Tesla officially confirmed its plans to set up a manufacturing facility in China last week, and now we know a bit more about what it’s planning to do in the key market in terms of production. A the time, Tesla wouldn’t say much more beyond that i’s “committed to the Chinese market” and interested in exploring manufacturing facilities around the world. Tesla CEO Elon Musk went into a bit more detail on the earnings call for its Q3 results today.

“Don’t set your watch by this,” Musk said, but noted that “there’s a rough target of starting production in the next three years, and it would be serving the China market and some of the surrounding region.”
