Strengthening its own confidence in the ability to increase the volume of electric vehicles, Tesla is ready to build up to 10-20 enterprises around the world. Recently, India was on the list of possible locations for new plants, and from day to day the question of choosing a location for the construction of an enterprise in China, as specified by Bloomberg, with reference to informed sources, may be decided. Negotiations are conducted with the Shanghai authorities, who are ready to provide a site for the construction of the Tesla enterprise in one of the special economic zones. Under the current requirements, Tesla will have to create a joint venture with one of the local automakers.
China is now experiencing an electric boom, which, although slowed by the abolition of government subsidies, is unlikely to unfold the trend. Tesla is still forced to pay 25% of import duties on electric vehicles, which does not make its products cheaper for end users. In addition, the appearance of the enterprise in China will shorten the delivery time of the ready-made electric vehicles to local customers. The interests of the largest car market in the world are difficult to ignore. Moreover, five percent of Tesla's shares have recently belonged to the Chinese Internet giant Tencent Holdings.
