On March 20, Reuters disclosed that Tesla is currently engaged in discussions with Chinese suppliers regarding the acquisition of equipment valued at 20 billion yuan (equivalent to approximately US$2.9 billion). This equipment is earmarked for the production of solar panels and battery cells. The objective of this strategic move is to bolster Tesla CEO Elon Musk's ambitious plan to augment solar power generation capacity in the United States by 100 gigawatts. Tesla has set a target to attain a solar manufacturing capacity of 100 gigawatts in the United States, starting from raw materials, by the close of 2028. Among the prominent potential suppliers is Suzhou Maxwell Technologies Co., Ltd., while other potential contenders include Shenzhen JT Advanced Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. and Laplace New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Chinese suppliers are under obligation to ensure the delivery of the equipment by this autumn, with the consignment slated for shipment to Texas, USA.
