The American Tesla Manufacturer of Electric Machines has suspended its premium class Model S and Model X models in China. Reuters' check found out that the order to order these models disappeared from the Chinese website and Wechat mini program.
Both Model S and Model X are manufactured in US Tesla factories and imported to China. The company did not provide an official explanation on the reasons for this step. However, the suspension of orders takes place against the background of growing trade tensions between the two largest economies in the world.
China has previously sets 84% of customs duties on a number of American products in response to trade customs duties on the import of Chinese goods by the Trump administration. It is the high imports of imports that have probably restricted access to Tesla's imported models for Chinese consumers.
It should be noted that the production of Model 3 and Model Y, Model 3 and Model Y, is performed at the Shanghai factory for the main models of Tesla's Chinese market and export. These models are apparently not affected by the suspension of the order.
According to the Chinese Automobile Dealer Association, China has imported 1553 Model X and 311 Model S in 2024.
