Right now, every Tesla car is made right here in the United States — and specifically in California.
This, however, is about to change…
Naturally, these cars are sold to other countries as well, and that includes places that don’t manufacture them. Just this year, Tesla sold over 3,000 of its cars in China.
So, it only makes sense that Tesla’s going to start manufacturing its product in China, just like other global car makers.
You might have even caught Elon Musk’s recent remarks that Tesla could start producing cars in China as soon as two years from now.
That certainly bodes well for consumers, considering that it’ll cut retail prices by about a third.
In fact, Tesla is already working with Baidu — a major Internet company in China — to improve the cars’ navigation and automated driving features.
Battery production won’t be an issue by then, as the Gigafactory in Nevada is slated to start producing its lithium-ion batteries next year, and will likely be operating at full capacity in roughly two or three years.
That is perfect timing for the manufacturing of these cars in China.
The goal, obviously, is to market the product to as many people as possible. With only one production plant, that may as well be impossible.
Having a plant in China opens the theoretical door of opportunity. The product will reach a greater number of consumers than ever before.
