China doesn't believe in IP. Tesla should look within 1-2 years of startup of a Chinese plant for there to be other Chinese plants producing the exact same parts, but not for Tesla. If Tesla puts its "magic smoke" into that factory, they have given it away to multiple competitors.

Our goal when we created Tesla a decade ago was the same as it is today: to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible.

- agumonkey 9y agoCould this be made difficult by obfuscating some sensitive part production through US made black box that stay controlled at the factory. No tesla black box, no nice tesla part oob, head start kept ?
