Het zou kunnen en is ook logisch dat Tesla de eerste model Y gaat bouwen in Cailifornië, namelijk in Lathrop:

Will Tesla Build Model Y In Lathrop?
Summary
I explore the likelihood that Tesla will build Model Y cars in Lathrop, CA, with first production toward the end of 2019.
I explain why Tesla is likely to begin production in Shanghai with the Model 3 around Q4 2019.
Grading and construction are underway in China, and a new 870k sq ft building is nearing completion of the shell in Lathrop, CA.
Circumstantial evidence implies the Model Y styling may be a "Shooting Brake" aka Station Wagon Sport Coupe.
Tesla may receive $2B+ cash infusion in March for Model Y pre-orders, providing a surprise cash infusion likely to be reported during Q1 2019 Earnings Call in early May.
Summary
This article explores the possibility that Tesla (TSLA) will begin building the Model Y cars in two buildings now under construction in Lathrop, CA, and Shanghai, China. This opinion differs from most journalists that think the Model Y will be built in the US at the Gigafactory in Sparks. I consider the recent comment by the mayor of Shanghai that claimed production in the Shanghai factory will begin by the end of 2019.
Tesla may bring in more cash for the Model Y than the ~$400M that was deposited for the Model 3. The potential exists for 2 million Model Y reservations to be received generating up to $2 billion cash infusion in March and April 2019.
This article also explores the possibility that the Model Y styling will be a "Shooting Brake" or Station Wagon Sport Coupe variant of the Model 3. Technically, a "Shooting Brake" has 2 doors while the Tesla and other cars called "Shooting Brakes" do have 4. I use the term in this article interchangeably with the US term "Station Wagon", no doubt to the dismay of some.
Where will Tesla build the first Model Y production line?
There are two simple facts I believe govern where the development of the Model Y production line will take place:
- It is easier to get a new production line working close to home.
- It is easier to duplicate a working production line than to figure out how to build it in the first place.
Whatever "hell" Tesla experienced getting the Model 3 production line working, it would have been far worse if the company had attempted to build that production line in China.

Lathrop fabriek of logistiek centrum is nog in bouw maar het zal niet meer lang duren. Dat leent zich alvast voor een loopband voor een model Y preproductie:

Testexemplaren kunnen dan reeds gereden worden in USA.
De Model Y-fabriek in Shanghai zal wat langer duren: (maar met Chinezen weet men nooit), met flyover video van de plaats. De ondoorzichtige omheining voor de pottekijkers is ondertussen af.

The timeline for the start of production has been unclear, but CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla is aiming to bring ‘some parts of Model 3 production’ to China as soon as next year.
Earlier this month, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Shanghai Ying Yong stated that Tesla “basically completed land leveling and is about to start construction” at Gigafactory 3. The project is “expected to be partially put into operation in the second half of next year.”
Now a new drone flyover of the factory site shows that Tesla indeed made some progress leveling the large piece of land and it started construction work:
