Abstract

Tesla's former China head, Tom Zhu, is returning to China from Tesla's Texas headquarters to help fix the struggling business in the country. Zhu, who is credited with turning Tesla's Shanghai factory into a standout performer, is known internally as the "fireman" for his ability to troubleshoot issues and meet targets. China is a crucial market for Tesla, but the company's sales slipped 4% in the first quarter of this year while overall sales of electric cars in China grew 15%. Tesla is also facing competition from local rivals who offer similar features at lower prices. [Extracted from the article]
