Several observers, photographers, and drone operators actively document the happenings around Tesla's factories. We've shared photos and videos in the past of the Shanghai South Port terminal, where Tesla ships out vehicles for export. While it's always arguably interesting to see the EVs accumulating at the beginning of each quarter, it seems we may have a new record to start Q4 2022.
Tesla produces EVs at its Shanghai Gigafactory and exports most of them during the earlier part of the quarter. Toward the end of the quarter, it focuses on delivering its EVs to local customers in China. For this reason, there's typically a ton of activity at the Luchao Port Shanghai Nangang dock through the first few months of each quarter.
