(Shanghai Comprehensive News) People familiar with the matter revealed that American electric car giant Tesla is considering selling electric vehicles made in China to the United States and Canada.This reflects the continuous deepening of the cost advantage of Tesla Shanghai, but it also shows that the demand for Chinese consumers has slowed down.
Reuters on Saturday (November 12) quoted two anonymous people who reported that Tesla has been evaluating that it is impossible to launch Model Y and Model 3 manufactured by Shanghai Super Factory in North America next year.Matters include whether the parts produced by Chinese suppliers meet the United States and plus regulations.
Tesla did not immediately respond to the comment request, but Tesla founder Musk immediately tweeted that Reuters reported "false", but did not further explain.
Tesla Shanghai Super Factory has been upgraded earlier this year, which can produce 1.1 million electric vehicles an annual output.The Model Y and Model 3 produced by the factory are sold in China and sold to Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia.
Chinese cars are sold to the United States with potential cost competitiveness
People familiar with the matter said that the decline in the exchange rate of the RMB, the low price of Chinese raw materials, and the rise in the price of Tesla and new cars in the United States, have made Chinese -produced cars selling the United States with potential cost competitiveness.
As of now, Tesla has been producing electric vehicles sold in North America in Felimon and Austin, California.Tesla currently plans to improve the production capacity of the Berlin plant that opened earlier this year to reduce China's export demand.
