Tesla goes to China

Tesla Motors (TSLA)' all-electric Model S sedan has been well received in the United States, and deliveries have just begun in Europe.

Now Tesla is getting ready to take on the world's largest auto market: China, which CEO Elon Musk has described as a "wild card" in the company's future.

Tesla is in a quiet period as executives prepare for the company's Aug. 7 earnings report, and a company representative declined to comment for this story, saying only that Tesla is likely to release more news on

its China strategy next month. But tidbits about Tesla's plans have dribbled out in the Chinese media and from auto experts in Asia.

Its first showroom in mainland China, scheduled to open later this year, will be in central Beijing at the exclusive Parkview Green mall, a gleaming, pyramid-shaped plaza designed with sky-gardens and atria spaces. It is the first mixed-use commercial project in China to be certified LEED Platinum for its energy-efficient design, and Tesla's 8,000-square-foot showroom will be roughly three times larger than its U.S. showrooms.

Auto industry analysts say Chinese consumers' growing appetite for luxury automobiles makes it a natural market for Tesla to tackle. Roughly 19 million vehicles were sold in China last year. Luxury brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche are increasingly popular, and analysts say that Tesla is likely to market the Model S as a luxury vehicle that happens to be an electric one.

"China is the biggest auto market in the world, and that's why Elon Musk is really pushing for sales in China," said Mike Omotoso, senior manager of global powertrain forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Mich. "The showroom is being built in Beijing's equivalent of Rodeo Drive. The Model S may be a good way for the Chinese to say 'I'm wealthy, but also environmentally responsible.' "

Air pollution is a notorious problem in China, and the government is a strong supporter of electric vehicles, particularly of domestic automakers like BYD and Kandi. And a December report by McKinsey & Company found that spending by Chinese consumers on luxury products, from jewelry to clothing and cars, now exceeds that of any other country, including Japan.

"Tesla will sell successfully in China because it is a very high quality and well engineered automobile, a luxury brand and it is foreign made," said Charlie Paglee, CEO of Brannan Auto Engineering in Shanghai who has lived in China for more than two decades.

? Zhou Ruogu Architecture Photography -- Pictured is the Parkview Green FangCaoDi structure in Beijing, China. Tesla Motors will open its first showroom in China inside the environmentally friendly structure.

"Chinese customers will buy the Tesla to show off their wealth and demonstrate their love of the environment. Tesla will be successful in China because they have already become a status symbol in the USA and that standing will translate to China, similar to the prestige of owning an iPhone."

Earlier this spring, an analyst asked Musk what geographic demand for the Model S was looking like given that roughly one in four reservations for the vehicle are from outside the United States.

"I think we will see probably at least 10,000 units a year from demand in Europe, and then at least 5,000 in Asia," said Musk during the May 8 earnings call. "But I mean, that could be, obviously, a much bigger number and China is kind of a wild card here."

Not everyone is bullish about Tesla's prospects in China. The EV market there is in its infancy, and the lack of charging infrastructure is an issue. The Chinese government does not currently offer any incentives for imported electric vehicles; Tesla's Model S is likely to be subject to import and luxury taxes that could double the car's already steep price. Others worry about Tesla's intellectual property being stolen.

"Huge risk," said Theodore O'Neill of Litchfield Hills Research. "I don't see the China market as having any meaningful impact for Tesla's numbers over the next 18-24 months. I'm far more concerned that the Chinese will take a Model S, tear it apart and knock it off."

Tesla currently has a service center in Hong Kong that assists owners of its discontinued all-electric Roadster and handles Model S reservations.

"Hong Kong and China are actually quite different markets. Hong Kong is an extremely wealthy island state with very short commutes, which is ideal for the introduction of electric vehicles like Tesla," said Christopher Foss, senior manager at Dunne & Company in Hong Kong. "Mainland China is a huge country with massive cities typified by urban sprawl, constant traffic jams, and long commutes. But by 2020, China will account for half of all luxury vehicles sold worldwide. So there is certainly strong growth potential for Tesla in the Middle Kingdom, if conditions to provide enough charging stations for the vehicles can be met."

Kingston Chang, who worked at Bentley China for a decade, joined Tesla in March as its general manager for China.

"Mr. Chang will help Tesla navigate its entrance into the Asian market," said analyst Andrea James of Dougherty & Company in a recent research note. "Global demand is robust."

British troops fight Taliban in secret battle

About 80 soldiers from 4th Battalion The Rifles helped the Afghan military halt a militant surge in the Helmand province town of Sangin. Special permission for the mission was given by Defence Secretary Philip Hammond.

The operation was completed last week and all British soldiers survived it unscathed.

They are understood to have killed about 12 Taliban fighters. A number of Afghan troops from the British-mentored 3/215 Brigade were killed.

Defence officials confirmed the secret operation which was launched at a time when Britain is scaling down its military activity ahead of next year?s withdrawal. Western armies are handing control over to the Afghan National Army but remain in the country as ?mentors?.

Afghan military commanders requested help in the region where 106 British personnel lost their lives in the four-year period to 2010.

Twitter under fire after bank note campaigner is target of rape threats

Twitter is facing a barrage of criticism after a journalist and feminist blogger who campaigned for Jane Austen to become the new face of the ?10 note was subjected to a series of rape threats.

Caroline Criado-Perez, a freelance journalist who co-founded thewomensroom.org.uk and the Week Woman blog, and fellow campaigners were delighted last week when the Bank of England confirmed that the Pride and Prejudice author would replace Charles Darwin on the notes, probably in 2017.

But Criado-Perez quickly found herself subjected to a sustained campaign of abuse on Twitter, of the type that MPs say should become a criminal matter.

Writing in the Observer, Labour MP Stella Creasy condemned the threats and called for action from both Twitter and its users to push back against online aggression towards women.

"This is about more than making Twitter somewhere fun for everyone to enjoy," she said. "If we want a world where everyone can live hassle-free, then everyday expressions of inequalities need to be confronted ? not least as they help ease the big inequalities."

Fellow Labour MP Steve Rotheram tweeted that "hopefully those responsible will be receiving a knock on the door from their local constabulary".

By Saturday afternoon more than 9,000 people had signed an online petitioncalling on Twitter to add an abuse button for those threatened with sexual violence and to make the site responsible for any criminal threats posted on it.

The petition claims: "During a 12-hour period, Caroline Criado-Perez was targeted repeatedly with rape threats. Caroline attempted to stir a response from Twitter's Mark S Luckie. His response was to lock down his account."

Many who have signed the petition have questioned why the online community appears to be subject to different laws from the real one. "This is criminal behaviour in the real world; why should people get away with it on Twitter?" one supporter wrote.

Another added: "Rape threats are a criminal offence in real life. They should not be allowed in cyberspace."

A number of high-profile names have lent their support. The writer Caitlin Moran tweeted: "For those who say, 'why complain ? just block?' ? on a big troll day, it can be 50 violent/rape messages an hour. Exhausting and upsetting."

The comedian Dara ? Briain warned that Twitter faced an exodus of users if such messages continued to be disseminated. He tweeted: "If the ladies leave twitter because of all the dumb, rapey 14-year-old boys, then I'm outta here people. Like most grownup men too, I'd say."

Criado-Perez said she had been overwhelmed by support: "Lots of people are saying how inspired they feel by my stance on this."

She said it was important to confront those who used rape threats. "We need to get rid of the idea that you don't feed the trolls. Someone issuing rape threats wants women to shut up and get off Twitter ... We can't let them win."

Significantly, it appears that Criado-Perez was the victim of a sustained and co-ordinated attack. Initially, she was the subject of several offensive tweets, but these died away after about a day. She was then subjected to hundreds of tweets, which suggests that she was targeted by a group of Twitter users.

Criado-Perez believes the affair has highlighted Twitter's inability to respond to such attacks. "If you get an abusive message, you can fill in an online form and make a complaint," she said. "But if you're subject to hundreds of tweets it's not practical ? Twitter does not understand the nature of abuse online."

Twitter UK general manager Tony Wang said the company takes online abuse seriously. He tweeted: "We encourage users to report an account for violation of the Twitter rules by using one of our report form. Also, we're testing ways to simplify reporting, eg within a tweet by using the "Report Tweet" button in our iPhone app and on mobile web. We will suspend accounts that, once reported to us, are found to be in breach of our rules."

Attention all bitter, inadequate, jealous men: mess with my sister @CCriadoPerez and you mess with me and all the other #twittersisters.

@CCriadoPerez No one deserves rape threats. Full stop. There is no but.

Lots of women uniting to fight the misogyny & threats aimed at @CCriadoPerez How can anyone have a problem with that? Petty & disappointing

@CCriadoPerez Remaining silent about abuse never changed anything. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for #shoutingback

You pieces of dirt threatening @CCriadoPerez & any woman who dares think or challenge your dominance. Do you realise how tiny&weak you seem?

Over 1,000 supporting calls for twitter abuse button after @CCriadoPerez 12 hour grief-athon yesterday. That's v quick, petition fans.

Anna H. ?@drlangtry_girl

Men of Twitter: if any of you wanted to have a #notinmyname moment over misogynistic Twitter abuse, look at @CCriadoPerez mentions & report.
