On May 9, Tesla China today released the "Tesla 2021 Impact Report", which disclosed the cost of product use, green factories, recruitment and employee benefits.
About products and cost of ownership
According to Tesla, the all-wheel-drive version of the Model Y is one of the most efficient pure electric SUVs to date, which can travel 6.76km per kWh under EAP conditions, and Tesla can drive longer with the same power.
In addition, in terms of unit mileage, Tesla's holding cost is almost equivalent to that of economic fuel vehicles, lower than that of luxury brand fuel vehicles of the same class, and the vehicle has a high retention rate of used cars in electric vehicles.
Based on the Model 3 model's 5-year drive of 96,600 kilometers, the cost of each vehicle driven 1.6km has just crossed the "4 yuan line", although it is higher than that of economic fuel vehicles, but it is far lower than that of luxury brand fuel vehicles of the same level. Costs include all costs incurred for vehicle depreciation (depreciation costs), rates, loans, insurance, tires, repairs, maintenance, and fuel (electricity or fuel).
About the safety of the product
Tesla said that in 2021, 0.22 accidents were recorded per million miles with the use of the Autopilot feature. For drivers who did not use the Autopilot feature, 0.77 accidents were recorded for every million miles traveled. By comparison, the latest NHTSA data shows that the average U.S. has 1.81 crashes per million miles traveled. Tesla Autopilot auto assisted driving makes driving safety 8.23 times the U.S. average.
In addition, in terms of the risk of vehicle thermal runaway, Tesla has reduced the probability of fire in the vehicle by continuously optimizing the active and passive safety design. During the 2012-2021 period, the probability of Tesla fire is about 1/11 of the U.S. average, and about one Tesla car fire will occur every 205 million kilometers traveled.
About recruitment and employee benefits
Tesla said it received more than 3 million job applications from potential employees last year. Tesla said in the report that by attracting, nurturing and retaining talented people, the company has had a diverse and outstanding candidate, while fostering an inclusive culture that supports them once they become employees.
Over the past few years, the number of potential employees at Tesla has increased, and interest in joining the company has never been higher. In 2019, Tesla received about 750,000 job applications. In 2020, that number grew to about 2.25 million applications, and again to more than 3 million by 2021.
Tesla said that employees can enjoy comprehensive medical insurance, employee physical and mental balance plan, employee car purchase and FSD, free shuttle and lunch and other benefits.
