The little EV roasters are exported. Chicoms can't use 'em?

Tesla sells a massive number of cars in China and is opening a huge "Megapack" battery factory there to produce very large batteries capable of powering 3,600 homes on average for 1 hour. Megapack batteries are used to stabilize the grid.

Re: Tesla's car sales in China:

Tesla (TSLA) China’s wholesale deliveries reached 247,217 vehicles in the April to June months, up 120% from a year ago, according to a CNN calculation based on data released Tuesday by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) [half of global sales]. Source

That’s not a core socialist value.

[Gen.Blather]

I looked up “core socialist values.” After reading several interpretations most of which quoted Zi’s “thoughts” I decided on my interpretation. It’s a fox and a chicken deciding on what the fox is having for dinner. Virtually all of the interpretations include common ownership of the means of production and the workers making the decisions. This is suicide for Tesla.

The question is, will the CCP have “common ownership” of all of Tesla or just the part in China? Will Tesla have to do the same thing in other countries as far as letting the workers set the rules?

The industrialists who backed Hitler thought they’d be in control. It didn’t work out well. Probably, Tesla is going to try to keep things running as long as they can and then bail when it all folds in on itself.

--- "...electric vehicle (EV) and clean energy company...."

Wall Street Journal writes and Fox repeats "clean energy." The phrase is itself propaganda, not rooted in actual science and engineering.

China is stuffed with more EVs than its market actually can handle. Thus the business model -- ha-ha-ha -- is just to hide away reality while looking for more rubes to "buy in."

With the media support of WSJ and Fox. Marketing, marketing and marketing.

This is clickbait. China is requiring an ethics statement and framing ethics as “core socialist values”.

These are not really “core socialist values”.

Musk has a love affair with commie China. He needs China to pump out those ev’s. That has always been the plan, they can't do wrong in his eyes.

Baseless speculation from my 4th cup of coffee

What if Elon is beginning to question if these batteries will become a long term liability for Tesla? Maybe a long game of moving production to Commie China, then selling it off to them for an ongoing royalty on units manufactured?

He could then start a new R&D business focused on developing battery and other EV tech, selling it to highest bidders. Probably more profitable with less liability.

Chinese EVs end up in fields so they can get money from the government , China is one big scam , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SEfwoqKRU8&t=36s

Funny, China is now a capitalist society that uses Marxist theory which it does not even practice. So what harm does Tesla do by playing this game?
