Australia

rock mining operations provide a stable lithium supply. Australia has recently emerged as a major global lithium producer.

Democratic republic of congo

The DRC supplies around 70% of the world’s cobalt, crucial for battery cathodes, though it is associated with ethical concerns, including child labor and unsafe working conditions.

Nevada USA

Nevada (USA): Primarily produces lithium-ion batteries and powertrains for Tesla vehicles. Operated in partnership with Panasonic, this facility focuses on producing high-capacity battery packs.

Germany

Environmental organizations have opposed Tesla's Gigafactory near Berlin, pointing to issues with water use and deforestation. The development of the plant has also been delayed by regulatory concerns.

China

Due to Chinese authorities' demands for stringent data localization and greater transparency, Tesla has faced accusations regarding product quality and data privacy issues.

Canada

Safety issues, like as vehicle heating system recalls, have presented regulatory obstacles for Tesla in Canada. Transport Canada, for instance, looked into Tesla after problems with heat pumps caused cars to lose cabin heat in extremely cold weather, which is crucial for safety given Canada's climate. Over the air software updates were Tesla's solution to these problems, but the investigation highlights Canada's stringent enforcement of vehicle safety regulations.

Raw material extraction

Chile and Argentina: Chile's Salar de Atacama and Argentina’s lithium triangle are primary sources for lithium extraction, critical for lithium battery production.

China

China also has lithium deposits and processing plants, providing both raw materials and refined lithium compounds.

Shangai Gigafactory

Vehicle Assembly: Producing the Model 3 and Model Y for both domestic consumption and export. Battery Production: Manufacturing batteries used in Tesla vehicles and energy storage products. Support Roles: Staff in logistics, quality control, maintenance(14.000-16.000 jobs)

Mexico

Tesla’s new factory in Monterrey will create jobs and benefit from the USMCA trade deal. Labor rights could be a challenge.

Australia

Australia provides key minerals like lithium for Tesla’s batteries. This boosts the local economy but raises environmental and indigenous rights concerns.

United States

Lawsuits against Tesla are centered on claims of labor discrimination, safety recalls, and deceptive advertising of self-driving technology. Due to racial discrimination at its Fremont manufacturing, Tesla was being sued by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.

United States

Tesla boosts U.S. innovation with Gigafactories in Nevada and Texas, creating jobs and improving infrastructure. However, it faces criticism for anti-union practices and labor issues.

Texas Gigafactory

Produces both batteries and vehicles, including Model Y and the upcoming Cybertruck. The factory is strategically positioned to streamline distribution across North America. (20,000 jobs)

China

Tesla’s Shanghai factory helps it dominate the world’s largest EV market, benefiting from China’s subsidies. However, its reliance on Chinese supply chains raises concerns amid U.S.-China tensions.

South Korea

Regulatory attention has been drawn to safety recalls including hardware and software problems, such as pedestrian warning sounds and heat pump failures.

Germany

The Berlin Gigafactory strengthens Germany as a leader in green tech, creating jobs and pushing European automakers to innovate. Tesla has clashed with strong labor unions over working conditions.

Chile

Chile, a major lithium producer, is vital for Tesla’s batteries. Lithium exports help Chile’s economy but spark debates about environmental and resource management.

Peru and Chile

Copper is essential for electric motors, wiring, and batteries. Tesla sources copper from South America, particularly from mines in Chile and Peru

Indonesia

Indonesia holds some of the world’s largest nickel reserves and has become a significant supplier, especially for nickel-rich battery chemistries.

Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

The DRC’s cobalt is essential for Tesla’s batteries, but there are concerns about child labor and unsafe mining, pressuring Tesla to improve its sourcing.
