2019 timelineThe year in brief
Giga Shanghai broke ground in January and was building Model 3s by December. Tesla unveiled the Model Y in March and the Cybertruck in November, when Germany (near Berlin) was chosen for its European factory. Basic Autopilot became standard on every new Tesla from April, and from July Tesla began a run of four profitable quarters in a row.
