tesla should open another factory in the south in Guangdong province, where it is closer to exports markets in Europe. Guangdong is already a power house in automobile making with byd, xpeng and GAC. This geographic diversification will mitigate any further covid lockdowns.It's almost assured that Tesla will open up another giga location in China. Shanghai location after the second factory will be out of space. The most likely alternative for them will be Beijing or Jilin, because there is very established suppliers there. Tesla is just not adventurous enough to get into places without prior large automotive industrial base. It's not a BYD. At this point, it's pretty obvious that Giga shanghai is the reason Tesla is making profit.
The Shanghai government should create more land by reclamation.
