Tesla's CEO Elon Musk sent his plaudits to Chinese NEV manufacturer NIO
which saw its 100,000th car come out of assembly line. Commenting on his
Twitter account, Musk said "That is a tough milestone" on Saturday. At the same time, Musk also posted a congratulatory message on Chinese Twitter-liked social media site Sina Weibo. Tesla's
China Vice President Tao Lin reposted Musk's message, and said that
there will be more "fellow travelers" in the NEV industry. "The
100,000th NEV of NIO and Xiaomi vowing to produce NEVs mean a new era is
around the corner, and this will accelerate the transformation of
vehicles from fuel to new energy," Tao said. According to the
data released by NIO at the early April, NIO had delivered 7,257 NEVs to
its clients in March, achieving a new monthly sales record. A total of
20,060 NIO NEVs were delivered in the first quarter of 2021, a
year-on-year increase of 422.7 percent. In March, Tesla China
also refreshed its monthly sales volume record with a shipment of 35,478
units. The total sales of 69,280 Tesla NEVs in China from January to
March 2021 made up about 37 percent of its global sales. Musk praised
the Tesla team on Twitter with a special mention of Tesla China.
