In recent days, a piece of news that the average worker in Tesla's Chinese factory earns 10, 000 yuan a month has been listed on Weibo's hot search list, causing high attention in the industry. As of press time, the topic had been read 240 million times and 9650 discussions had been discussed.

According to the list, the Tesla Energy Storage Super Factory, which has just signed up to settle in Shanghai Lingang, began recruiting jobs in areas such as product research and development, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain and industrial Internet research and development. According to Tesla staff, an ordinary front-line worker has a basic salary of 5K per month, and other incomes include bonuses, allowances, overtime pay, etc., with an average monthly income of nearly 10, 000 yuan. In addition, after joining the job, there are 7% social insurance and house fund, 5% housing provident fund, as well as free working meals, free shuttle bus, free commercial insurance for the whole family and other benefits. "eating in the company, housing has public rental housing, everyone has stocks, and so do workers. You can choose whether to take stocks or cash." Tesla's internal staff said: "after all, it is a foreign company with all kinds of security, and now even the parents have been reimbursed for seeing a doctor."

Auto Industry concern previously reported that on April 9, Tesla announced that the signing ceremony for the energy storage superfactory project was officially held in Shanghai. Wu Xiaohua, deputy secretary of the Party work Committee of Lingang New District, and Tao Lin, vice president of Tesla, signed the contract on behalf of both sides. The factory is Tesla's first energy storage superfactory project outside the United States and Tesla's second super factory in China. According to the plan, the plant will start operation in the third quarter of this year and put into production in the second quarter of next year. In the future, it will specialize in the production of energy storage product Megapack. Initially, it is planned to produce 10, 000 commercial energy storage batteries per year, with an energy storage scale close to 40GWh, and the products will cover the global market.

At present, there are as many as 70 jobs in the above super factories, most of which are engineers in mechanical design, SMT equipment, software development and other fields, as well as senior positions such as supervisors and managers. It is reported that the job subdivision of this recruitment is very high, and the treatment is more "outstanding" in the same type. For example, the salary of Tesla for the post of energy storage mechanical engineer is about 30-50, 000 yuan, while the same type of post is about 20-40, 000 yuan.

In fact, as early as in 2019, when Tesla's Shanghai factory was just completed, Tesla's Shanghai factory triggered a "recruitment boom". Although Tesla only recruited front-line employees at that time, there was a long queue at the recruitment site, which once attracted many job seekers to apply for the job. The construction and recruitment of the above-mentioned Tesla Shanghai energy storage super factory also attracted everyone's attention. Some netizens said that they envied Tesla's salary, thinking that this salary level was high in the general industry of domestic factories, while others thought: "this is malicious recruitment, obviously seizing talents with domestic enterprises."

However, in the "Tesla high-paid recruitment" in a hubbub, the Internet also broke the "Tesla malicious deduction of performance" news. In Baidu Tieba's Shanghai Tesla Bar, a netizen revealed: "some Tesla employees were told this past weekend that the factory planned to cut their performance bonuses, which made them feel dissatisfied, so they asked the public and Tesla CEO Elon Musk for help online."

According to online posts and employees, Tesla's performance bonus is related to the performance of the factory, according to Phoenix New Media Technology. When asked about the reasons for the bonus cut, Tesla mentioned a "safety accident", they said. A netizen said: "in the Tesla factory in Shanghai, ordinary employees received a notice of malicious deduction of wages from the company." The reason is that the company needs compensation for safety accidents, and reducing the performance score of all staff on this grounds is equivalent to the company's "legal" use of the regulations to deduct more than 2000 yuan from the performance salary of each front-line employee. Take the colleagues around me as an example, it makes me feel very unfair and helpless. "

Another post said: "Why should there be a 30% discount on the general labor base?" If something goes wrong, why should we scrape the line? those who sit and eat and drink spicy drinks with more than NT $100,000 are not deducted, but operate on ordinary workers. What does the accident have to do with ordinary workers taking money? " Some netizens even shouted Musk directly on Twitter: "Please follow Tesla's Shanghai factory to deduct performance bonuses for front-line employees at will."

There is "high-paid recruitment" on one side and "malicious deduction" on the other, which is really magical. There is no way to verify the authenticity of the above post, but Tesla CEO Musk responded on Twitter that he had noticed the dissatisfaction of Shanghai super factory employees about bonus cuts and would conduct an investigation.

As of press time, Tesla officially did not respond to the above news.

The Shanghai factory is Tesla's first overseas factory, which is located in Shanghai Lingang New District. It employs about 20, 000 people and covers an area of 860000 square meters. It includes four areas: vehicle production area, test area, parts production area and joint workshop (maintenance workshop). It mainly produces Model 3 and SUV Model Y cars. Data show that Tesla's annual output in 2022 was 1.369 million vehicles and sales volume was 1.3139 million, an increase of 40 percent over the same period last year, but failed to meet the previous target of 1.5 million vehicles. In the Chinese market, Tesla delivered a total of 439700 new cars for the whole year, an increase of 37.1 percent.
