But the fact is that Tesla's ambition has not been delayed at all, and the bright transcripts are coming again.
According to the latest news, after the close of trading on April 2, Tesla announced the automobile production and sales data for the first quarter. The data shows that Tesla * * * produced 10.27 million vehicles this quarter, down 2. 12% from the previous month and up about 33.17% year-on-year; 88,400 vehicles were delivered, down 2 1.07% from the previous month and up about 40.32% year-on-year.
Compared with Tesla's previous production and delivery, Lv Fei Automobile found that, as officially announced by Tesla, this was its best performance in the first quarter.
This performance is much higher than the delivery expectation that the organization is generally lower than 80,000 vehicles. Previously, it was generally expected that Tesla would deliver 77,000 to 79,000 vehicles in the first quarter, and the reason for this expectation was that in the first quarter when the Black Swan was flying all over the sky, Tesla's only two vehicle factories-the China factory and the fremont factory-were shut down because of the COVID-19 epidemic.
Fremont factory stopped production on March 24th, and stopped production for 8 days in the first quarter. After deducting the Spring Festival holiday in China, the Shanghai factory stopped production for 7 days in the first quarter, calculated according to the resumption time in February 10. However, it is obvious that the low delivery expectations based on the suspension of production are miscalculations, and Tesla's delivery volume and output have not dropped significantly due to the suspension of production of the two major factories.
In addition to giving the market a shot in the arm in hard power, Tesla has not stopped in the creation of "soft power".
On April 2nd, Tesla China announced the official certification of "Tesla China Cheyou Club". Anyone who is willing and meets the requirements and has registered and established a non-profit social organization according to law can submit the application materials through the person in charge of Tesla Marketing Department, Experience Center, Delivery Center, Service Center or the person in charge of the existing riders club as a referee.
In other words, Tesla officially began to collect the self-styled cyclist clubs scattered among the people and "renamed" them. After the compilation is completed, Tesla will lead the riders' club to cooperate and interact to form an official riders' community, "gathering more colleagues who recognize Tesla's concept, practicing and advocating Tesla's concept, and accelerating the transformation of the world to sustainable energy."
The regular army that has been "incorporated" will receive Tesla's official support for its club riders' activities, while the members of the certified club will enjoy the rights and interests of promoting seats, replacing priority services and participating in official environmental protection public welfare activities.
Some media pointed out that Tesla's move was intended to "please the car owners in China". After all kinds of turmoil, some people pointed out that Tesla "didn't learn well" and copied Weilai Automobile's over-emphasis on the "homework" operated by users. However, regardless of its original intention, according to Tesla's current momentum, it will not prevent it from selling more and more cars in China, and Tesla China's car owners will also become larger and larger.
In the first quarter of this year, Tesla's voice in China was too high. From the collective rise of Tesla concept stocks, to the resumption of work in the Shanghai factory, and then to shaking the door, the spotlight in the automobile circle seems to have been chasing Tesla. Now Tesla's report card proves that Tesla has not given up the wolf-like posture and achieved the desired results under the evaluation of merits and demerits.
But even if it is so high, so "please" China fans, there are still car owners who don't forget to remind them on social media: "Tesla fans have found an organization, and car owners who want to defend their rights should also set up a Tesla China Cheyou Rights Protection Club."
This seems to warn Tesla that it is time to take seriously the problems left over from the process of progress, whether it is riding the wind and waves or rushing to the wolves.
