According to the Global Times reported on January 5, on the last day of last year, Tesla's new store successfully opened in Xinjiang, China. As soon as the news came out, it aroused a lot of attention at home and abroad. Not only did the foreign media clamor for this matter, but the US lawmakers personally went down to attack Tesla.
On December 31, 2021, Tesla announced the opening of the first Tesla center in Xinjiang, the Urumqi Tesla Center, today, which is also a symbol of Tesla's official layout of offline stores and service networks in Xinjiang. Xiao Lu, head of Tesla's northwest region, said that the Urumqi Tesla Center is an important starting point for Tesla to develop a service network in Xinjiang, not only providing one-stop services for local consumers, but also continuing to spread the green environmental protection concept of "energy saving and carbon reduction" to the northwest region. The Urumqi Tesla Center is Tesla's first store in Xinjiang, the 11th store in the northwest region, and the 211th store in the country, covering Chinese mainland 60 cities.

Tesla attaches great importance to the market in Xinjiang and the northwest region, and continuously expands its service network in the northwest region. In addition to the Urumqi Tesla Center, which opened this time, Tesla has also opened 11 stores in Xi'an, Lanzhou, Yinchuan and other places, entering the lives of more northwest consumers.
In recent years, Tesla has accelerated the layout of the northwest charging network construction. Tesla has built 2 supercharger stations and 14 super charging piles in Urumqi, and in the whole territory of Xinjiang, Tesla has built and opened 7 super charging stations and 36 super charging piles, with 6 destination charging stations and 12 destination charging piles, through the rapidly expanding charging network, as well as the popularity of home charging piles and the compatibility of third-party charging piles, so that local car owners and car owners traveling to Xinjiang can charge worry-free.
The same American companies, regarding Xinjiang, Wal-Mart, Sam and Tesla's approach is very different: Wal-Mart, Sam removed all goods related to Xinjiang's origin, while Tesla announced the establishment of a comprehensive service center in Xinjiang.
Wal-Mart's approach is obviously accompanied by ideology from the United States, and Tesla's approach should be made after studying the laws of the United States, and it is estimated that all tesla parts and vehicle manufacturing have nothing to do with Xinjiang.
Tesla opened a store in Xinjiang, and eventually attracted the attention of western media, some Western media believe that Tesla in order to make a profit, even openly violated the domestic laws of the United States, there is no bottom line, some media believe that Tesla is selling products in Xinjiang, and does not buy products and services from Xinjiang, so it does not violate the domestic laws of the United States.
According to the Wall Street Journal reported on the 4th, in response to how to view Tesla's opening of stores in Xinjiang, the US White House National Security Council said in a statement that the committee would not comment on a company's relevant moves, but generally believed that the private industry should oppose the "human rights violations" and "genocide" activities carried out by the Chinese government in Xinjiang.
The Tesla center settled in Xinjiang, and many Chinese people also questioned it, worried that Musk, an American, was uneasy and kind! In fact, for this matter, we must have more self-confidence, China's economy has developed to today, the degree of internationalization is very high, and almost all countries in the world have investment in China.
Tesla's stores across the country have covered more than 60 cities. Many people think that tesla centers are located in Xinjiang, Musk may have deeper considerations, as for what the purpose is, in short, in addition to making money, it is not necessarily ill-intentioned!
