In the past two years, as the hottest new energy car company in the world, Tesla's growth rate can be said to be like a rocket, and it is from the sales side, the brand side, the product side, and the energy supplement side. of.

　　As the head of Musk, he also knows very well, "At this moment, this hard-won achievement is absolutely inseparable from China's great help."

　　As an argument, in the just-concluded first quarter, Tesla delivered nearly 310,000 new cars around the world. According to the data released by the Passenger Federation, after including exports, it delivered a total of 182,000 new cars in China, accounting for 58.8% of the total.

　　At the same time, according to the documents submitted by Tesla to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in the first quarter of 2022, its revenue in China reached 4.65 billion US dollars, equivalent to about 30.5 billion yuan, compared with 3.04 billion US dollars in the same period last year. An increase of about 53%.

　　It can be said that the above-mentioned key data are all very strong.

　　But what was not expected is that since the end of March, as the location of its super factory, the sudden and severe epidemic in Shanghai has caught everyone by surprise. To this end, after more than 20 days of production suspension, a rough estimate of the loss of production capacity exceeded 50,000 units.

　　Fortunately, with the efforts of all walks of life, as a key enterprise in the "white list", Tesla's Shanghai factory has officially resumed work on April 19.

　　Later, according to Reuters, in a thank you letter to the Chinese government, it confirmed that a new factory will be built next to the existing factory, with an annual production capacity of 450,000 vehicles. After further inquiries by "Auto Commune", we learned that there will be a third-phase factory after the second-phase factory.

　　By then, Tesla's total production capacity in China will increase to a terrifying 2 million units per year. Seeing this, I can't help but sigh that the ambitions of this American new energy vehicle company have reached the point where they are ready to come out.

　　However, it will take some time before the final landing. And now, according to an internal memo revealed by Reuters, Tesla plans to start a "two-shift" production at its Shanghai factory from May 16, and do its best to restore its factory production capacity to before the epidemic. s level.

　　In addition, it is also hoped that through this measure, the daily output will be increased to 2,600 vehicles. Before that, the Shanghai plant was rumored to have a daily output of 2,100 vehicles. From this, it can be determined that in order to make up for the production capacity gap due to many force majeures, Tesla began to "chasing" through various means.

　　In the end, the only curious point is, what kind of sales report card will it hand over in April?
