Musk responded to Tesla's $440 million order: production is a much greater challenge than demand.

August 15, according to foreign media reports, the US electric car subscription company Autonomy announced last week that it plans to order 23000 electric vehicles from 17 automakers, with a total value of about 1.2 billion US dollars, of which Tesla will provide 8300 electric vehicles, worth 440 million US dollars.

It is reported that Tesla accounts for about 37 per cent of the value of the contract, with GM and Volkswagen accounting for 11.6 per cent and 9 per cent respectively. When Tesla's Silicon Valley car owners Club asked Musk on Twitter what he thought of Tesla winning the order, he replied cautiously: "production is a bigger challenge than demand."

In July, Tesla had to close his main factory in China for facility renovation, leading to a sharp drop in Chinese deliveries last month. In addition, the current economic and geopolitical situation is grim, electric car manufacturers are facing a tight supply chain, and geopolitical tensions restrict the supply of key battery materials.

Musk congratulates: Tesla Shanghai Factory has an automobile output of 1 million vehicles, with a total global output of more than 3 million.
