Interest in Tesla Model 3 Test Drives Grows in Beijing
Apparently, the redesigned all-electric vehicle is generating more interest in test drives in Beijing, according to recent reports from Tesla China.

Requests for test drives of the Model 3 in Beijing have increased by about 60% month-over-month, according to the writer.
Zero-Interest Financing Sparks Consumer Interest
Reportedly, Tesla China's recent sales activities, such as its zero-interest five-year financing offer for the Model Y and Model 3, are contributing to the interest in the Model 3.
The Tesla Gigafactory Shanghai is the location where the Model 3 and Model Y are manufactured locally in China.
Aggressive Price Cuts Drive Demand for Model Y
The Model Y Rear Wheel Drive and the Model Y Long Range All Wheel Drive were both discounted by RMB 10,000 in 2024 as part of Tesla China's aggressive sales campaign.
Tesla places a high value on China because it is home to the biggest electric vehicle market in the world, Teslarati points out.

Thankfully, local Chinese automobile purchasers have shown a strong preference for the Model Y and Model 3 because of their affordable prices, advanced technology, and generous amenities.
Giga Shanghai is the main export center for Tesla vehicles. Also, the Model 3 is made at this facility, one of just two in the world that do it for Tesla.
