TESLA Inc. plans to invest up to 1.2 billion yuan (US$187.91 million) to expand production capacity at its Shanghai factory that will allow it to employ 4,000 more people at the site, the Beijing Daily newspaper reported Friday.

The newspaper attributed the information to a Shanghai government platform for companies’ environmental information disclosures.

The investment amount was redacted in the document Tesla published Nov. 23 on the platform when reporters accessed the document Friday.

The filing showed that expansion will allow Tesla to add 4,000 staff, taking the number of people the plant can employ to 19,000. There will be no change to the models the factory currently produces, according to the filing, which also did not specify how much production capacity will be increased.

Tesla’s Shanghai factory was designed to make up to 500,000 cars a year, and currently has the capacity to produce Model 3 and Model Y vehicles at a rate of 450,000 total units a year.

It currently ships China-made Model 3s to Europe, where it is building a factory in Germany. In October, it sold 54,391 China-made vehicles, including 40,666 for export, China Passenger Car Association data showed.(SD-Agencies)
