Tesla starts delivering China-made cars

Tesla has started deliveries of its cars made at its Gigafactory in China. 15 Model 3 units were delivered to Tesla employees.

It is said that the company wanted to start deliveries before the Lunar New Year, which begins on 25 January 2020. The company plans to increase production from the beginning of 2020.

Tesla used to import cars to China and faced high tariffs. The cars made in China will be sold in China and will not be exported to the US. At present, goods made in China and exported to the US face high tariffs, forcing manufacturers to move production out of China to the US.
