Amid Competition From Rival BYD, Elon Musk Warns Of Chinese Automakers Potential To 'Demolish' Rivals
In a recent earnings call, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said that Chinese automakers could "demolish" their global counterparts if not for existing trade barriers.
在最近的業績電話會議上，特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克表示，如果不是現有的貿易壁壘，中國汽車製造商可能 “拆除” 其全球同行。
What Happened: Musk praised the competitiveness of Chinese car companies during a Tesla earnings call. He indicated that their success outside China would hinge on the establishment of tariff or trade barriers, reported Nikkei Asia.
發生了什麼：馬斯克在特斯拉業績電話會議上讚揚了中國汽車公司的競爭力。日經亞洲報道，他表示，他們在中國以外的成功將取決於關稅或貿易壁壘的建立。
"Our observation is generally that the Chinese car companies are the most competitive car companies in the world," Musk said. However, he noted that Tesla doesn't see an "obvious opportunity to partner" with these companies, except on sharing supercharging networks.
馬斯克說：“我們的觀察普遍是，中國汽車公司是世界上最具競爭力的汽車公司。”但是，他指出，除了共享超級充電網絡外，特斯拉看不到 “與這些公司合作的明顯機會”。
Despite this competition, Musk acknowledged BYD (OTC:BYDDF) (OTC:BYDDY) as an important battery supplier along with Panasonic (OTC:PCRFF) (OTC:PCRFY), CATL, and LG (OTC:LGEIY). He announced plans to increase orders from these suppliers in 2024.
儘管競爭激烈，但馬斯克承認比亞迪（場外交易代碼：BYDDF）（場外交易代碼：BYDDY）與松下（場外交易代碼：PCRFF）（場外交易代碼：PCRFY）、寧德時代和LG（場外交易代碼：LGEIY）一起是重要的電池供應商。他宣佈計劃在2024年增加這些供應商的訂單。
Tesla's presence in China, the world's largest EV market, is also being challenged due to data security concerns, leading to restrictions for Tesla drivers at government-affiliated venues.
出於數據安全考慮，特斯拉在全球最大的電動汽車市場中國的存在也受到挑戰，這導致特斯拉司機在政府附屬場所受到限制。
Tesla on Wednesday reported fourth-quarter revenue of $25.17 billion, which was up 3% year-over-year. The revenue missed a Street consensus estimate of $25.62 billion.
特斯拉週三公佈的第四季度收入爲251.7億美元，同比增長3％。該收入未達到華爾街共識估計的256.2億美元。

Why It Matters: Musk's acknowledgment of the strength of Chinese automakers comes at a time when these companies are making significant strides in the global electric vehicle (EV) market.
爲何重要：馬斯克認可中國汽車製造商的實力，正值這些公司在全球電動汽車（EV）市場取得長足進步之際。
Amid rising competition from Chinese automakers like BYD, Tesla has been reducing prices in China and Europe. During the October-December quarter, BYD achieved a milestone by selling a record-breaking 944,779 new energy vehicles, encompassing 526,409 pure electric cars, surpassing Tesla and securing its position as the largest electric vehicle maker for the first time.
在來自比亞迪等中國汽車製造商的競爭日益激烈的情況下，特斯拉一直在降低中國和歐洲的價格。在10月至12月的季度中，比亞迪實現了一個里程碑，銷售了創紀錄的944,779輛新能源汽車，其中包括526,409輛純電動汽車，超過了特斯拉，首次鞏固了其作爲最大電動汽車製造商的地位。
Earlier this week, a senior executive at BYD issued a warning to Musk about potential hurdles in the field of intelligent driving systems. The executive, without specifically naming Tesla or Musk, seemed to be responding to a post by Musk on his X platform in early January.
本週早些時候，比亞迪的一位高級管理人員就智能駕駛系統領域的潛在障礙向馬斯克發出警告。這位高管沒有具體點名特斯拉或馬斯克，似乎是在回應馬斯克在1月初在其X平台上發佈的帖子。
BYD has also been making significant strides in the luxury EV market, a segment traditionally dominated by Tesla. The company has expanded its EV lineup to over 20 models, targeting both the international and high-end markets.
比亞迪在豪華電動汽車市場也取得了長足的進步，該細分市場傳統上由特斯拉主導。該公司已將其電動汽車產品陣容擴展到20多種車型，目標市場包括國際和高端市場。
