Did BYD Han succeed in provocation? Tesla's plan to land in Chongqing quickly deserves the vigilance of truckers all over the country.

Recently, the hottest independent pure tram in the automobile circle may be BYD Korea. As the first pure electric vehicle equipped with BYD's "blade battery", BYD Han is obviously prepared, and it is aimed at Tesla.

Many people say that BYD Korea is benchmarking Tesla, just like Huawei and Apple in the mobile phone industry. However, no matter who is stronger or weaker, BYD Han or Tesla seems to have made new moves in China. According to relevant media reports, Tao Lin, global vice president of Tesla, and his party visited Chongqing and held talks with Liangjiang New Area. The two sides reached an understanding on cooperation in related projects.

Tesla executives visit Chongqing

According to Cailian News, on July 13, Duan Chenggang, member of the Standing Committee of Chongqing Municipal Committee, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Liangjiang New Area and director of the Management Committee, held talks with Tao Lin, global vice president of Tesla Corporation, and his party. The two sides conducted in-depth exchanges on accelerating project cooperation and reached broad consensus. Duan Chenggang said that Tesla is a global leader in new energy vehicles, and there is great room for cooperation with Liangjiang New Area, with good prospects. It is hoped that the two sides will further expand cooperation areas and implement pragmatic cooperation projects. Liangjiang New Area will make every effort to create good conditions and provide quality services.

The news of Tesla's high-level visit to Chongqing also made the industry begin to doubt whether there will be new cooperation between the two. As we all know, Tesla, an electric car manufacturer, has a super factory in Shanghai, China, which can produce about 200,000 cars every year. But, in Tesla's mode? With the continuous delivery of 3, its demand is also rising, and it is not impossible to build a new super factory.

However, it is still unclear whether Tesla will build a factory in Chongqing, but Tesla and Chongqing are still related. It is reported that as early as 20 18 1, Tao Lin contacted Liangjiang New District as Tesla's administrative director, which means that Tesla has been in contact with Chongqing Liangjiang for at least 2 years.

Why choose Chongqing?

As we all know, Chongqing is a famous "automobile city" in the industry. Automobile manufacturers have settled in Chongqing to set up factories, and even many well-known independent brands have been born here. For example, this is the base camp of Chang 'an, and other automobile brands such as Great Wall, Ford and Hyundai have set up factories in Chongqing.

It is reported that at present, Chongqing has formed 1 automobile enterprises led by Changan Automobile, Dongfeng Xiaokang, Changan Ford, Qingling Automobile and other 10 domestic and foreign mainstream automobile brands, covering1+/kloc-0+65 of more than 65,438 parts supporting manufacturers such as engines, transmissions and braking systems. It can be said that the automobile industry here is very eye-catching, both in terms of historical development and the future performance of Chongqing today.

Moreover, with the continuous development of new energy vehicles, Chongqing's automobile industry is also facing a major transition period. If Tesla's second largest factory can be built in Chongqing, it will definitely help Chongqing's automobile industry to develop faster.

Domestic electric vehicles usher in a new round of challenges

Of course, it is hard to say whether Tesla will set up a factory in Chongqing, but the pressure of independent brands on this "exotic species" can be imagined.

For many people, Tesla, born in Silicon Valley, USA, is the best one in the field of electric vehicles. Its advanced technology and customized production have become the objects sought after by many consumers. Moreover, Tesla acquired SolarCity, an American solar power generation system supplier, transforming Tesla into the only vertically integrated energy company in the world, providing customers with end-to-end clean energy products including Powerwall energy walls and solar roofs.

Undoubtedly, many independent new energy brands have been impacted by Tesla's previous factories in China and Shanghai. After all, compared with domestic electric vehicles, the price of Tesla is the most prohibitive thing, which is why many people are discouraged. However, since the Tesla model? After it was completely made in China, it was like opening a hook, and the sales volume climbed steadily, hitting record highs. The data shows that domestic models? In June, the sales volume reached 65,438+04,954 vehicles, accounting for 65,438+08,438+0% of the total sales volume of new energy in June. And it can sell more than 300,000 yuan to 1 10,000 electric vehicles every month. Who says such achievements are not scary?

Bianxiao language

Tesla's recent evaluation in China is not very good, and frequent quality problems have put Tesla in trouble. However, judging from the feedback in the market, everyone still buys Tesla while swearing, which has not affected its sales. Therefore, if Tesla's second factory is really built in Chongqing, it also means that domestic electric vehicles will usher in a new round of difficult challenges.
