Today, Tesla China Vice President Grace Tao has officially confirmed that the Model 3, manufactured by Giga Shanghai, will soon arrive in Europe. All cars will be upgraded versions of the Standard Range+, which are being delivered to the Chinese market.
"Model 3 from the Shanghai Super Factory is about to land in Europe.
This export vehicle is an upgraded version of the Model 3 standard battery life, which is consistent with the models supplied to the Chinese market. The export countries include Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland and more than ten European countries."
Thousands of Model 3s are in Shanghai Port and are due to be shipped next Tuesday.

Editor's Take: The Chinese National Holiday ended on Oct 8. It is especially noteworthy that, in just over a week since then, Giga Shanghai was able to produce thousands of Model 3s. This is incredibly positive for the current production rate at Tesla's China gigafactory.
