A mere car factory? R&D hub in fact.
Tesla to launch China R&D center in 2021
Tesla Inc's China R&D center is expected to become operational later this year in Shanghai, as the United States carmaker continues to deepen its localization strategy in the world's largest new energy vehicle market.www.chinadaily.com.cn
These two :
It is recruiting engineers for such functions as design, styling, software and vehicle engineering as well as test and validation.
1. What does the underlined mean ?"The goal of Tesla's team in China is to design, develop and produce new vehicle models and products with Chinese cultural elements in China and sell them globally," said Tesla in the recruitment post.
2. About the under-recruitment engineers I don't think these people will do anything more than Tesla's designers and engineers in the West. There are Western technological companies' branches in India which also claim to be R&D centers but I don't think a single innovation has emerged from these branches. Likewise for this Chinese R&D center.
Tesla is revolution. It has reshaped automobile trends around the world.
I agree with you that Tesla opened the door so please do read my post# 57 about NDB and EVs and the section before it about my thoughts about vehicles.
