Since its launch in 2014, Tesla Motors has been witnessing stupendous growth in the Chinese market. Today Mainland China is Telsa's second largest market after the US, registering a yearly growth rate of nearly 300 percent.

Despite the overwhelming demand for the Telsa 3, Telsa's co-founder JB Straubel announced last month that the company is still hesitant to set up a manufacturing plant in China. Straubel said that it would not make sense to put a factory in China unless customer demand in the country reaches 'critical mass.'

However, Tesla Motors is still committed to expanding its operation in the second largest market. On Wednesday, Tesla signed an agreement with the Beijing municipal government to start its operational headquarters in Beijing, where the company was previously running its sales headquarter.

Zhu Xiaotong, the general manager of Tesla China, said the company will increase the number of its retail outlets in China from 17 to 30 by the end of this financial year.

Zhu added that company will also increase the number of charging points across the country, with plans to install its 100^th charging point in Beijing this year.
