特斯拉超级工厂是电动汽车爱好者非常感兴趣的话题。无人机狗仔队多次让我们一睹特斯拉工厂的风采，以了解即将推出的车型的开发阶段。

但本月，无人机操作员可能会在上海超级工厂周围面临困难。据一名无人机飞行员介绍，从2023年6月1日起，该工厂的空中管制得到了加强和升级。这表明特斯拉很可能已经建立了避免空中窥探的机制。

无人机操作员吴娃估计，新款特斯拉 Model 3 正在接受“严格测试”，这可能是无人机在上海超级工厂飞行受到限制的原因。他说，无人机的飞行高度仅限于工厂周围30米，而且存在信号干扰。

吴娃在视频中说，他的无人机从距上海超级工厂 1.2 英里处起飞，但当他试图靠近时，遥控器失去了图传信号，屏幕变成灰色。他表示，经当地政府和中国无人机制造商大疆创新批准，无人机控制区域已扩大。

特斯拉可能正在该工厂测试Model 3 Project Highland 。或者它是否可能隐藏与价值 25,000 美元的大众市场电动汽车相关的业务？现阶段很难推测，但无人机限制表明 Giga 上海的活动是一个严格保守的秘密。

上个月，改款 Model 3 在加州进行了测试。它似乎重新设计了前大灯、尾灯和后扩散器。测试骡子似乎还为硬件 4 自动驾驶计算机更新了摄像头。此外，伪装原型车有一个垂直转向信号灯，而不是当前汽车上的水平 LED 指示灯。

特斯拉超级工厂周围对无人机的限制并不罕见。去年，一架无人机在柏林超级机场附近飞得异常高，迫使一架客机在试图降落在附近的柏林勃兰登堡机场时改变航线。德国《每日镜报》报道了这一事件，引发了对此事的正式调查。

今年年初，特斯拉出于不明原因禁止无人机在柏林超级工厂上空飞行，但允许飞行员远距离操作。特斯拉也有可能只是想避免上海超级工厂不安全的空中干扰。您对Giga上海的无人机控制有何看法？在评论中留下你的想法。

Tesla Model 3 Project Highland Might Be Undergoing Trials At Giga Shanghai

Tesla has restricted drone operation around Giga Shanghai, sparking speculations of the facelifted Model 3 being tested in China.

The Tesla Gigafactories are subjects of immense interest for electric vehicle enthusiasts. And drone paparazzi have given us glimpses into Tesla plants on many occasions for insights into the development stages of upcoming models.

But drone operators might face difficulties around Giga Shanghai this month. From June 1, 2023, the plant’s aerial control has been strengthened and upgraded, according to a drone pilot. This indicates that Tesla has likely established mechanisms to avoid prying eyes in the sky.

Drone operator Wu Wa estimates that a new Tesla Model 3 is under “intense testing,” which could be the reason why drone flying is restricted over Giga Shanghai. He says the flight height for drones is limited to 30 meters around the plant, and there’s signal interference.

His drone takes off 1.2 miles from Giga Shanghai, but as he attempts to get closer, the remote loses the picture transmission signal and the screen goes gray, said Wa in the video. The drone control area has been expanded with approval from the local government and Chinese drone maker DJI, according to him.

Tesla might be testing the Model 3 Project Highland at this facility. Or could it be hiding operations related to the $25,000 mass-market EV? It’s hard to speculate at this stage, but drone restrictions suggest that activities at Giga Shanghai are a tightly guarded secret.

Last month, the facelifted Model 3 was seen testing in California. It appeared to have redesigned headlamps, taillamps, and rear diffuser. The test mule also seemed to have updated cameras for the Hardware 4 Autopilot Computer. Moreover, the camouflaged prototype had a vertical turn signal, as opposed to the horizontal LED indicators on the current cars.

Drone restrictions aren’t uncommon around Tesla gigafactories. Last year, a drone flying unusually high around Giga Berlin forced a passenger aircraft to reroute while it was attempting to land at the nearby Berlin-Brandenburg airport. The instance, reported by the German newspaper Tagesspiegel, triggered a formal investigation into the matter.

Early this year, Tesla banned drones from overhead flyovers at Giga Berlin for unknown reasons but allowed pilots to operate them from a distance. It’s also possible that Tesla simply wants to avoid unsafe aerial interferences at Giga Shanghai. What are your thoughts on the drone control at Giga Shanghai? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
