TESLA’S Shanghai Gigafactory exported nearly 30,000 vehicles in April, marking its highest monthly export volume in the past 12 months, the company said on Wednesday. This achievement comes as the China-made Model Y gains strong popularity in overseas markets. The New Model Y, which made its global debut in China in January this year, is now being exported to Australia and multiple Asian markets including the Republic of Korea (ROK), according to Tesla.
The US electric auto giant’s first-quarter earnings report revealed that the New Model Y helped the company achieve a record-high single-day order volume in the Asia-Pacific market following its launch.
In the ROK alone, the New Model Y sparked a buying frenzy on the very first day orders opened.
Tesla’s official website briefly crashed due to overwhelming traffic, while Korean consumers lined up outside showrooms in large numbers.
