Elon Musk said Chinese electric car makers will find “significant” success outside of China, even as his auto firm, Tesla, faces intense competition from these same companies. “Frankly, I think, if there are not trade barriers established, they will pretty much demolish most other companies in the world,” Musk said. Automakers including BYD, Nio and Xpeng have expanded sales outside of China in the last two years, looking to take on established brands https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/25/elon-musk-says-chinese-ev-makers-will-demolish-other-companies.html He meant to say they will demolish him and Tesla....but couldn´t find the right words.
I'm reasonably familiar with Chinese business thinking, in Australia we do lots of business with China, I have followed China business for many years. When Musk decided to run factories in China, I knew right away he had fucked up big time, Musk went into China blind, clueless, ignorant.
Got some odd-ball names for his kids right? Maybe the J.H.S. Stoner should apply to the courts to change his to E-want.
I thought he was for all EV adoption, Chinese or whatever. Maybe he should cash out of Tesla and buy, I dunno, Insta?
The message is not crystal clear. He means Tesla will soon be demolished unless the US imposes trade barrier.
Well thanks to his wonderful and generous technology transfer efforts by setting up shop in China. Now he manages to destroy not just his own Tesla but all brands of EV's all around the world. Thanks a lot, Elon!!
Tesla are competing in China well. The model Y is the most expensive best selling car in the world ever. There roadmap looks good. Compact with 48v architecture and steer by wire. Probably a new model 3/Y with 48v architecture and steer by wire. I will buy a model Y this year after the refresh as I think I am too tall for the compact and model 3. Wondering if there is enough room in my single garage to get to the charging port at the back.
