Elon Musk wanted to create a Chinese Tesla design

Tesla Elon Musk is looking for a design director to create an electric car in China. The head of the auto giant wants to organize a design and development center in Shanghai or Beijing. It will develop electric vehicles specifically for Chinese consumers, writes Reuters.

HR managers are looking for people familiar with Chinese and American culture and have at least 20 years of experience in design. China is the world’s largest electric vehicle market, according to consulting firm LMC Automotive. Sales are expected to reach approximately 1.5 million vehicles this year. It is also Tesla’s second market after the United States.

Last year, Chinese consumers bought about 145,000 Tesla vehicles, which is about a third of the company’s global sales.

Earlier it became known that Musk, who became the richest man in the world, decided to sell all his property for the sake of settling Mars. The entrepreneur explained that building a city on another planet would require a significant investment.
