Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk on Sunday denied reports of his EV company struggling in China amid increasing competition from domestic automakers and an intense price war.
特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）的CEO埃隆·马斯克周日否认了有关他的电动汽车公司在中国陷入激烈的竞争和激烈的价格战的报道。
What Happened: "Our Shanghai factory is running at max capacity," Musk wrote on social media platform X while reiterating his criticism of mainstream media.
“我们的上海工厂正在全力运行”，马斯克在社交媒体平台X上写道，同时重申了对主流媒体的批评。
"Believing the news is silly," the CEO said.
“相信这些新闻很蠢”，这位CEO说。
According to Tesla's second-quarter shareholder report, the gigafactory in Shanghai has an annual vehicle production capacity of over 950,000 vehicles, implying a daily maximum capacity of about 2,603 vehicles.

Why It Matters: Tesla sold 86,697 China-made EVs in August, including exports and sales within the country, as per China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) data. The August sales numbers mark a significant growth of 17% compared to July and 3% year-on-year. However, the company's biggest rival and Chinese EV giant BYD Co sold 148,470 battery electric passenger vehicles last month and 222,384 plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles.
为什么重要：根据中国乘用车协会（CPCA）的数据，特斯拉在8月份销售了86,697辆中国制造的电动汽车，包括出口和国内销售。8月份的销售数字较7月份增长了17％，同比增长了3％。然而，该公司最大的竞争对手和中国电动汽车巨头比亚迪股份有限公司上个月销售了148,470辆纯电动乘用车和222,384辆插电式混动乘用车。
Tesla makes both the Model 3 sedan and the Model Y SUV at its gigafactory in Shanghai. The vehicles made at the factory are sold within China as well as exported to foreign markets including Europe. In the January-August period, Tesla China sold 587,437 vehicles, down 6.01% year-on-year.
特斯拉在上海的超级工厂生产了Model 3轿车和Model Y SUV。工厂生产的车辆在中国国内销售，也出口到包括欧洲在内的海外市场。在1月至8月期间，特斯拉中国销售了587,437辆车，同比下降6.01％。
Concerns of Tesla losing against competition in China are rising from the company's dwindling sales numbers, coupled with its aging lineup in a market that is witnessing newer, lower-cost models being launched at a rapid pace. However, the company is reportedly planning to produce a six-seat version of its Model Y SUV starting next year in China.
特斯拉在中国市场面临竞争压力加大，销售额下降，而且其老化车型与市场上推出的新款低成本车型相比，差距明显。然而，据报道，该公司计划从明年开始在中国生产一款六座版的Model Y SUV。
Tesla dismissed the impact of intense competition in China in its second-quarter earnings report in July and said, "While the automotive market in China remains among the most competitive globally, we feel that our cost structure and focus on core functionality that drives value for customers – including autonomy – position us well for the long-term."
特斯拉在7月份的季度业绩报告中对中国市场的激烈竞争表示不担心，并表示：“尽管中国汽车市场仍然是全球最具竞争力的市场之一，但我们认为我们的成本结构和关注为客户提供价值的核心功能（包括自动驾驶）使我们能够在长期内取得成功。”
