We are observing the progress of Tesla Gigfactory 3 in Shanghai, China – most of the time, thanks to our friend's information Vincent Collect on twitter. Now he has the news that Tesla is preparing to undertake a groundbreaking ceremony for Gigaxterry 3 (GF3) within 7 hours.

As you can see in the tweet, Alon Musk has arrived in China for the ceremony.
As we collect more information – most often from Vincent – we will update this story.
As a reminder, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y will initially be released on GF3, probably at the end of 2019. For more background on the wide battery and electric car factory, scroll through our GF3 archives.
Updates: We have a few new tweets about news from Allen:
To complete the initial construction this summer, start production of model 3 of the year and reach higher volume production the next year

Model 3 / Y Shanghai Giga production will serve more China area

Shanghai Giga output is only for big china, not North America. Consumers should create a car on the same continent as consumers.
