Recently, Tesla disclosed the company's revenue data in major markets around the world. In 2021, Tesla's global revenue was nearly $53.823 billion, of which the revenue in the Chinese market reached $13.844 billion, a year-on-year increase of 107.8%. In 2020, Tesla's Revenue in the Chinese Market was $6.662 billion, compared to $2.979 billion in 2019, with rapid growth in the past three years.
China has become Tesla's largest market outside the United States, accounting for 25.7% of Tesla's revenue; the United States is still Tesla's most important market, Tesla's US market revenue in 2021 reached $23.973 billion, accounting for 44.55% of the company's total revenue.
Behind tesla's sharp increase in revenue, the Shanghai Gigafactory has contributed indispensable. Since Tesla officially finalized the establishment of its first overseas super factory in the Lingang area of Shanghai in 2018, Shanghai has completed a series of complex tasks such as land transfer, planning, approval, construction and acceptance with great efficiency. From the official start of the factory on January 7, 2019, to the completion and acceptance of October 25, 2019, and then to the delivery of the first batch of domestic Model3 internal employees on December 30, 2019, it took only 11 months to achieve the breakthrough from foundation laying to vehicle delivery, creating "Shanghai Speed" and "China Speed".
In stark contrast, Tesla's second overseas gigafactory, the Berlin factory in Germany, has been postponed many times, from Tesla CEO Musk announcing the establishment of a factory in Berlin in 2019, to the completion time has been delayed again and again due to environmental protection, land and other reasons. The follow-up was finally completed in October 2021, but it has not yet been officially put into production, in contrast, tesla Shanghai gigafactory construction can be described as extremely high-quality and efficient.
In 2021, Tesla delivered a total of 936,000 units worldwide, of which 484,130 units were delivered in China alone, accounting for 51.7%, more than half. Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory will produce more than 480,000 new energy vehicles and export 160,000 vehicles in 2021, becoming Tesla's largest production base and export base in the world, not only supplying the mainland market, but also becoming the largest supplier in the European market. That's even more than Tesla's base, the Fremont Gigafactory in California, which will produce 450,000 units in 2021. In 2012, the Fremont plant had built the first Model S, and after the expansion, production still lagged behind the Shanghai plant with a difference of 30,000 units.
In recent years, Shanghai's financial industry and high-end service industry have flourished, which to some extent has overshadowed Shanghai's long-term status as an industrial manufacturing town. In that year, in order to introduce Tesla, Shanghai not only provided high-quality policies and land resources, but also achieved construction, completion and production in less than a year with high administrative efficiency and business environment. At that time, there were also voices questioning that the introduction of Tesla would have an impact on the domestic new energy automobile industry, at present, the impact may be there, but just as when the mainland first joined the WTO, it was worried that foreign car brands would crush local brands, but the result did not lead to the collapse of the mainland automobile industry, but became a fully competitive and benign development of the industry. With the help of Tesla's brand advantages and the advantages of the mainland's complete industrial chain, Shanghai has established a complete new energy vehicle industry chain, and the localization rate of parts in Tesla's Shanghai factory is as high as more than 90%, exceeding 73% of the California factory in the United States.
Shanghai focuses on the construction of a world-class automobile industry center. In 2021, the output of automobiles reached 2.833 million units, an increase of 7%, with an output value of 758.6 billion yuan, an increase of 21.1%. Among them, the output of new energy vehicles reached 632,000 units, an increase of 160%, and the output value was 177.26 billion yuan, an increase of 190%. At the same time, Shanghai clearly proposed that by 2025, the output of new energy vehicles will exceed 1.2 million, the output value will exceed 350 billion yuan, and the proportion of pure electric vehicles in the newly donated sales vehicles will exceed 50%.
In the new energy vehicle track, compared with foreign counterparts, there is no generational gap in the mainland, and some fields are even globally leading. In the era of increasingly fierce competition, how to better create core advantages and seize opportunities for domestic brands needs to work harder!
Come on!
