Perhaps I've missed an update, but after the Model 3 production was
announced the production locations were clarified. Commenting wasn't
working on nsea website, so I sent them this comment via their contact page.
The author misinterpreted Elon Musk's comments. It has been
clarified that Model 3 production will start in California for US
distribution. A year later the China factory is planned to start
production, for China distribution.

2017 Tesla Model 3: Minimizing Cost The Obvious Way

We have all heard about the upcoming Model 3 and how the EV sedan is going
to be the cheapest model ever produced by Tesla Motors. Due to arrive early
in 2017, the Model 3 is aimed at attracting more gasoline drivers to make
the switch to EV.
Tesla is aware that the main ingredient for success with the Model 3 is to
pricing it cheaply. Hence, we can see the Model 3 coming out with a more
basic offering instead of being packed with luxury features.
Just recently, Tesla’s chief Elon Musk also teased that they are considering
to build the Model 3 in China. The cheap cost of labour in China will
certainly help drag the production cost down. The unfortunate thing is that
Elon didn’t specify on whether the production of the Model 3 in China will
be for the global market. It is a cheap tactic that has been practiced by
various carmakers but not a favourite method.
We personally don’t think that is going to happen and Tesla will only build
the Model 3 in China for the local Chinese market. Saving the cost of
shipping and distribution is certainly much more effective than paying
unnecessary tax and labour. Wouldn’t you agree?
