales with a starting price above RMB 300,000 ($43,050), according to a list published by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) on January 11.

In February, Tesla delivered 33,923 vehicles in China and exported 40,479 units from its Shanghai plant, according to the CPCA data released yesterday. Model 3 and Model Y sales breakdowns in China in February are currently unavailable.

On March 1, Tesla announced that the elastic and damping members in the suspension system of the China-made Model Y have been optimized to reduce bumps at low speeds and allow for a more stable ride at high speeds.

Giga Shanghai's Model Ys produced since January 1, 2023, are equipped with the updated suspension system, Tesla said.
