Tesla Chair Defends China Presence as Key to 20 Million-Car Goal - 14 septembrie 2022
Tesla Inc. Chair Robyn Denholm has defended the US electric carmaker’s focus on China and plans to expand further there, saying reaching a goal of making 20 million vehicles a year by 2030 will require manufacturing capabilities on every continent.
Tesla has set a goal of manufacturing 20 million electric cars a year by 2030, up from the just under the 1 million vehicles it produced in 2021.The Shanghai upgrade alone doubled the plant’s annual capacity to about 1 million units. Tesla initially enjoyed a red carpet entry to China when it entered the country in 2018 -- winning tax breaks, cheap loans, permission to wholly own its domestic operations and help constructing the Shanghai gigafactory at breakneck speed. That helped Tesla turn China into its most important market outside the US.
