Recharging Network Is Priority over Production in China, Tesla CEO says

(Beijing) — Tesla Motors Inc. would need to solve problems it faces in China with recharging infrastructure and service before starting production in the country, Elon Musk, CEO of the U.S. electric carmaker, said on April 22.

Musk was visiting China just as consumers in the capital and Shanghai got their hands on the company's cars for the first time. The company's flagship Model S was introduced to China in January, when buyers could place early orders. Consumers in other parts of China are not able to get the cars yet.
