Tesla invests $680 million into Gigafactory 3 in China

Sina Finance reports that Tesla Shanghai has registered a capital increase to 4.67 billion yuan (US$680 million.)

In May 2018, Tesla (Shanghai) got a business license and TESLA MOTORS HK LIMITED was the wholly-owned shareholder. The legal representative is Zhu Xiaoyu, President of Tesla China. The main personnel include Zhang Jing, Todd Andrew Maron and Marc Jesus Cerda. On July 10th, Tesla signed an agreement with Shanghai Lingang Management Committee and Lingang Group to build a special investment in R&D, manufacturing and sales in the Lingang area. Pull the super factory.

The super factory (gigafactory 3) is called the “Dreadnought”. It will be Tesla’s first gigafactory outside the US. It will have an annual production capacity of 500,000 units. Tesla said it will inject $2 billion into the factory by borrowing from local banks in China.

  1. Right after they nationalize SpaceX, as you’ve claimed is sure to happen.” I said DE FACTO nationalization. Learn to read.

  3. Thanks for the CFIUS law info! Good to know! “I was told in no uncertain terms that anything remotely connected to China (even, for example, a UK company that has minority Chinese shareholding) will be rejected. This even goes for a US investor that has any kind of ties to China (e.g., Tesla). ” Told by whom, if I may ask? “ALL potential foreign investors need to be vetted by Uncle Sam. Every single one. So we are going through this new process as we speak.” Which means corruption will take hold as the Chinese bribe their way through this. “From my vantage point, I am seeing an all-out trade war…” We have been in one for 30 years now. Just that our side has been selling out its own country. “…where the US has most of the leverage.” Yes. I keep getting into deep examples as to why on here. But the China Wu Mau Fluffers of NBF won’t have any of it.

  11. The original Lexus patterned after German luxury brands were the last cars made by Lexus that looked classy and desirable IMO. An original LS400? Great looking car. Whatever batman chrap they sell today may as well be I don’t know what, but I don’t want it.

  15. well, he is a US citizen too…. But I completely agree with the US block, I should probably have mentioned it, glad you did. The new CFIUS law is designed to shut out China from all U.S. technology, wherever it might exist. The prior CFIUS rules only applied to very sensitive national security tech and wasn’t rigorously enforced to say the least. The new law is extremely important but seems like everyone has missed it (which was by design, a stealth move). CFIUS isn’t targeted to China specifically, but that is how it was written. I am currently involved in exiting an investment that is relevant to manufacturing where our IP (and company) is American. The tech has to to with a manufacturing process that can be used across most industries, and is being deployed in autos, refining, pharma production etc. ALL potential foreign investors need to be vetted by Uncle Sam. Every single one. So we are going through this new process as we speak. I was told in no uncertain terms that anything remotely connected to China (even, for example, a UK company that has minority Chinese shareholding) will be rejected. This even goes for a US investor that has any kind of ties to China (e.g., Tesla). The implications are far-reaching. Mercedes, for example, is looking to expand production in China with their Chinese partner. But some of the equipment they want to import has US content. They won’t get permission from SecTreas. It means their expansion plans grind to a halt. Building the things they need from scratch is not economical, and will get them in trouble. From my vantage point, I am seeing an all-out trade war, where the US has most of the leverage. The Chinese have been doing this for decades (try buying Chinese tech…..). I have no problem with all this, though one of our investments is much more complicated than before. Basically anything you read from now on “Chinese have developed…..” or “Chinese looking to invest in……” is suspect.

  19. Musk isn’t pro-American. He’s a foreigner. From South Africa. So he could care less about the IP issues, I bet. The real risk is — as a result of the trade war heating up — the US government blocking this both before or even after the ink dries on the agreement. Especially how Trump will probably go after all of Silicon Valley after the mid-term election with anti-trust prosecutions and whatnot.

  21. The USAF announced that it is ‘looking into how to deal with Musk’ as a direct result of that interview, also. And the transfer of American Tech to China MUST STOP. It should be considered treason, if you ask me.

  23. I’ll tell you one thing we won’t be hearing is this: American Jobs… Every day I see and hear things from Mr. Musk that look and sound worse and worse… Anyone who would want to be in a company where the CEO blows pot and sucks down booze in an interview is crazy! The guy isn’t cool or hip. He’s unhinged. I can say this with authority as I know people in his inner circle. I’ve pulled my money out of Tesla, and the next time I invest in an electric car company – they will have a 500 mile battery that charges faster than I can fill my Deville’s tank – or bust! Do you hear me Fisker???

  29. Told by whom, if I may ask?” Pls search cfr dot org and ‘Made in China 2025 a Threat to Global Trade?’ Well, risk of bribes is of course always there, but in this case I think the US has a pretty good handle on it. E.g., the folks (who do the actual recommendations) at each department representing CFIUS have their personal finances and other info on “permanent audit”. Yeah, it’s been a war we’ve been losing. Badly. The theory that ‘chinese capitalism’ would somehow change China into an open society was deeply flawed because it was promoted by 2 falanges: intellectuals with no clue who had never set their foot there, and mercantilists who wanted to make a quick buck.

  31. Sorry, not justifying it at all, I am only indicating that countries/companies will always be ruthless in getting what they want, the Europeans did it, and now the Chinese are as well, I am not sure why anyone would expect any less and/or bitch about it. I will also be the first the point out that the Chinese copies shamelessly, as do the Koreans, also the Europeans with the American manufacturing processes back in the Henry Ford days, but copying removes the costs of R&D initially until the company is more financial robust or catches up technologically, it is one of the oldest play in the book, so also not sure why anyone is surprised by it .

  32. Sure, to each it’s own, but their sales tell us that there are enough people who likes the design or the reliability enough to buy them. The point is that they needed to copy first before coming to their own.

  35. Sorry to say, everyone steals designs from others in the mobile phone industry, although Apple’s designs are copied more frequently, as demonstrated by all the notches in most high end phones nowadays. I concur that the Chinese phone makers copy designs shamelessly, but I believe that is the strategy used by some brands when starting out. One example I can think of is Lexus, their first car looked like the love child of a BMW 7 and Mercedes S class, but now they’re coming into their own design-wise, and I believe I am also seeing that trend with the Chinese brands. Agree with Foxconn/Hon Hai’s low margin, I believe their operating margin is about 1-2%. They also know that it’s not sustainable as something as common as exchange rate fluctuations can eat away all the profits. They’re going full automation, but I think that’s just putting band-aids on a deep cut, their clients will continue to demand better prices and they will comply because of lower COGS coming from automation, thereby perpetuating the vicious cycle. They tried branding but that didn’t work out as consumer electronics is also a vicious market. I think they’re trying to find a long term and sustainable strategy, it may be cloud services or automation, but then one needs to look at the players involved in those areas among other considerations.

  37. Interesting, I guess the same “Boo Hoo” can be said to all the technologies that were forced to share or stolen. The companies made a conscious decision to share those technologies to access the market, too bad and boo hoo. Others were stupid or careless enough to have their systems hacked, boo hoo for their stupidity. You see how your logic is going now?

  39. Standard loan agreements for Chinese state owned banks and foreign companies is to have the IP as loan collateral. This point alone doesn’t bode well for the deal. Tesla has no cash flow in China so repayment must be guaranteed by Tesla Inc, who holds the IP. That is the LAST thing shareholders (and US lenders) want to see Tesla risk giving away. In my view, there is no hope of a deal.

  41. I wonder when we’ll be hearing “funding secured” on this? IE Chinese banks have not yet signed up. The monkey wrench must be the loan covenants. I bet that the Chinese banks will demand guarantees from Tesla Inc for repayments and other credit coverage. Basically, the Chinese banks are taking Tesla head office credit risk. This includes stock price targets, and offshore risk, and IP. The only way I see Tesla getting this loan approved is if they more or less hand over the keys to the office. The Chinese banks have all the leverage here.

  43. I agree they are big. Hardly profitable. That’s always been their issue. To become a brand that makes money and not steal Apple and Huawei design, is next to impossible for them. They can make low end phones, but those are loss leaders. Instead, HonHai is looking at building cloud services and automation systems, where they really excel. that might work. They aren’t a consumer design or distribution shop.

  45. My point is that Apple did not get screwed by Foxconn (as for the moment at least) So it was ironic

  46. Though I agree about risky investments into China, not sure I understand the HonHai/Foxconn reference. Do you mean the HonHai production for Huawei? HonHai has for years (at least since 2014 when I met them first time) been planning to move production to various regional hubs. This was on Apple’s insistence, to get production local and to use robotics. The latter not very easy to do until recently.

  82. well, he is a US citizen too…. But I completely agree with the US block, I should probably have mentioned it, glad you did. The new CFIUS law is designed to shut out China from all U.S. technology, wherever it might exist. The prior CFIUS rules only applied to very sensitive national security tech and wasn’t rigorously enforced to say the least. The new law is extremely important but seems like everyone has missed it (which was by design, a stealth move). CFIUS isn’t targeted to China specifically, but that is how it was written. I am currently involved in exiting an investment that is relevant to manufacturing where our IP (and company) is American. The tech has to to with a manufacturing process that can be used across most industries, and is being deployed in autos, refining, pharma production etc. ALL potential foreign investors need to be vetted by Uncle Sam. Every single one. So we are going through this new process as we speak. I was told in no uncertain terms that anything remotely connected to China (even, for example, a UK company that has minority Chinese shareholding) will be rejected. This even goes for a US investor that has any kind of ties to China (e.g., Tesla). The implications are far-reaching. Mercedes, for example, is looking to expand production in China with their Chinese partner. But some of the equipment they want to import has US content. They won’t get permission from SecTreas. It means their expansion plans grind to a halt. Building the things they need from scratch is not economical, and will get them in trouble. From my vantage point, I am seeing an all-out trade war, where the US has most of the leverage. The Chinese have been doing this for decades (try buying Chinese tech…..). I have no problem with all this, though one of our investments is much more complicated than before. Basically anything you read from now on “Chinese have developed…..” or “Chinese looking to invest in……” is suspect.

  84. Thanks for the CFIUS law info! Good to know!

    “I was told in no uncertain terms that anything remotely connected to China (even, for example, a UK company that has minority Chinese shareholding) will be rejected. This even goes for a US investor that has any kind of ties to China (e.g., Tesla). ”

    Told by whom, if I may ask?

    “ALL potential foreign investors need to be vetted by Uncle Sam. Every single one. So we are going through this new process as we speak.”

    Which means corruption will take hold as the Chinese bribe their way through this.

    “From my vantage point, I am seeing an all-out trade war…”

    We have been in one for 30 years now. Just that our side has been selling out its own country.

    “…where the US has most of the leverage.”

    Yes. I keep getting into deep examples as to why on here. But the China Wu Mau Fluffers of NBF won’t have any of it.

  90. Musk isn’t pro-American. He’s a foreigner. From South Africa. So he could care less about the IP issues, I bet. The real risk is — as a result of the trade war heating up — the US government blocking this both before or even after the ink dries on the agreement. Especially how Trump will probably go after all of Silicon Valley after the mid-term election with anti-trust prosecutions and whatnot.

The guy isn’t cool or hip. He’s unhinged. I can say this with authority as I know people in his inner circle. I’ve pulled my money out of Tesla, and the next time I invest in an electric car company – they will have a 500 mile battery that charges faster than I can fill my Deville’s tank – or bust! Do you hear me Fisker???

  97. Sorry to say, everyone steals designs from others in the mobile phone industry, although Apple’s designs are copied more frequently, as demonstrated by all the notches in most high end phones nowadays. I concur that the Chinese phone makers copy designs shamelessly, but I believe that is the strategy used by some brands when starting out. One example I can think of is Lexus, their first car looked like the love child of a BMW 7 and Mercedes S class, but now they’re coming into their own design-wise, and I believe I am also seeing that trend with the Chinese brands. Agree with Foxconn/Hon Hai’s low margin, I believe their operating margin is about 1-2%. They also know that it’s not sustainable as something as common as exchange rate fluctuations can eat away all the profits. They’re going full automation, but I think that’s just putting band-aids on a deep cut, their clients will continue to demand better prices and they will comply because of lower COGS coming from automation, thereby perpetuating the vicious cycle. They tried branding but that didn’t work out as consumer electronics is also a vicious market. I think they’re trying to find a long term and sustainable strategy, it may be cloud services or automation, but then one needs to look at the players involved in those areas among other considerations.

  99. Interesting, I guess the same “Boo Hoo” can be said to all the technologies that were forced to share or stolen. The companies made a conscious decision to share those technologies to access the market, too bad and boo hoo. Others were stupid or careless enough to have their systems hacked, boo hoo for their stupidity. You see how your logic is going now?

  101. Standard loan agreements for Chinese state owned banks and foreign companies is to have the IP as loan collateral. This point alone doesn’t bode well for the deal. Tesla has no cash flow in China so repayment must be guaranteed by Tesla Inc, who holds the IP. That is the LAST thing shareholders (and US lenders) want to see Tesla risk giving away. In my view, there is no hope of a deal.

  103. I wonder when we’ll be hearing “funding secured” on this? IE Chinese banks have not yet signed up. The monkey wrench must be the loan covenants.

This includes stock price targets, and offshore risk, and IP. The only way I see Tesla getting this loan approved is if they more or less hand over the keys to the office. The Chinese banks have all the leverage here.

They can make low end phones, but those are loss leaders. Instead, HonHai is looking at building cloud services and automation systems, where they really excel. that might work. They aren’t a consumer design or distribution shop.

This was on Apple’s insistence, to get production local and to use robotics. The latter not very easy to do until recently.
