Tesla Inc. is building 3,000 Model Y SUVs a week at its new Austin, Texas, factory — a sign that the electric-car maker is making up for lost time at the money-losing plant.
Tesla shared the new production figure in a tweet Thursday. The milestone comes a week after Bloomberg News reported that Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk had asked the head of the company’s China division to get the Austin factory up to speed.
