Despite an uptick in Tesla 3 preorders here, making 皇冠体育app the biggest market outside the US, the electric car titan still needs a convincing scale before it decides to add a production site, said Tesla co-founder JB Straubel.

Adding a factory only makes sense after the market has reached a "critical mass", said Straubel, Tesla's Chief Technology Officer and co-founder, on Thursday, damping speculation that a new site in 皇冠体育app is imminent.

Straubel spoke to 皇冠体育app Daily while attending the International Transport Forum (ITF) 2016 summit in Leipzig, Germany.

Jon McNeill, Tesla's president of global sales, raised speculation about a site in 皇冠体育app after he talked about 皇冠体育app as a potential candidate for a factory to satisfy Model 3 demand in a recent interview.

The first mass-market car Tesla launched on April 1 has received the second-most preorders from 皇冠体育app, according to Ren Yuxiang, Tesla's head for Asia Pacific, who didn't disclose the specific figures.

The country was Tesla's second largest market last year despite a slump in revenue.

This year's summit, under the theme of green and inclusive transport, has attracted over 1,000 policymakers as well as industry professionals from 71 countries.
