(Yicai Global) Oct. 26 -- Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai will ship its first batch of China-made Model 3s to Europe tomorrow.

The 7,000 cars are expected to arrive in Belgium by Nov. 30, the Paper reported, after the California-based automaker held a ceremony today. They will be sold to buyers in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, and other European countries.

The factory, which is Tesla’s first outside of the United States, has weekly Model 3 output of as much as 4,000, Shanghai’s Deputy Mayor Chen Yin said at the event. By last month, the plant had produced more than 85,000 units worth about CNY21.6 billion (USD3.2 billion).
