Tesla has been building new car manufacturing capacity in Shanghai to make its Model Y SUVs and applied for the sales permission earlier this month, the report said.
It started delivering Model 3 vehicles made in Shanghai last December and sold more than 13,000 vehicles in China in October.
The company has started exporting China-made Model 3s to Europe and said last week it plans to also start making electric vehicle chargers in China in 2021, Reuters noted.
