華爾街日報：Tesla將在上海獨資建廠 - 汽車

原文標題：

Tesla reportedly strikes deal with China to build ‘wholly-owned’
gigafactory in Shanghai

據報Tesla和中國達成協議，將在上海獨資建立超級工廠

There have been several false alarms over the past few years about Tesla
building a factory in China. Earlier this year, Tesla finally confirmed
working with the Shanghai government to establish a manufacturing facility in
the region and promised an announcement by the end of the year.

過去幾年，有過好幾次Tesla要在中國建廠的傳聞
今年初，Tesla終於確認了將會與上海市政府合作並預計於年底公布

Now the Wall Street Journal reports that they have come to an agreement with
the local authorities on a “wholly owned” factory in the region.

現在華爾街日報報導說，他們已經就在當地建立獨資工廠一事達成了協議

As previously reported, the biggest roadblock for foreign automakers to
establish manufacturing capacity in China is that they have to create joint
ventures with domestic companies and split their profits and technologies
with them.

對於國外汽車製造商來說，在中國建廠最大的阻礙就是必須與當地企業合資

The government has been talking about potentially relaxing those laws
especially for the production of electric vehicles, but the company
apparently went another way instead.

(中國)政府過去一直在談論要為電動車放寬這些法律
但顯然(Tesla)公司用了別的方法頂替

According to the WSJ report, Tesla will establish the factory in Shanghai’s
free-trade zone:

根據華爾街日報的報導，Tesla將在上海自由貿易區建立工廠

“The deal with Shanghai’s government will allow the Silicon Valley auto
maker to build a wholly owned factory in the city’s free-trade zone, these
people said. This arrangement, the first of its kind for a foreign auto
maker, could enable Tesla to slash production costs, but it would still
likely incur China’s 25% import tariff.”

上海政府允許Tesla在自貿區建立獨資工廠，這對於國外汽車製造商來說是首例
這可以降低生產成本，但仍然有可能必須繳納25%的關稅

Tesla didn’t comment on the report and reiterated that an official
announcement should be coming later this year.

Tesla並沒有對這則報導發表評論，並重申今年稍晚才會正式公布

==============================================================================

Tesla在中國建廠的消息一直傳聞不斷

雖然前些日子被Tesla與上海政府雙雙否認

但看起來越來越像是真的了，應該是有些細節還沒敲定才遲遲不肯公開

找了一下大陸那邊的論壇與新聞

有未經證實的消息說這是由川普從中斡旋的結果

川普將會在11/8到中國訪問，到時就看看Elon Musk會不會在隨行的企業參訪團之中

或許會在那時候正式公開也說不一定
