A car made in China? do not want! India angered many netizens with one sentence

2021 has not passed, but I heard one of the biggest jokes of this year (I think), India actually advised Musk: Do not sell Chinese-made Tesla electric cars in India. If you want to sell it, you need to build a factory in India. .....


Seeing this kind of news, every Chinese netizen must have called the "urn" like me: even you are worthy of India?


First, I will present a few real cases of India's misfortune with American car companies, and then talk to everyone about Tesla (made in China) and the hot sales of Chinese car brands in the international market, and take a good look at this country of curry that is everywhere "jumped".


1. A few days ago Ford officially announced that it would reorganize its Indian car business and close all its car factories in India.


Focus on: All!


The reason is simple. Ford has been in India for 25 years and its market share is only 1%+. Ford can’t sell it. In the final analysis, India is “too poor” and it is impossible to consume more expensive cars on a large scale.


Therefore, brands like Suzuki that only sell cheap small cars in India are their favorites (Suzuki can't sell small cars in China, and doesn't know how to make changes, so they can only find another way out).


So in the past 10 years, Ford has lost more than 2 billion U.S. dollars in India, and even plans to cooperate with local Indian automakers, sharing platforms and foundry and other alternatives have given up, shouting Laozi is to quit! quit! Exit~~~


At this point, factories such as the assembly plant in Gujarat State in western India and the Chennai Automobile Manufacturing Plant in the south will all be shut down within next year and will no longer provide models for India. Ford's expansion in India has been announced!


2. In addition to Ford, General Motors' Tarigang plant in India has been sold to Great Wall Motors in 2020. After Great Wall took over, it further expanded into the international market. At this time, General Motors also withdrew from the Indian market, and Harley-Davidson also announced its withdrawal last year. In India, Toyota even cut its production capacity by 40% in India...


This time, Nitin Gadkarii, Minister of Roads and Transport of India, called Tesla, with wishful thinking in his heart, trying to stimulate the development process of local new energy vehicles in India, and with the help of Tesla's technology introduction, he wanted to compete with "Made in China".
