Recently, the Association of Automobile Manufacturers released february sales data, Tesla wholesale sales of 56,515 vehicles, this is the sixth consecutive month of its sales exceeded 50,000 vehicles. Among them, it also includes 33,315 tesla export deliveries, an increase of 339% year-on-year. Such achievements are particularly conspicuous, and who will be settled in Tesla's second factory also makes people full of expectations and associations.
According to the data released by the Association of Passenger Vehicles, after subtracting the number of exports, Tesla's wholesale volume in China is 23,200 vehicles. If you compare the sales of new energy vehicles of various car companies, including plug-in hybrid models, BYD is currently the sales champion. However, Tesla is all pure electric vehicles, if the pure electric vehicle sales as a caliber comparison, then tesla still maintains the position of sales champion. And all this is based on the success of Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory.
It is worth noting that the report card handed over by Tesla in China was made by a local team composed of Chinese. Tesla said that 99% of the talents in the whole industry chain, from front-line operators to service system personnel, to cutting-edge technical talents, and even new energy industry managers, are Chinese.
In fact, for Tesla at present, in addition to sales, another hot topic is which city will be chosen by China's second gigafactory. This is critical for Tesla. For Musk, the success of the Shanghai Gigafactory has freed him from the torture of "production capacity hell", and even got rid of the desperate situation that the company's cash flow is about to break.
The success of Tesla also allows everyone to see the effect that the new energy vehicle project can drive the local economy and industrial clusters.
AutoVIEW learned from Tesla that at present, under the pull of Tesla, Lingang New Area has built a "safe, autonomous and controllable" industrial ecology covering the whole ecological field of new energy vehicles such as automobile chips, automatic driving systems, automotive interiors, body, new materials, precision machining, etc., becoming the first 100-billion-level industry.
It is estimated that by 2025, the scale of the intelligent new energy automobile industry in the new area will exceed 300 billion yuan, becoming a cluster of intelligent new energy automobile industry with global influence.
So who Musk's gigafactory "hydrangea ball" will throw to has become a hot topic, stirring up nerves in different aspects from time to time. At present, as the object of scandal, including Chongqing, Tianjin, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Hefei, Xi'an are on the list. Not long ago, it was revealed that Tesla's second factory in Asia may be located in Shanghai again, but it has not been confirmed.
