However, according to the latest reports from foreign media, this Tesla gigafactory, which is under construction and preparing to start producing Model Y, may also be used to produce Model 3.

Foreign media reported that Tesla's Texas Gigafactory is expected to be used to produce model 3, which originated from the newly launched manufacturing page of Tesla's official website, disclosing the models that will be produced after the completion of its 6 major factories.

For the Texas Gigafactory under construction, foreign media found that Tesla first disclosed that it was expected to be used to produce Cyberruck, Model 3 and Model Y after completion in 2021. But soon Tesla updated the page, showing that the Texas Gigafactory was only used to produce Cyberteruck and Model Y, without the Model 3.

It's unclear whether the appearance of the Model 3 in the model planned for the Texas Gigafactory was caused by a mistake by Tesla's website updaters or tesla's intentions.

Foreign media said in the report that this change in the manufacturing page of Tesla's official website indicates that the Texas Gigafactory may be used to produce Model 3.

In addition, foreign media also mentioned in the report that in the second quarter of 2020, in the earnings analyst conference call, Tesla CEO Musk had mentioned that they will build a large factory in the east of North America, which will be used to produce electric pickup truck Cyberruck, electric truck Semi, and will also produce Model 3 and Model Y for eastern North America. According to his statement at the time, their next factory in North America would be used to produce the Model 3, but Tesla had not yet determined that the next factory in North America would be built in Austin.
