You're misreading this line:

"Gigafactory 3 is expected to start production of the Model 3 as early as September 2019 for the 2020 model year, and the Model Y will be manufactured there as well as in Fremont, California."

Here's what it says:

1. Model 3 production will begin in China as early as 2019.
2. Eventually the Model Y will also be made in China, but with no offered start date.

It seems simpler to test the production of the new Model Y in Fremont for making any adjustments.
The first models will be sold to employees, then California users.
