It looks like Tesla is all set to expand its reach to
European countries.
A new drone footage, shot outside Gigafactory Shanghai
plant, has emerged revealing that massive shipments of Tesla Model 3 Highland
are being prepared for export across the Atlantic Ocean!
It appears that Tesla is Mapping out their global domination
plans and it’s best we take a closer look at what’s going on here.
Model 3 Highland Deliveries are Set to Begin in October
It’s no surprise that Tesla has been making waves in the
automotive industry as of recently with their most recent launch, aptly named
“Highland” – a Chinese-made Model 3.
Constructed from the company’s production facility located
in Shanghai, this innovative vehicle will be sure to shake up both local and
international car enthusiasts alike for its promise of design changes and new
features.
One fresh feature worth noting is the Blind Spot Indicator
(BSI). Taking into account how incredibly busy the roads have become in most
countries around the world, this cutting-edge technology is an excellent way to
ensure safety on long distance drives.
As reported widely recently, drivers of the Model 3 Highland
will be able to benefit from a unique set of sensors integrated within their
cars utilized to keep track of traffic surrounding them – a significant visual
reminder for those distracted moments while driving.
Tesla has already launched sales for the Model 3 Highland
series and deliveries are scheduled to punctually commence as early as October,
reserving business over the next few months. This particular model is likely to
be made available in various Asian and European markets, as well as other
markets such as UAE and Israel.
Drone Images Show Massive Fleet of Model 3 Highland Getting Ready for
Delivery
A picture showing a massive fleet of Tesla Model 3 Highland
was captured by a drone operator named Wu Wa in the midst of preparations for
shipment outside mainland China. Taken from aerial view, the image was captured
at Tesla’s Shanghai plant that has now become an export hub specifically for
Model 3s due to its immense production capabilities.
The photos taken by Wu Wa depict the initial delivery of
this Model 3 batch – possibly to be delivered across international markets. Tesla’s
operations continue to expand across the world, with its presence in both China
and Europe becoming increasingly prominent.

hailing from China as well as two more located in Northern America and Western
Europe respectively. Most noteworthy is Tesla’s Brandenburg facility located

No Clear Indication of Model 3 Highland Availability in US
It has been over a year since the engineering of the Tesla
Model 3 Highland was initiated. This revolutionary build is expected to take
off in U.S markets however no clear details or indications with regards to its
actual availability have been released by Tesla yet.
At present, there are contract filings that have been
spotted in various states across the U.S. Certainly, this has created a wave of
curiosity amongst Tesla investors and car fans alike as to when exactly the
Highland will be in service on domestic roads.
According to these filings, preparations for the
availability have been ongoing over the past 13 months prior to its current
stage – allowing speculation that it may soon go into production.
However, many also note the un imminent availability may be
due to design changes from previous models that might need further approval
from external sources before it can finally hit the showroom floors.
While no exact date has been specified by Tesla for a
potential U.S launch, car enthusiasts nationwide remain curious as to when
they’ll get a chance to view this particular model of vehicle up close and
personal in their own backyard.
Since the engineering blueprints are completed, all that’s
left is just a matter of when the company begins building and receives all the
necessary approvals from the relevant sources.
For now – with a series of Tesla-inspired art pieces
publicly visible in California, it could be argued that while tangible vehicles
are yet to come – their ideology is already taking shape!
