Domestically produced Tesla was launched in 2021. Below is the relevant introduction about domestically produced Tesla: Interior: The domestically produced Tesla Model 3 maintains the original simple and tech-savvy design, with interior options available in either black or white style. System: The domestically produced Tesla Model 3 uses the latest V10 system, featuring a more concise and intelligent overall interface, updated applications, and added more mobile APP usage scenarios as well as more entertainment options.
I remember the launch of domestically produced Teslas was around late 2019 to early 2020, with the Model 3 being the first model to debut. At that time, Tesla's Gigafactory in Shanghai was rapidly completed and began mass production. Trial production started in October 2019, and the first batch of vehicles was officially delivered to owners in January 2020. The price dropped from over 300,000 yuan for the imported version to just over 200,000 yuan, which was a great deal. I was eager to order one back then because localization made the configurations more tailored to the local market, such as faster software updates and support for Chinese voice commands. This move completely ignited the domestic electric vehicle market, prompting brands like NIO and XPeng to quickly optimize their strategies. Even better, it boosted the entire supply chain—local suppliers providing components led to a surge in production efficiency. A friend of mine working in manufacturing said the project was incredibly efficient.
