Tesla has stopped taking orders for Model S and Model X in China, likely due in part to a worsening trade war that has hit both imported models.

Li Auto will launch a new variant for the Li Mega MPV, which is expected to be priced lower.

Tesla moved up to No. 3 in China's NEV market in March, up from No. 7 in February, as its local deliveries improved.

The B10 secured 10,016 firm orders one hour after its launch, Leapmotor said.

Both the Han L and Tang L are priced below the pre-sales prices, and they can get up to 400 km of range on a five-minute charge.

Tesla sold 74,127 vehicles in the Chinese domestic market in March, up 18.80 percent year-on-year and up 176.83 percent from February.

This is the third battery swap station partnership with a state-owned company that Nio has announced in the past month.

Richard Liu, founder of JD.com, has ordered an ET9, as Nio's William Li continues to pitch the executive sedan to entrepreneurs.

In the Philippines, Li Auto is currently previewing the Li L7 and Li L9 SUV models.

Nio Inc's insurance registrations last week stood at 2,500 units, down 43.18 percent from 4,400 units in the previous week.
