Tesla's Gigafactory Shanghai can churn a brand new Model 3 or Model Y every 40 seconds, as per a new Twitter video. This tiny bit of information is another reminder of the sheer scale and efficiency of Tesla's manufacturing in Asia's second largest country.

The remarkable manufacturing speed even trumps Ford, who said in a press release in January 2023 that its Dearborn, Michigan, truck plant can roll out an F-150 every 49 seconds.

A clip was shared on Shanghai's tourism handle, giving viewers an inside glimpse of Giga Shanghai. In one frame, a production-line worker explains how dozens of robotic arms work in tandem at a single station to improve efficiency. In the subsequent clip, the worker narrates how double-stacked workshops arrange production lines an in efficient manner.
