On November 26th, regarding online rumors that Tesla had requested suppliers to avoid using Chinese-made parts for US car production, a Tesla China representative explicitly told the media that the news was false. Tesla Global Vice President Tao Lin publicly denied the rumor on her personal social media platform. Tao Lin stressed that the competitive price-performance ratio of Tesla in the Chinese market benefits from the Shanghai Gigafactory's Intelligent manufacturing in China. She added that the company has already integrated over 60 local Chinese suppliers into its global procurement system, firmly supporting cooperation with Chinese local supply chain partners to jointly create high-quality products to serve the global market.
