Tesla China discontinues Model S and Model X orders amid tariff war
Tesla has stopped new orders of its flagship Model S and Model X vehicles in China. The update comes amidst the United States and China’s ongoing tariff war.
The updates to Tesla China’s lineup were observed by electric vehicle watchers on social media.
Tesla China Lineup Update
A look at Tesla China’s official website shows that only the reengineered Model 3 sedan and the new Model Y crossover are available for order. Customers in China are only presented with a button to “learn” about the Model S, Model X, and the Cybertruck.
As noted in a Reuters report, new orders for the two flagship vehicles have also been halted by Tesla China on its WeChat mini program account. Customers in China who wish to purchase a Model S or Model X can still do so today, but they can only acquire inventory vehicles.
Still Imported
It should be noted that while Tesla operates Gigafactory Shanghai in China, the facility only produces the company’s two mass market cars, the Model 3 and the Model Y. Model S and Model X units are still imported from the United States, making them substantially more expensive than their locally-produced siblings.
With the Trump administration’s tariffs coming into effect, the Model S and Model X will likely become significantly more expensive for Chinese customers. On Friday, China raised its tariffs on U.S. imports to 125% in response to the Trump administration’s duties on Chinese goods, which has risen to 145%.
Not a Volume Seller
While the pause in Model S and Model X sales in China is unfortunate, the unavailability of the two flagship vehicles in the country will likely not affect Tesla’s delivery numbers this year. As per Li Yanwei, an analyst with the China Auto Dealers Association, Tesla China only imported 1,553 Model X and 311 Model S in 2024.
Considering that Tesla China saw deliveries of over 657,000 vehicles last year, the Model S and Model X only accounted for less than 0.5% of the company’s sales in the country.
