Tesla Inc on Friday said it had started delivering Model 3 cars in China slightly ahead of schedule.
The United States (US) car marker said in a statement that it held a delivery event in Beijing on Friday, which it said “marked a significant milestone for the market”. The firm had said in January that Model 3 deliveries in China would begin in March.
The California-based firm has been aiming to accelerate Chinese sales that have been hit hard by the impact of Sino-US trade tensions. It has adjusted prices of its US-made cars in China to make them affordable.
