The South China Morning Post has published an article recently in which they revealed that the Tesla cars are of the second-best quality in China, according to a new J.D. Power quality survey.
In J.D. Power’s 2020 China New Energy Vehicle Experience Index Study, Tesla cars were a little behind than the local startup NIO in the score.
A general manager at J.D. Power China Jeff Cai said:
“Tesla Model 3 is well-received by Chinese consumers as its design and performance beat their expectations in many aspects. In terms of driving experience and digital connectivity, conventional car brands now have a lot to learn from smart EV makers like Tesla.”
The survey tells that using state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and techniques can help build the best quality cars. However, there is no denying that the Tesla-Shanghai factory is next-level compared to the Fremont facility in the US.
Tesla also recently got some adversity in China when local publication PingWest blamed the automaker of spreading incorrect information. Tesla was furious and ready to sue the publication. The company stated:
“Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai engages in manufacturing in accordance with China’s laws and regulations. The manufacturing process is managed based on the highest standards and in a consistent manner.”
The J.D. Power study is a clear indication that Tesla’s quality standards are among the industry’s best. In the study where a lower number means fewer problems, Tesla got 113 against NIO’s 109.
