Elon Musk says Tesla will export cars from its new China factory and that could help it avoid further trade war pain
Tariffs aside, profit margins could be much higher — upwards of 30% — for Shanghai-built cars, analysts at Morgan Stanley estimated last year.
"We are of the opinion that the new Shanghai Gigafactory has the potential to show how inefficient Tesla's current production assets are relative to competitors and see scope for the Shanghai Gigafactory to be one of the more profitable auto factories in the world,"And as Shanghai comes fully online, Tesla is also beginning to build a factory near Berlin, Germany.
"Gigafactory Shanghai will be the first Tesla gigafactory outside the United States," Musk said at the event, "and it will be the most advanced gigafactory as well. We want to make this factory extremely environmentally sustainable, and for this to be a showpiece for the world."
