See inside Tesla's flashy delivery ceremony for its first Chinese-made Model 3s - which even featured a flower-filled wedding proposal

Tesla's China chief Zhu Xiaotong was on hand to oversee the delivery.

In China, Tesla has offered racing events and showroom parties to drum up demand for its electric vehicles, and Monday's event was no exception — a big shift from its US approach.

"From now onwards China-made Model 3 vehicles will start running on China's large streets and small lanes," Tesla Vice President Tao Lin said at the delivery ceremony which was attended by employees and Shanghai government officials.

One employee even proposed to his girlfriend at the ceremony. One car was filled with flowers for the occasion.

She said yes.

Tesla is also building service centers and charging stations across the country to assure customers of standardized after-sales service, Tesla's senior executives said, confirming a Reuters report on the plans published last month.

It also plans to double the number of service centers and fast charging stations in China next year, in addition to doubling its after-sales workforce to 1,500 from about 600 currently, the executives added.

Wang, the general manager, also told reporters the plant had achieved a production target of 1,000 units a week, or around 280 cars a day, and that sales for the China-made sedan had so far been "very good".
