According to a video from @bentv_sh, an apparent Tesla Model Y has been spotted outside Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory.

“On the morning of November 6, I was passing by the west gate of the factory on my way back to the original location after completing the ground recording of the west side of the factory, when I found a fully camouflaged car parked at the west gate ready to enter the factory, I immediately realized that this car should be the MIC Model Y that everyone has been talking about recently, I quickly took out my camera to shoot, and when I ran to the bridge, the “camouflaged car” had been slowly driving into the factory,” explained @bentv_sh.

Check out the video below—it definitely looks like a Model Y:

One has to wonder why this Model Y is wrapped in camouflage. Either Tesla doesn’t want us to see it’s a Model Y, or some subtle changes are coming for the made-in-China (MIC) Model Y.

The last time we saw a Model Y in camouflage wrap was one that was destined for Europe, spotted outside Tesla’s Fremont factory.

Recently, Tesla officially registered the Model Y in China, paving the way for production of the SUV at its Gigafactory in Shanghai. Model Y units produced in China will most likely also be for markets in Europe and around the region aside from just China, similar to the Model 3.
