We note that Musk's company has faced stiff competition in China from local players, including market leader BYD and new entrant Xiaomi. The market value of Xiaomi, the maker of smartphones and home appliances, increased by $4 billion in one day after the release of its debut electric sports car, which costs less than the Tesla Model 3.
