Tesla plans to raise the prices of the cheaper versions of the Model Y in China, as a continuation of the price hike it put on the crossover's most expensive version in the country late last month.

This is another decline in Tesla's China-made vehicle sales after an 11.98 percent sequential drop in September.

The Model 3 was excluded from both the latest round of referral program announced today and the previous round announced on October 1.

Tesla's entry-level Model 3 now has a wait time of 2-6 weeks in China, down from 6-9 weeks previously.

The Tesla Model Y is offered in three versions in China, with the prices of the other two cheaper versions unchanged.

Model 3 retail sales in China were 2,079 units in September, contributing 4.78 percent to Tesla's sales in the country, a new low since October 2021, likely due in part to potential customers waiting for the new Model 3.

These vehicles may fail to give an alert when the brake fluid level is low, which in extreme cases can affect the vehicle's braking.

Both versions of the new Model 3 now have an estimated wait time of 6-9 weeks in China.

Two models of the Model Y have entered a filing catalog with radar, different style wheels, and front fog lights as options.

Tesla launched the updated Model Y in China on October 1, with minor configuration updates and unchanged pricing. Deliveries of the new Model 3 have yet to begin.
