On October 18 last year, last year, Foxconn brought its pure electric vehicle brand Foxtron, and released three new cars, Model C, Model E and Model T. A year later, on October 18, 2022, on the tech day of Hon Hai , two new cars, Foxconn officially debuted, namely the pure electric SUV model Model B and the electric pickup truck Model V, and also displayed the high-profile key components of the Model C mass-produced version.
Just when everyone thought Foxconn would also enter the new energy vehicle track and become a member of the new car manufacturing force, Foxconn's current chairman Liu Yangwei unexpectedly stated: We, Foxconn, will not sell our own brand electric car . I hope one day we can produce electric cars for Tesla !
Good guy, it turns out that the drunkard is not about wine, but about Tesla's OEM. It seems that Foxconn wants to continue to leverage its advantages in the global OEM field as always, and transition from electronic and digital products to the current hot new energy vehicles. And it attracts Tesla's attention by naming the new car. Previously, this series of naming methods was seen by the outside world as a counterattack against Tesla CEO Musk, because Musk had publicly mocked Terry Gou, saying that he could not build an electric car that was more complicated than a mobile phone. From this point of view, it seems that our netizens’ pattern has not been opened!
However, it is not easy to manufacture for Tesla. First of all, since Tesla has been deploying industries in any market around the world, it has adopted the model of building its own factories. There are currently no rumors that OEM needs to be manufactured. Furthermore, even if it will really become its OEM company, , Foxconn still needs a certain amount of time to create a series of supporting conditions and transformation measures. I wonder what Musk would feel when he saw Foxconn’s active invitation?
According to reports from Taiwan media, after the release of the new Hon Hai Group , it has begun to adjust its own supply chain. First, it "takes a knife" from the body supplier and replaces the original supplier, Brigadier General Hong with Yisheng-KY, and there has been formal cooperation between Yisheng-KY and Tesla.
In addition, Foxconn has also entered the US market and actively deployed the OEM business of electric vehicles to further attract Tesla's attention. I wonder if Musk will be moved when he sees Foxconn, who is so proactive and kindly invited him? So what do you think of Foxconn’s operation?
