The pride of Made in the USA, Tesla, is becoming more and more Chinese. Now it's known. But the latest sales data from last month are truly impressive: Tesla sold something like 94,139 cars in China, an increase of 68.7% compared to the previous year.
Data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) speak clearly and deliveries of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles manufactured in China increased by 14.2% compared to November. Not only that: if we consider that the Tesla plant in Shanghai is capable of producing 1.1 million car units per year (especially Model 3 and Model Y), we are almost at the limit of maximum production capacity. And this means that the development plans of the home of the great wall in China, with the opening of new gigafactories, become increasingly strategically important.
So Chinese Teslas, in addition to obviously ending up in China, increasingly end up in countries like New Zealand, Australia and Europe. With all due respect to the fans of American cars.
But there's more: for Tesla, China is a very important country even for the most complex policies. It is no coincidence that, at the beginning of last year, Tesla started a price war in China. It was the start of a huge battle, which ultimately involved more than 40 brands and dealt a serious blow to the industry's profitability.
