Tesla Jinghu Super Charge Station will be unveiled

On April 21, Elon Musk, the founder and chief executive officer of Tesla, a senior electric vehicle, said: “We will set up our supercharger station here in Beijing and Shanghai. Let's set one up and it will open in the next few days. We want to build seven super-charged networks, and all supercharge stations will provide solar energy."

Recently, Musk, who has received much attention, appeared in the Beijing Zhongshan Park Concert Hall and participated in the recording of CCTV's "Dialogue" program, completing his first public appearance in China. On the 22nd and 23rd, he will attend the handover ceremony for the first batch of Chinese users in Beijing and Shanghai respectively. At the delivery ceremony, Musk will introduce more specific plans for setting up a solar supercharger station in China.

Musk revealed that Tesla Solar Supercharger will guarantee 24 hours of uninterrupted operation. Tesla's sales and services will be tailored to the Chinese market. He also stated that although Tesla has not yet launched in China, he is more concerned with long-term development and expects that some electric vehicles will achieve localized production in the next three to four years. “The most important message I want to convey is that we believe that China is a very, very important country and we will make a lot of investment in China to ensure that anyone who buys a car has a good experience.”

It is reported that Tesla's experience center and charging station in Shanghai have been initially completed and are located at Pudong Jinqiao Lantian Road. According to media reports, Tesla has built a solar charging station in Pudong, Shanghai, and its partner is JA Solar, which is listed on Nasdaq in the United States in 2007.

Prior to this, Tesla had announced that the starting price of the Model S 85kWh in China was RMB 734,000. Yesterday, for the outside view that Tesla’s price was still relatively expensive, Musk responded: “Our company’s goal has always been to make electric vehicles affordable to consumers. Our earliest model was a sports car that was able to There are fewer people who can afford it. Later we introduced a car with a lower price. In China, prices have risen further due to import taxes and so on. But in the United States it is only a mid-range car."

Musk stated that in the future Tesla’s third car will be sold at a lower price, which consumers can afford. “If we can all succeed in these three vehicles, the next step is to carry out large-scale production through technological innovation, because there is currently no way to build a large-scale factory, and the technology cannot be widely used.”

As far as the outside world is concerned that Tesla never issues advertising for marketing, Musk stated, "I think marketing is a very strange concept. I don't like it. I think marketing is like deceiving people to buy things," said Musk. "We don't need to increase demand through marketing. Demand already exists. We can't produce enough cars to satisfy it."

It is reported that due to capacity constraints, Tesla is currently in short supply. Musk had previously stated that due to capacity problems, they could only provide about 5,000 electric vehicles to the Chinese market this year. According to sources, Tesla’s order quantity in China has reached 5,000 vehicles, while Tesla refused to disclose the number of orders in China.

In addition to Tesla, Musk also founded SpaceX, an ambitious private space launch company, and photovoltaic company SolarCity. It is reported that SpaceX has received a US$1.6 billion contract from NASA and 12 space launch missions for NASA; SolarCity is deploying the world’s largest new energy charging network in the United States.

Recently talking about the future, Musk believes that there may be 4 million people living on Mars in the future, but the key is that the cost of going to Mars must be low enough that everyone can afford it. SpaceX must establish a basic infrastructure on Mars. There must be an airport where the rocket lands. The rocket can be refueled there so that everyone can live there.

“For us, the first thing to do is to make space travel cheap and to enable people to build their own businesses on Mars, including steelmaking on Mars. Entrepreneurs can carry out many innovations on Mars. To build a company, I think this is a cool thing."

Musk also predicted that the next five technologies may have a huge impact on human life: new energy, space, the Internet, artificial intelligence, and genes.
