Under the dual pressure of various brands complaining about the "epidemic" and "chips", the whole environment was not good, Tesla had a wave of Versailles.
Tesla said shanghai has a good business environment and will build a new factory in China to double car production. Before everyone was speculating about where Tesla's new factory in China was going to be placed? Some say Shenyang, some say Qingdao, and now it is very clear that it is still in the magic capital. When the new plant goes into operation, Tesla's annual car production capacity will increase to 2 million units, which means that Tesla can already compete with traditional brands such as Volkswagen/Toyota, which also has factories in China.
Tesla is currently planning to start construction at its new shanghai factory as early as next month, and once the new plant is fully operational, Tesla will have the ability to produce up to 2 million cars per year through its China operations. Judging from the current news information, the new automobile production facility will be located near the Shanghai Gigafactory. It's unclear whether the new plant will be seen as a brand new gigafactory or as an extension of an existing gigafactory.
Of course, Tesla's confidence stems from sales, in January 2022, Tesla only one Model Y model, with a score of 33297 units, it can be said that the sales of Model Y alone is more than many new energy brands all models combined together. In addition, Tesla will produce 1 million vehicles in China this year, including the Model 3 sedan and Model Y.
Elon Musk also said at the shareholders' meeting that despite the supply chain problem, by 2022, Tesla's sales will easily increase by more than 50% compared with 2021, and set the target for 2030 at 20 million units, although it seems a bit of a dream now, but it is undeniable that Tesla has indeed brought unlimited possibilities on the electric vehicle track and led the entire market. As a high-end positioning of electric vehicles, Tesla has completely stepped on the electric vehicles of old traditional luxury brands such as BBA, and the premium system of luxury brands has completely collapsed. So what are the biggest obstacles to sales targets? What are Tesla's core strengths on its way to achieving its goals?
At present, Tesla has a total of 4 battery factories, the existing largest battery factory is the Gigafactory 1 in Nevada, the United States, mainly producing ternary lithium batteries, 2170 batteries and 4680 batteries, in addition, Tesla has invested in the construction of 3 battery factories, the 4680 battery test factory in California has made substantial progress, the power plant factory in Austin, the United States and the battery factory in Berlin, Germany are still under construction, mainly producing 4680 batteries, and continuing to promote self-development and self-production.
Friends Reviews:
In addition to the continued tight supply chain, factors such as subsidies and forced price increases due to rising costs are also the biggest challenges in the new energy market this year. There are indeed many uncertainties about whether the production and sales of the new energy vehicle industry can meet expectations this year. The Association predicts that in 2022, China's new energy passenger car sales will be 5.5 million, Tesla products belong to the high-end models, consumers' acceptance of price increases is higher than that of low-end models, so Tesla's impact on the terminal should not be very large, plus Tesla's Berlin and Texas factories in 2022 if they do not postpone the formal production, and then superimpose the original Fremont factory in the United States to contribute production capacity, Shanghai super factory after the expansion of production capacity, each factory capacity will be maximized after the realization of production and sales.
