Tesla has finally obtained its manufacturing license to start production at Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai - indicating that production is imminent at the new factory. During its earnings last month, the automaker confirmed that it has produced full vehicles at the new factory as part of its trial production: We are already producing full vehicles on a trial basis, from body, to paint and to general assembly, at Gigafactory Shanghai. We have cleared initial milestones toward our manufacturing license and are working toward finalizing the license and meeting other governmental requirements before we begin ramping production and delivery of vehicles from Shanghai.
