According to the OTAS news agency reported on February 27, Tesla electric vehicles have been in a state of short supply, the original construction of a super factory in Europe put into production, will alleviate the problem of tight production capacity, but there are still various problems in the plant production. Musk plans to continue expanding in China and build a second gigafactory, but one of his moves has also alarmed the Chinese side.
Tesla has also built a gigafactory in Europe, which was originally scheduled to start production in the summer of 2021, but they still have not been approved to produce the car. Tesla executives told the media that the super factory in Berlin, Germany, has been completed, the machinery and equipment have been debugged, and trial production has been carried out, but now the super factory still has not obtained a production license and cannot produce cars to the market. The local government of Berlin said that Germany has a certain planning process, which is not yet completed. In addition, Berlin is a water-scarce city, and local residents are worried that after Tesla starts production, it will affect the water supply in the area, and the residents' freedom of water may be restricted. The opposition of local residents is also an important reason why Tesla's gigafactory in Europe cannot be put into operation smoothly.
Tesla has been facing the problem of insufficient production capacity, before the Shanghai super factory was put into production, the company encountered great difficulties, there are a large number of orders, but in the United States factory capacity is very low, has been unable to deliver a large number of orders. After the Shanghai gigafactory was put into operation, Tesla's output climbed rapidly, not only to meet the needs of the Chinese market, but also to export a large number of Tesla vehicles to the European market. Tesla also set up factories in Europe in order to enhance its competitiveness in Europe, but apparently encountered obstacles before going into production. European countries have a large number of international car brands, but they have not been successful in terms of electrification. For European car companies, Tesla put into production one day late, and they have one more chance to occupy a larger market. Tesla's factories in Europe have encountered obstacles, and it intends to continue to expand production capacity in China.
It is reported that Tesla intends to build a second gigafactory in China, which will improve the delivery capacity of orders. At present, many Chinese cities are in contact with Tesla, hoping that the gigafactory can be landed. Tesla announced that after the completion of the second gigafactory, within 2 to 3 years, Tesla will develop and produce electric vehicles with a price of less than 200,000 to further enhance competitiveness. Tesla's plan has also aroused the vigilance of many Chinese companies. Tesla electric vehicles have achieved great success in the market, making many Chinese companies feel the crisis. If Tesla continues to expand its production capacity in China and continues to explore the price of the car, Chinese companies will face severe challenges.
Tesla's gigafactory in Shanghai has brought the company back to life, but not all regions have such preferential policies as the Chinese market. Tesla's factories in Europe have been unable to put into production, which obviously has nothing to do with the so-called procedures, nor has much to do with water shortages, and the real obstacle comes from European car companies. Tesla's expansion of production capacity in China has many impacts, on the one hand, it will bring more taxes and employment to the local government, but on the other hand, Tesla's market share in China will continue to expand, which will also affect the development of Chinese enterprises. How to balance it may be a test of wisdom.
