[QUOTE]Tesla is working with the Shanghai Municipal Government to explore the possibility of establishing a manufacturing facility in the region to serve the Chinese market. As we have said before, we expect to more clearly define our plans for production in China by the end of the year. Tesla is deeply committed to the Chinese market, and we continue to evaluate potential manufacturing sites around the globe to serve the local markets. While we expect most of our production to remain in the US, we do need to establish local factories to ensure affordability for the markets they serve.[/QUOTE]

This is big.

This may actually account for a 1/3s of all of their sales.

Good on them.

Now comes what I wanted to see. With factories on both sides of the pond it would be interesting to see how well built an identical model from China will be.
