正如彭博社报道的那样，特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克昨天结束了对中国的访问，但没有发布升级后的 Model 3（又名 Project Highland）。

这位亿万富翁被发现于 6 月 1 日乘坐他的私人飞机离开上海，结束了从北京开始的为期两天的旅行。

对于埃隆马斯克来说，这是一次非常快速和安静的访问，他没有在他的推特页面上发布他的旅行的更新，除了昨天的一条推文祝贺 Giga Shanghai 和特斯拉中国 SDS 团队“他们出色的工作克服了许多障碍（很多年）。”

访问期间，埃隆·马斯克在社交媒体上受到中国公众的一致好评，但他却异常安静，避免发表任何公开声明。

他在抵达北京数小时后会见了中国外交部长，并在第二天会见了商务和工业与信息化部长。路透社消息人士称，他还会见了副总理丁薛祥，丁薛祥在该国执政的政治局中排名第六。 

然而，关于他与中国高级官员的讨论却鲜为人知。工信部指出，讨论是关于电动汽车和联网汽车的发展，而商务部则表示，马斯克讨论了特斯拉在中国的发展。

随后，马斯克参观了特斯拉的上海工厂，该公司一直在考虑大幅扩大产量。他在工人们面前发表讲话，感谢他们深夜留在工厂欢迎他。他的讲话视频发布在特斯拉的微博账户上，但其中没有任何关于升级后的Model 3 的内容。

马斯克赞扬了 Giga Shanghai 的员工致力于打造公司最好的汽车。

“我非常想祝贺你们所做的出色工作。你们能够克服如此多的困难和挑战，这令人印象深刻。你知道，这温暖了我的心。我告诉世界各地的人们——我们在这里生产的汽车不仅生产效率最高，而且质量最好。”

不过，有关Tesla Model 3 升级的信息一无所获。在马斯克访问中国的第一天，彭博社报道称，特斯拉将在上海提前展示改款后的 Model 3。 

据一位匿名消息人士透露，特斯拉本应于 6 月 1 日在上海 Giga 工厂制造经过改造的 Model 3 的首批原型车，但特斯拉否认了这一消息。

Rumors Of Tesla Model 3 Revamp Reveal Die Out As Musk Ends China Trip

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has ended his visit to China yesterday without unveiling the refreshed Model 3 – a.k.a. Project Highland – as Bloomberg reported.

The billionaire was spotted departing from Shanghai on June 1 in his private jet, bringing to an end a two-day tour that started in Beijing.

It was a very quick and quiet visit for Elon Musk, who didn't post updates from his trip on his Twitter page, except for one tweet yesterday to congratulate the Giga Shanghai and Tesla China SDS teams "for their excellent work overcoming many obstacles over many years."

 While Elon Musk was showered with praise by the Chinese public on social media during the visit, he was atypically quiet, refraining from any kind of public statement.

He met with China's foreign minister hours after landing in Beijing, and with the commerce and industry ministers the next day. Reuters sources said he also met Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, who is ranked number six in the country's ruling Politburo. 

However, little is known regarding the discussions he had with the high-ranking Chinese officials. The industry ministry noted that the discussions were about the development of EVs and connected cars, while the commerce ministry said Musk discussed Tesla's development in China.

Later in the trip, Musk visited Tesla's Shanghai plant, where the company has been considering a major expansion of output. He held a speech in front of workers, thanking them for staying at the facility late at night to welcome him. A video of his address was posted on Tesla's Weibo account, but it didn't include anything about the updated Model 3.

Musk praised Giga Shanghai employees for their dedication to build some of the company's finest cars.

"I would like to very much congratulate you on the amazing work that you've done. It's been incredibly impressive how you've been able to overcome so many difficulties and many challenges. It warms my heart, you know. And I tell people throughout the world – the cars we produce here are not just the most efficient in production, but the highest quality."

Nothing about the Tesla Model 3 refresh, though. On the first day of Musk's China visit, Bloomberg reported that Tesla would provide an early glimpse of the facelifted Model 3 in Shanghai. 

According to an anonymous source, Tesla was supposed to build the first prototypes of the revamped Model 3 at Giga Shanghai on June 1, something Tesla denied.
