And cooperation in the Wei to JAC track, officially put on the agenda will be produced on the occasion, it has been the "domestic" nearly two years of talks about Tesla suddenly pressed the jog key.
Recently, Tesla co-founder and CTO Jeffrey Brian Straubel said in public, until I see the new car Model X and Model 3 sales in China have significantly increased, it would not consider the matter of factories in China.
Haste makes waste. Tesla had ambitious Chinese are trying to find their own rhythm.
The degree of competition in the domestic market are also being intensified. Following Beiqi new energy, the little-known Yangtze cars made the second new energy automobile production "license." Like Tesla and waiting for production quality, but also to have a universal standard Tesla electric car. It is reported that the first model of universal acquisition will be named after Fisker Karma Revero, this electric car will be on sale in the US before the end of this year, and if nothing unexpected happens, will enter China in 2017, and with Tesla field athletics.
Domestic plan or delay
According to Tesla official sales data released in the first quarter, the first quarter of this year, Tesla produced a total of 15,510 new vehicles, an increase of 10% from the previous quarter. A quarter, Tesla delivered 14,820 new cars to customers worldwide, an increase of nearly 50%. As the world's most important market Tesla, the performance of the Chinese market is also rosy all the way. Data show that a quarter of the Chinese market, Tesla high-volume innovations, an increase of 300%.
Although China has become the second largest after the United States Tesla market, but its overall performance failed to increase the determination and confidence Tesla headquarters in China, made in China.
According to media reports, the International Transport Forum (ITF) Tesla co-founder and CTO Jeffrey Brian Straubel held in Leipzig, Germany 2016 summit (International Transport Forum (ITF) 2016 summit) indicates, the only Chinese market sales reached a certain size, construction of a factory where it makes sense.
For sales of the scale set by Tesla, Tesla China Reply Die Zeit correspondent, he said the time being does not publicly disclose the information and declined to comment on the domestic process.
According to April this year, Tesla Chinese financial public relations director Tao told Die Zeit reporter, saying, Tesla domestic plan in China is still in the early research phase.
In the 2015 Boao Forum for Asia, Tesla CEO elon Musk Again, three years will be the establishment of factories and R & D centers in China, the occasion of the 2017 Model 3 Listed achieve China-made. October 25 the same year, Tesla CEO elon Musk (Elon Musk) publish personal Twitter said Tesla Model 3 models will be launched in two years, while China will build the plant was first introduced a year after the Model 3 . Model 3 official production and delivery is scheduled in 2017, according to Musk statement projections, localization landing time was in 2018, which happens to overlap with the Model 3 year delivery time in China.
In January 2016, when Musk attend StartmeupHK Venture Forum in Hong Kong, he said in confirmation partners in China and domestic siting of this year.
Musk time from the mouth of the "year", leaving only a month.
Mainstream analysts believe that Tesla wanted to have a place in China's new energy vehicles, domestic is the only way, only domestic, can enjoy a variety of policy subsidies. In the future if China does domestically, the market is bound to be more and more marginalized.
However, from Tesla's perspective, the most important independent production of automotive components and vehicle operating software is one big advantage, if unable to obtain production quality domestic production of electric passenger cars, self-built production line, turn to the OEM mode of production, then these benefits will not be possible to play in China.
"The country's industrial policy is changing, especially for the qualification and cooperation of enterprises of new energy vehicles, how will the next evolution, we are doing research in this area. Secondly, still making cars is a complicated process, Although our techniques have made it considerably simplified, but still is very complicated from the production of key components to the final assembly, it may come in stages. we have to consider what local projects for its first stage, what place for its second phase, now also plan to do this again, I think there is a locally produced very important factor, in fact, associated with the demand, so I think the Model S3 is more suitable for local production. "Tesla China president Zhu Xiaotong in October last year to accept an interview with Die Zeit correspondent said so.
Financing energy expansion
For Tesla, it now the most important thing was to ensure that "explosion models" smooth production and delivery of Model 3.
The latest official data from the Tesla, as of May 18, the total number of orders for the Tesla Model 3 373 000, which is the result of deducting the number of orders canceled after 12 200. Of which 8000 consumers voluntarily canceled, and 4200 may be speculators repeat orders, be void Tesla aspect (one per purchase).
Currently, Tesla's production capacity is only about 50,000, in order to accelerate the realization of production capacity, Tesla is launching a new round of financing. According to Tesla May 18 announcement, it plans to raise funds through the issuance of 6.8 million new ordinary shares for Model 3 volume production, working capital and other corporate purposes, the target amount of $ 1.4 billion. If the underwriters over-allotment option is exercised in full, the total number of issued reached 8,236,685 shares, to raise funds of up to $ 1.7 billion.
In China, Model 3 is scheduled the same hot. According to Tesla's global vice president and Head of Asia Pacific Ren Yuxiang in April 28th Global Mobile Internet Conference revealed that China is second only to the United States Model 3 orders of the second largest market.
Domestic processes add another variable, or will become a catalyst for the expansion of Tesla channels in China.
So far, Tesla has opened 17 centers in mainland China experience, to further improve sales and service network. At the same time, China also accelerate the Tesla charging pile network construction, so far, Tesla has been established in China more than 400 super-charged and more than 1,200 destination charge pile pile, covering the north, east, south and Northwest, Southwest and other key areas.
Tesla sales director Wang Hao in an interview, said Tesla will build 10 new stores this year in the country, concentrated in the north of Guangzhou-Shenzhen and four first-tier cities. Which, according to Die Zeit reporter Tao Rong revealed that Guangzhou will be the second home experience center opened in June this year.
