Now we learn that China is also finally getting some new Model S and Model X vehicles. <\/p>\n
It looks like Tesla\u2019s flagship Model S and Model X are finally coming back to China as the electric vehicles now appear on an updated list of cars receiving tax exemptions.<\/p>\n
Tesla is different from most other automakers in many ways, and the way it handles model updates is no exception.<\/p>\n
Instead of taking the usual model-year route, Tesla introduces changes to its production vehicles whenever they are ready.<\/p>\n
Every now and again, the automaker will package more changes together at once and create what has been referred to as a \u201cdesign refresh,\u201d but those can come at any time. Tesla doesn\u2019t wait for a model-year update.<\/p>\n
These design refreshes are rarely significant enough to shut down production for a long period of time. However, in early 2021, Tesla did shut down Model S and Model X production for its biggest design refresh to date, and the impact is still felt today almost two years later.<\/p>\n
The update took way longer than anticipated, and Tesla was without Model S production for months and didn\u2019t deliver any new Model Xs for almost a year.<\/p>\n
Now almost two years since starting the refresh, production is finally getting back to pre-design refresh levels.<\/p>\n
No markets outside of North America have received any new Model S or Model X vehicles since the refresh, but that\u2019s finally about to change.<\/p>\n
We recently reported that finally Tesla started taking new Model S and Model X orders in Europe<\/a> with deliveries expected by the end of the year.<\/p>\n Now we learn that China is also finally getting some new Model S and Model X vehicles. <\/p>\n
