Tesla will produce in China? Interesting they're finally going that route.

  Note that this is just following in the footsteps of the Model 3, which will also have the low end models manufactured in China.

  Cars tend to be affected a lot by tariffs. A good way to make more money selling cars Is to sell more cars (at a similar margin) and a good way to do that is to make the cars cheaper (at a similar margin) and a good way to do that is by cutting out tariffs (and possibly reducing transportation costs too). Making cars (and batteries) in China is a statement that Tesla think their cars will be more popular in China if they can reduce the price and that will justify the cost of making the factory there.
