Tesla has no specific plan to begin humanoid robot production at its Shanghai plant, according to information obtained by Jiemian News from Tesla China.

The clarification follows remarks by vice-president Wang Hao at a recent media event, where he said the Shanghai facility has strong large-scale manufacturing capabilities and could play a significant role in future robot production.

Tesla is expected to release its third-generation humanoid robot by the end of 2026. The company is also converting part of its Fremont Factory—currently used for Model S and Model X vehicles—into a humanoid robot production line, with a long-term goal of reaching annual output of up to one million units.
