Tesla hopes China boss will bring secret sauce to Gigafactory Texas
Such achievements no doubt make Zhu a preferred aide of Musk who. While Zhu might have a secret recipe for building a well-oiled manufacturing team in a short time, China's unique conditions aren't easily replicable in another country.
"Over the past three years, Gigafactory Shanghai has outperformed its counterparts in Fremont, Texas and Berlin, although [not all of the success] is attributable to Tom or the China team," suggested Chris Zheng, founder of Chinese automotive blog Channel-Q. "A friendly regulatory environment, a strong supply chain base and an efficient front-line execution team -- these are three factors that are currently only available in China, so the key isn't Shanghai or Texas. Look at BYD. Granted, Tom and his executive team are excellent, but that's not all," he added.
