Tesla's India-Bound Cars To Roll Out From German Gigafactory: Report
Tesla's India-Bound Cars To Roll Out From German Gigafactory: Report
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been quick with its India plans ever since the Southeast Asian nation relaxed import duties to reduce the burden of overseas automakers exporting cars into the country. The electric-vehicle giant is mulling plans to import Giga-Berlin-made cars to India, a report said on Thursday.
自從特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）放鬆進口關稅以減輕海外汽車製造商向印度出口汽車的負擔以來，特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）一直迅速實施其印度計劃。週四的一份報告稱，這家電動汽車巨頭正在考慮向印度進口超級柏林製造的汽車的計劃。
What Happened: Tesla has commenced production of right-hand drive (RHD) cars in Germany meant for exporting to India later this year, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The Giga Berlin currently manufactures only Model Y – an all-electric mid-size SUV, but the report said it wasn't clear yet which model the company plans to bring to India.
發生了什麼：路透社援引知情人士的話報道，特斯拉已開始在德國生產右手駕駛（RHD）汽車，計劃於今年晚些時候出口到印度。Giga Berlin目前僅生產Model Y——一款全電動中型SUV，但報告稱，目前尚不清楚該公司計劃向印度推出哪款車型。
Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.
特斯拉沒有立即回應本辛加的置評請求。
This is the first time Giga Berlin is manufacturing RHD cars, and so far Tesla's Giga Shanghai has been manufacturing cars for RHD markets such as Australia and Japan, the report said.
報告稱，這是Giga Berlin首次生產RHD汽車，到目前爲止，特斯拉的Giga Shanghai一直在爲澳大利亞和日本等RHD市場生產汽車。
Incidentally, Indian officials had previously warned Tesla against using India as a dumping ground for made-in-China cars.
順便說一句，印度官員此前曾警告特斯拉不要將印度用作中國製造的汽車的傾倒場。
Why It's Important: Under the new Indian import guidelines, automakers are allowed to import up to 8,000 cars costing $35,000 or more per year at a lower tax rate of 15%. This is a steep reduction from the 70%-100% taxes the country previously levied, depending on the value of the car.
爲何重要：根據新的印度進口指南，汽車製造商每年最多可以進口8,000輛價值35,000美元或以上的汽車，稅率較低，爲15％。這比該國先前徵收的70％-100％的稅收大幅下降，具體取決於汽車的價值。
The reduced tax rate is conditioned on the beneficiary company committing to invest at least $500 million and start domestic manufacturing within three years.
降低稅率的條件是受益公司承諾投資至少5億美元，並在三年內開始國內製造。
Tesla has been lobbying with the Indian government for long for the reduction, given the country's huge market potential. The company has also planned to invest in a charging network and spend $2 billion on setting up a plant.
鑑於印度巨大的市場潛力，特斯拉長期以來一直在遊說印度政府要求減排。該公司還計劃投資充電網絡，並花費20億美元建立工廠。
The report also said the U.S. company is planning to reduce sourcing from China and simultaneously increase its imports from India. A local media outlet in India reported earlier this week that Tesla has begun scouting for sites to locate its India factory. The Indian states in focus include those with existing automotive manufacturing such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu, the report said.
報告還說，這家美國公司計劃減少從中國的採購，同時增加從印度的進口。印度當地一家媒體本週早些時候報道說，特斯拉已開始尋找印度工廠的所在地。報告稱，印度關注的州包括擁有現有汽車製造業的州，例如馬哈拉施特拉邦、古吉拉特邦和泰米爾納德邦。
The rumored move comes even as the Elon Musk-led company's fundamentals have deteriorated amid supply and demand challenges.
儘管埃隆·馬斯克領導的公司的基本面因供需挑戰而惡化，但傳聞中的舉動還是出現了。
Price Action: At last check, Tesla shares rose 1.10% to $170.24, according to Benzinga Pro data.
價格走勢：根據Benzinga Pro的數據，在最後一次檢查中，特斯拉股價上漲1.10％，至170.24美元。
