Part 5/12:
In international markets outside the U.S., local pricing incentives and lower tariffs make smaller, more affordable versions of Tesla's popular models viable. For example, in Germany and the UK, the standard Model Y and 3 are significantly cheaper (by 10-12,000 euros or pounds), making them more accessible.
White notes that Tesla's streamlined manufacturing processes, including the recent Highland and Juniper refreshes, favor quicker production and increased efficiency. Gigafactory Shanghai, already running four shifts and 24/7 operations, is poised to meet rising demand, especially in the lucrative Q4 quarter, which consistently shows peak auto sales globally and especially in China.
