Hey, the Model S isn't domestically produced; it's all imported from the USA. Tesla manufactures the Model 3 and Model Y at its Shanghai factory specifically for the Chinese market, allowing for mass production and lower prices. The Model S is positioned as a premium vehicle, making localization less cost-effective due to higher production costs and lower demand. If you're buying one, you'll have to wait for import clearance—it's pricier but comes with original quality. Will it be domestically produced in the future? Uncertain. Tesla is focusing on promoting the Model Y and new battery tech, prioritizing mass-market models for localization. EV licensing policies also favor domestically produced cars, but the Model S delivers powerful performance and long range, making it ideal for performance-oriented users.
