In the past year, Tesla has reaped a lot of success in the Chinese market, not only delivering nearly 500,000 vehicles in China, but also increasing revenue by 107.8% to US$13.844 billion (about 88 billion yuan).
Taking advantage of such a high momentum of victory, Musk said that he was going to build a second gigafactory in Asia, so everyone speculated about who the second factory would spend, China, South Korea, or Japan.
According to a survey data by Gesta motors, 80% of respondents believe that Tesla will build a second factory in China, because China has the benchmark of The Shanghai Gigafactory, coupled with the surge in demand in the mainland, the industrial chain and labor costs have obvious advantages. Subsequently, there were market rumors that tesla's second factory site may be located in Wuhan, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Qingdao and other cities.
The palms of his hands and the backs of his hands are all meat, and Musk saw that everyone guessed so vigorously that he had to say that he would announce it at the end of the year. In addition, CATL and BYD won all tesla electric battery orders in 2022, which made South Korean companies such as LG New Energy and Samsung SDI feel a sense of crisis.
Watching Tesla's days in China get more and more moist, South Korea shot and prepared to punish Tesla heavily, on the grounds that it exaggerated the mileage of most models, and also gave an example that the Model 3 officially marked a single charge range of up to 528 kilometers, but after testing, if the temperature drops below the freezing point, the vehicle's endurance is much lower than this number.
However, the analysis points out that most electric vehicles in extremely cold weather, the endurance shrinkage is a very normal thing. When the weather is cold, the Apple mobile phone will automatically shut down. In addition, South Korea also punishes Tesla for not returning the deposit, it is reported that South Korean consumers need to pay a deposit of 100,000 won to book a Tesla car, but if the order is canceled, this deposit will not be refunded.
