How much does the world need Tesla

On July 2, Tesla's Q2 delivery report was released, with more than 82,000 vehicles produced and more than 90,000 delivered, surpassing Q1, which was severely impacted by the fact that Tesla's Fremont factory was shut down most of the time and unable to produce.

The delivery spike means more people are recognizing Tesla. Today, cities whose development engines have stalled need Tesla to drive economic growth even more.

Tulsa, the second-largest city in the central U.S. state of Oklahoma, is the main center of the U.S. oil industry and is known as the "oil capital of the world," and has been y tied to oil for more than a century.

Now, Tulsa residents are launching a poll on Tesla, and they want Musk to build a Tesla Gigafactory in the area, and some have proposed changing the city's name from Tulsa to Tesla, if Tesla builds a factory there. Tesla", the local government officials also on Twitter to Tesla to show love. Because wherever Tesla goes, the local economy grows.

It's the greatest irony of fossil energy that an oil-heavy town is pinning its economic growth on sustainable energy companies. Arguably, July was a watershed moment that transitioned humanity from fossil energy to the age of electrification.

It's oxymoronic to be needed; being needed by more people means responsibility.

On the surface, the Tesla Gigafactory brings a lot of jobs, tax revenue, which can activate a city's economic growth. On the deeper level, it will plant the seed of a high-end manufacturing industry for the local community, and it will be a business that will change in the future - even if Tesla "demises" in the middle of the road, the seed will still take root and grow, and benefit the future generations.

Unlike any other tech company, Tesla is virtually the only tech company in recent years that has manufacturing at its core. It has the advantage that all countries and cities look forward to - high-end manufacturing. Looking back at Tesla's business map, chips, solar energy, battery factories, vehicle manufacturing, AI, big data, it brings more than just an electric car company, but an entire Industry 4.0 cluster.

Electric vehicles have become the trend of human travel, irreversible, and the automotive industry is accelerating its upgrading around electrification and intelligence. For each country and industrial town, it is very urgent to quickly set up a high-end and mature electric vehicle industry chain.

Tesla is the world's electric vehicle leader, the future is promising, the world is not only the city of Tulsa to Tesla throw an olive branch. Shanghai, China, Tesla's "life-saving benefactor", took the lead in talking about cooperation with Tesla. In less than a year, the Shanghai Gigafactory in Lingang has risen to become an important force supporting Tesla's sales, and allowing Shanghai and even China to build a high-end industrial chain first.

Shanghai factory officially delivered vehicles in six months, Shanghai around the high-end electric car industry chain has been vaguely shaped, with the powertrain, body, control system, interior and exterior, charging equipment, chassis, tires, and other accessories, involving more than a hundred of direct and indirect spare parts suppliers. It's no exaggeration to say that China has built a complete electric car industry chain at least five years in advance, and has even begun to lead the European countries - in the era of fuel cars, China's local car companies are stuck in the supply chain, unable to overtake.

Tesla's contribution to the economy, jobs and industry chain is in the eyes of all countries. As electrification advances, Tesla will be needed more and more.
