The news comes as Tesla launched the RWD Model Y in Europe this week, coming at a price even lower than some of the area’s cheapest Model 3 units.
Tesla’s Model Y also became Europe’s best-selling premium SUV this month, even topping the popular Mercedes GLC.
Exports from Tesla’s Giga Shanghai to Europe are expected to be massive in Q3, with the automaker’s Giga Berlin still ramping up production after becoming operational earlier this year. The Model Y in China recently joined Giga Berlin units in including an extra airbag in its standard build.
Fellow automaker BYD begins delivering batteries to Tesla’s Giga Berlin, and the Model Y with BYD’s batteries is said to offer 440 km (273 miles) of range.
