Cybertruck's tour of China will begin on Sunday, January 28, and will debut in eight cities.

Li Auto released a range test comparison video of the Li Mega versus the Tesla Model X to show that its first BEV model has better performance.

Tesla said its vehicle volume growth rate in 2024 could be notably lower than in 2023 as the team works to roll out next-generation vehicles at its Texas plant.

Last month, a Chinese media outlet reported that Tesla was planning to restart the third phase of its Shanghai factory, possibly focusing on a $25,000 model.

The Model S and Model X are not produced locally in China, and they have had expected delivery dates of the first quarter of 2024 for the past few months.

Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Xi'an, and Chongqing will be the first eight cities that Cybertruck will tour in China.

Tesla began purchasing cathode coils from two second-tier Chinese battery makers in the second half of 2023 and shipping them to its Texas factory in the US to produce 4680 batteries, according to local media.

Tesla in China is asking those interested to choose the city where they want the Cybertruck to make its debut, but the pickup may not be available for sale in the country for the foreseeable future.

Tesla today lowered the prices of all two versions of the Model 3 by nearly 6 percent, and two of the three versions of the Model Y by nearly 3 percent.

BYD ranks No. 1, Tesla No. 2, and Nio No. 9 in terms of NEV market share in China in 2023.
