Tesla has begun delivering the Model 3 sedans built at its Shanghai factory in China, officially known as Gigafactory 3. The initial deliveries were made for 15 Tesla employees, one of whom took the opportunity to propose his girlfriend, reportedly.

The Shanghai plant is up and running in just under a year; it is the first wholly foreign-owned car manufacturing facility in the country. The plant currently produces Model 3, which starts at 355,800 yuan ($51,000) before subsidies. Tesla will ramp up the production in January 2020.
Tesla is also busy building service centers and charging stations across China.
