One of the unnamed sources said the automaker has reportedly asked suppliers to prepare for a “double-digit increase” of Model Y output at its Shanghai factory.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the news agency.
The move to make a six-seater variant highlights pressure from domestic rivals, such as Nio, which recently launched its Onvo L60, which is targeted at families.
