Global Times estimated weekly Tesla China output will be 2,900 units at the phase-1 factory. It will take time to fully ramp.
Tesla plans to produce more than 1,000 cars a week by the end of 2019 from the Shanghai factory and deliver Chinese-made cars before the Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year January 25.
Nextbigfuture guesses:
* 500 Tesla’s produced so far
* 500 built and delivered Dec 8-14
* 800 built and delivered Dec 15-21
* 1100 built and delivered Dec 22-28
* 600 built and delivered Dec 29-31
Total of 3500 from Tesla China in 2019.

Currently Fremont is running at about ~8750 cars per week (all 3 models) so ~450k per year. GF3 CAN only scale to 150k per year so next year it will probably build ~100k best case. Fremont will ramp more. So lets say they hit 500k for the calendar year. Now you have 600k cars

At a guess, a Tesla is seen as a prestige luxury car, especially in China. Prestige luxury cars are often done in black, it’s just seen as more prestigious.
Remember that issues such as keeping the black paint clean and polished are less of an issue if you are rich and wages are low.
I hope you are correct, Brian. 3-4000 cars delivery in 2019 from the shanghai factory would be fantastic.
Hrm, wonder why black is so popular a color?
