In late February, Zotye Automobile, which had not been paid attention for a long time, once again attracted media attention.
It is reported that Zotye Automobile has acquired Shanghai Junqu Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. and is ready to launch a high-end new energy vehicle market.
The Shanghai Junqu Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., acquired by Zotye, is inextricably linked to Bojun Automobile, a new car manufacturer that has filed for bankruptcy.
In short, whether it is Zotye or Bo County, they do not want to be eliminated by the car market in this era of undercurrents.
However, the difficulties faced to get back on their feet can be imagined.
Just recently, there was news on the Internet that Tesla was going to acquire Zotye Automobile.
At the same time, a screenshot of a document stamped with the official seal of Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was also circulated.
The general content of this document is that Tesla is going through the process and procedures of acquiring Zotye.
More importantly, the document is not only stamped with the official seal of Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., but also signed by Zhu Xiaotong, president of Tesla Greater China.
But soon, Tesla's global vice president Tao Lin responded on social media that Tesla's acquisition of Zotye was naked fake news.
At the same time, she also said that the official seal and signature of the document were also forged.
At this point, it can be roughly determined that the news about Tesla's acquisition of Zotye should be a figment.
However, for Tesla at present, it does face a real problem, that is, production capacity.
It is understood that the current monthly production capacity of Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory is about 50,000 vehicles, and Tesla has sold more than 50,000 units for many consecutive months.
More importantly, all the models produced by Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory, in addition to supplying the domestic market, about 60% of the vehicles are exported to the European market.
In this way, Tesla's construction of a second factory in China is imminent.
Regarding the location of Tesla's second factory, there are also many opinions on the Internet.
In the past year, there have been Guangzhou, Wuhan, Qingdao, Xi'an, Zhengzhou and Hefei and other cities, and the news of building Tesla's second factory has been reported.
Especially in the middle of February this year, there was news that Tesla's second factory was going to settle in Shenyang.
But soon, Tesla denied the news.
With the continuous improvement of sales, even if it does not acquire Zotye, Tesla's next step is to face the most important problem, which is still to select a site to build a factory to increase production capacity.
