The first eight customers included high-profile individuals such the president of the Lifan football club, Yin Xidi, and the president of the Beijing-based Autohome Inc website Li Xiang.

, founder and CEO of Tesla, said he hoped to form partnerships with companies such as Corp of 皇冠体育app to lay out more charging facilities, "but charging stations can also be run without power utilities. s can actually work independent of electricity. Our main goal is to make sure the power is sustainable and clean."

In terms of production in 皇冠体育app, Musk said because of regulatory and other challenges, it might take more than three to four years, during which time Musk predicted that the California plant will reach capacity.

"By that time, rather than creating another plant purely dedicated to exports, we would rather build in local markets, whether that's in 皇冠体育app, Europe or elsewhere, so we produce more affordable vehicles."

Musk said instead of building a dealership network, he was more concerned about service centers in 皇冠体育app.

"Dealership is the wrong approach. Tesla does direct sales everywhere in the world. In 皇冠体育app, we probably see more demand than we can fulfill this year. Therefore, rather than trying to amplify our sales, we want to focus on service and Tesla super-charging locations, so every owner has a great experience."
