3. Unloading vessel

They're being unloaded at the Shanghai port. I believe Teslas are made in the US and imported there.
Lots of imports in the China auto market, and Teslas are popular status symbols, just like here.

Yes, there is a new operational Tesla factory in Shanghai.
There are also factories being built in Berlin and Austin, TX.

The Teslas you see on the road were built in Fremont, CA.

Kept thinking about what if TFG terrorists targeted that ship enroute to its destination. That's a lot of EVs they could take out if they did. Tens of millions of dollars lost too.

The magnitude of it was impressive! Thanks you for sharing!
