Reporters need to verify the authenticity of this news with Tesla, as the source of this news is not from Tesla.
在 X 上的一篇帖子中，腾谷解释说，投资、贸易和工业部以吸引投资为目的与特斯拉创始人伊隆·马斯克进行了讨论，但这并不涉及开设工厂。首先，外国新闻报道不是特斯拉的官方声明，而是引用匿名或没有名字的消息来源。记者需要通过与特斯拉核实这条新闻的真实性，因为这条新闻的来源不是特斯拉。
"Secondly, Miti has never announced that Tesla will open a factory in Malaysia. We have had discussions with Musk in efforts to attract investment, but Tesla has never committed to opening a factory here," he said yesterday.
“其次，投资、贸易和工业部从未宣布特斯拉将在马来西亚开设工厂。我们曾经与马斯克进行过讨论，以吸引投资，但特斯拉从未承诺在这里开设工厂，”他昨天说。
He made these comments in response to a report from Thai online news portal, The Nation, which cited unnamed sources within the government regarding Tesla's cancellation of plans to develop factories in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.The report also stated that Tesla's current discussions are only focused on efforts related to charging stations and has suspended plans to develop factories not just in Thailand but globally.
他是针对泰国在线新闻门户 The Nation 的一篇报道作出上述评论的，该报道引述了政府内部的未具名消息来源，有关特斯拉取消在马来西亚、泰国和印度尼西亚开设工厂计划的消息。该报道还指出，特斯拉目前的讨论仅关注充电站相关的努力，并已暂停了在泰国和全球开展制造工厂的计划。
"Tesla is not proceeding with plans in Malaysia, Indonesia or other locations except in China, the United States and Germany," the news portal reported.
“Tesla不会在马来西亚、印尼或其他地方开展计划，仅在中国、美国和德国实施计划，”这家新闻门户网站报道。
On July 20 last year, a leading United States multinational electric automotive manufacturer announced its strategic expansion into the Malaysian market through Tesla Malaysia Sdn Bhd.
去年7月20日，一家领先的美国多国电动汽车制造商通过特斯拉马来西亚私人有限公司宣布其对马来西亚市场的战略扩张。
According to a joint statement from Tesla and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida), this move is a direct response to the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Global Leader initiative introduced by MitiIn addition to introducing a range of advanced electric vehicles (EVs) to Malaysian consumers, Tesla is also committed to investing in a comprehensive network of fast and standard charging stations across strategic locations in the country, as well as establishing its state-of-the-art headquarters and service centre in Cyberjaya, Selangor.
据特斯拉和马来西亚投资发展局的联合声明，这一举措是对投资、贸易和工业部引入的电池电动汽车全球领导者倡议的直接回应。除了向马来西亚消费者推出一系列先进的电动汽车 (EVs) 外，特斯拉还致力于在该国的战略位置建立全面的快速和标准充电站网络，并在雪兰莪州的赛博中心建立最先进的总部和服务中心。
Meanwhile, Zafrul said in efforts to strengthen the EV ecosystem, the government has introduced the BEV Global Leaders initiative, which is open to EV manufacturers.
同时，腾谷说，为加强 EV 体系结构，政府推出了 BEV 全球领袖倡议，这一倡议开放 EV 制造商参加。
Among the requirements are the installation of at least 50 ultra-fast chargers with capacities exceeding 180 kWh and ensuring that at least 30 per cent of these ultra-fast chargers in Malaysia are open for public use.
其中要求安装至少 50 个超级快速充电器，容量超过 180 千瓦时，并确保马来西亚至少 30% 的超级快速充电器对公众开放。
Additionally, interested EV manufacturers must collaborate with at least 10 local companies to develop the EV charging industry ecosystem, including employing local contractors for EV charging installation and suppliers of equipment such as transformers and cables, among others.
此外，感兴趣的 EV 制造商必须与至少 10 家本地公司合作，开发 EV 充电行业生态系统，包括聘请本地承包商进行 EV 充电安装和变压器、电缆等设备的供应商。
Zafrul added that the purpose of the initiative is to enhance the charging network for local EV owners and increase local company participation in the EV charging ecosystem.
腾谷补充说，倡议的目的是增强本地 EV 车主的充电网络，并增加本地公司参与 EV 充电生态系统的机会。
"Through similar programmes, countries such as China, Hong Kong and Norway have accelerated the shift to EVs. As this happens, many local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would benefit from participating in the EV ecosystem.
“通过类似的计划，中国、香港和挪威等国已加速向 EV 车辆的转变，随着这一过程的发生，许多本地的中小企业 (SMEs) 将受益于参与 EV 生态系统，”他说。
"So far, only Tesla has applied and been approved for participation in this global BEV Initiative, but we welcome other EV manufacturers to join. So, when it is said that Tesla receives special treatment, that is not accurate; any company can apply for this initiative," he said.
“到目前为止，只有特斯拉申请并获得了参与这一全球 BEV 倡议的资格，但我们欢迎其他 EV 制造商的加入。因此，当人们说特斯拉享有特殊待遇时，这是不准确的；任何公司都可以申请参加这一倡议，”他说。
In this context, the minister said Miti will continue to work on attracting high-quality investment into Malaysia, including continuing strategies to attract investment in the automotive industry beyond just Tesla.
在这种情况下，部长表示，投资、贸易和工业部将继续致力于吸引高质量的投资入驻马来西亚，包括继续制定吸引投资进入汽车行业的战略，不仅仅是特斯拉。
"From 2022 to the first quarter of 2024, we have attracted RM24.55 billion in investment for EV-related manufacturing activities from companies such as Chery, Gemilang Coachwork, Samsung SDI Energy, NexV Manufacturing, and EVE Energy.
腾谷说：“从 2022 年到 2024 年第一季度，我们已经从 Chery、Gemilang Coachwork、三星 SDI Energy、NexV 制造、EVE Energy 等公司吸引了 245.5亿元的 EV 相关制造业投资。
"Our local manufacturers also support Tesla's global supply chain by providing spare parts, components, and factory automation systems," Zafrul said.
“我们的本地制造商还通过向特斯拉提供备件、元件和工厂自动化系统的方式支持特斯拉的全球供应链，”腾谷补充道。
