Tesla Inc. (TSLA) shares soared 5.04% in intraday trading on Tuesday, outperforming the broader market as the electric vehicle (EV) giant made progress on its expansion plans in China.
According to local media reports, Tesla's massive Megafactory in Shanghai is expected to be completed by the end of this year, with production set to begin in the first quarter of 2025. The Megafactory, which will primarily produce Tesla's ultra-large Megapack commercial energy storage batteries, is seen as a crucial component of the company's global growth strategy.
The positive news regarding Tesla's Shanghai facility coincided with a broader rally in EV stocks on Tuesday. Shares of EV makers like Lucid Group, Nio, Rivian, and Xpeng all gained over 2%, fueled by optimism surrounding the industry's long-term prospects and the potential for increased adoption of electric vehicles.
