Rather than keep spreading incorrect info, how about just relax and watch how Tesla's 100% owned factory gets built in China? See below for some weekly drone footage of Tesla Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai under construction [1].

Yeah that did come to mind but I wasn't sure if it was true so I didn't mention it. Do you know how this happened for Tesla or have any background on it? Was this an exception that was done for Tesla or the first of a new trend?

Edit: https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/17/tesla-inks-deal-for-gigafa... Seems like this is the start of a trend and the rules for joint ventures have changed. I stand corrected.
