Tesla Semi in China

When/if is Tesla Semi going to made in China @ Giga Shanghai for the Asian market? Huge market opportunity.

Giga Shanghai keeps expanding so I'm wondering if producing the Tesla Semi is in the plans?

My guess is Tesla has already made plans for the Semi at Giga Shanghai. China is planning on going all-electric which includes large trucks. Why would Tesla miss out on such an opportunity?

Seems like battery supply is the issue.
Just the USA market for the Semi and smaller utility vehicles is gigantic.
In Asia even bigger market for a single motor slightly smaller utility rigs.
I'm in Thailand there's a huge need for cheap three wheeled utility rigs already being made in China. Problem is a 100% import duty by a brain dead government that panders to the domestically made toyota/isuzu/nissan/ford small diesel guzzling turds.
Likely one of the reasons Elon Musk abandoned his Thailand factory, government stoopids. The stupidity here is off the chart.
