🔧The rise in Tesla shares has been driven in part by the start of production late last year of the Model 3 sedan at a new factory in China. Those deliveries helped offset the setback Tesla suffered in March when officials in the San Francisco Bay Area ordered it to stop production at its lone U.S. car assembly plant to battle the Covid-19 outbreak.
激勵特斯拉股價上漲的推動力之一是該公司在中國新建的工廠，於去年年底開始生產Model 3轎車。這些車輛的交付有助於抵消了特斯拉今年3月份在美國遭遇的挫折。當時為對抗疫情，舊金山灣區的政府官員下令停工特斯拉在美國唯一的汽車組裝廠。
-in part: 一部分
-delivery: 交付、出貨
-offset: 抵銷
💰The company, as part of Mr. Musk’s effort to turn Tesla from a niche car company into a mainstream vehicle maker, is pressing ahead with the construction of its first European factory near Berlin and last month said it would build another in the U.S. in Austin, Texas, one of the few new major car assembly plants to be built in the U.S. in the past decade.
馬斯克努力將特斯拉從一家小眾汽車公司轉變為主流汽車製造商，目前正在推進歐洲第一家工廠的建設，該工廠選址位於柏林近郊。上個月也宣布將在美國德州奧斯汀再建一家工廠，這將是過去10年來少數設址於美國的大型汽車組裝廠之一。
-niche: 小眾的、利基的
-mainstream: 主流的
-car assembly plant: 汽車組裝廠
