Tesla Launches Model Y Online Design Studio For Chinese Market

Tesla customers in China can now place orders for the upcoming Made-in-China (MIC) Model Y in a recently launched online design studio.

Two versions of the car are available - just like in the U.S. - Long Range AWD and Long Range AWD Performance, which are expected in production at the Tesla Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai in Q1 2021.

The Chinese versions are priced higher than their U.S. counterparts, although Tesla says those are estimated prices (things might change over the next 6-9 months):

• LR AWD: from ¥488,000 ($68,780), while in U.S. $54,190 (including $1,200 DST)
• LR AWD:Performance from ¥535,000 ($75,400), while in U.S. $62,190 (including $1,200 DST)
