Tesla Expands Global Presence with Megafactory in China

Tesla has officially launched its Megafactory project in China with a signing ceremony for land acquisition. The factory aims to produce about 10,000 Megapacks per year, helping Tesla break new records in energy storage deployment. Construction is set to start soon, with production expected to begin toward the end of the year.

CEO Elon Musk predicts that Tesla's energy storage business could become as big as its automotive business.

Musk reiterated his stance against EV subsidies, advising against the Biden administration's proposed subsidies of up to $12,500 per electric vehicle under the Build Back Better Act.
