【文/观察者网 张家栋 编辑/高莘】 据日经亚洲5月8日报道，三菱汽车与富士康共同宣布，将通过后者制造的Model B电动车，开拓大洋洲 市场。 同时，在其表现较好的北美市场，三菱却受到特朗普政府加征"对等关税"的冲击，对其进一步的增长计 划造成冲击。 目前三菱在北美地区的销量约占全球总销量的1/5，且在美国销售的车型均源于日本出口，三菱表示， 转嫁关税成本将影响该地区的销量。 所以，三菱主动选择接触富士康并寻求帮助，以期通过后者的电动化车型拓展新市场。 据统计，2023财年三菱在大洋洲销量约8.4万辆，占其总销量近10%。但其在大洋洲的营业利润达到240 亿日元（约12.1亿元人民币），甚至超过了销量最大的东盟地区。为此，三菱将大洋洲定位为增长型市 场，计划到2030年在该地区推出多款混合动力和电动汽车。 但一位三菱高管透露了与富士康合作的另一个原因："（新车型）内部开发风险很大，而且销量也不确 定。与外部合作伙伴合作，可以让公司在推出新车的同时降低成本，从而为较低销量的情况下也能实现 盈利铺平道路。" 富士康将向三菱提供Model B电动车 日经亚洲 Model B是此前富士康为展示电动汽车制造能力打造的 ...

马斯克承诺减少在华盛顿的活动，以增加在特斯拉奥斯汀总部的时间，而此时特斯拉董事会可能已经到 了崩溃的边缘。 媒体上周报道称，特斯拉董事会正处于寻找这家电动汽车制造商下一任首席执行官的正式程序的初始阶 段。据报道，董事会还告诉马斯克，他需要花更多的时间回到公司，并且需要让特斯拉的投资者和公众 特斯拉看涨人士将需求低迷归咎于新款Model Y的换代，这也导致了产量放缓。不过，这家电动汽车制 造商已于3月份在德国等欧洲地区开始交付新款 Model Y，尽管仅限于全轮驱动版本。目前尚不清楚这 些交付量是否会上升到更高的水平。但可以肯定的是，新款Model Y已经可以交付。 两大因素加剧了特斯拉在欧洲的困境。比亚迪在欧洲地区的销量增长正在蚕食特斯拉在多个欧洲国家的 销量。此外，即便是大众、福特和菲亚特等老牌汽车制造商，4月份的销量也实现了增长。 另一个重要因素是首席执行官埃隆·马斯克及其有争议的行为。马斯克与美国总统特朗普的亲密关系， 以及他对欧洲右翼政客的支持，都对特斯拉的品牌产生了影响。例如，美国和海外特斯拉展厅的抗议活 动仍在持续。此外，车主以惊人的速度出售车辆，导致二级市场价格下跌。 由于特斯拉品牌受损以及第一 ...
