China will not cut NEV subsidies this coming July, said Minister of Industry and Information Technology Miao Wei, which will likely continue the MIC Model 3s surging demand in the country. Many have speculated that the locally-made Tesla sedan’s demand would drop after China cuts NEV subsidies.
Seven Tesla showrooms in Beijing sold 1,040 Made-in-China Model 3s in just one day. Gigafactory 3’s MIC Model 3 has been in strong demand since its price drop to RMB 299,050. Even before GF3’s MIC Model 3 delivery event, demand for the locally-made unit has been on the rise.
Tesla’s first China-made Model 3 design update was identified by a reservation holder on Weibo. There was a slight change in the placement of the MIC Model 3’s ID number, which could hint that the EV automaker may have developed a more mature production process in Gigafactory 3.
