The Chinese market for Tesla is potentially much bigger than that of the U.S., despite a common myth about Tesla’s affordability in China. There’s a common implication that many people in China are poor and cannot afford to buy a Tesla, so there is not much of a market for Tesla in China.

Tesla Shanghai GigafactoryTwo of the big pieces of news on the Tesla 3rd quarter earnings announcement were that margins were up dramatically and the cost to build the new lines to manufacture the Model Y in Fremont is half the cost as the existing Model 3 lines, and that the cost to build the Model 3 line in China is 65% less than the same US Model 3 lines on a capacity basis.
