This makes a lot of sense. It may be the reason why Tesla is pricing it’s vehicles at only $35k in China, could EVs possibly be exempt from tariffs?

That's what it shows on the sign, starting at $35K USD, sure some people will go for higher options package. Trust me, $35K starting is super attractive over there in China.

if they pricing $35000 USD, my take is truly impossible to ship from Cali

Not currently exempt, but high level negotiations were underway late this past week. Trump has several times highlighted the need for the Chinese to greatly reduce their tariff on imported cars. This after Elon directly tweeted the details of the situation to Trump, to which the latter then alluded at a press conference.

Does the Tesla China website give customer an expected delivery date? And do you know the destination fee?
I was thinking the same. It makes sense for Elon to be speaking about the China factory on the recent CC. Looks very much like negotiations are going well. I agree with VINVIN218, a Model 3 manufactured in China makes a lot of sense too.

Standard delivery fee is $1,200 , cargo container shipping starts at $1,600 (random Google results). Could be doable. However, given 450k backlog, new reservations at higher price sounds like a new factory (guess it's a 18 month wait either way, can ship in meantime)
That appears to be the standard webpage for the Model 3 translated into Chinese. What we really need is a full translation of the sign you noted behind the prospects who are apparently in China.

Is that saying 4000 week or am I just too excited ?
Guess I should go see the pawnbroker and be at my stock brokers office at 9 am.

I checked EU Tesla website (ie France) and it displays the same thing - it seems that they did not localize the model 3 page and so all of them are saying 35k USD and 220 to 310 miles (an oddity in Europe). So at this point I would not read too much into it even if it is likely that an announcement for China is close.

"12-18 months , estimate deliver in 2019" that's what on official Tesla China website
Hmmm... $3.2K deposit per Model 3 in China, conservatively estimate twice the reservations compared to 400K in US (after all, China has 4X the population of the US) - that’s 800K X $3.2K = $2.56B. There’s Elon’s capital raise. Mike drop...

Yes, it is about time we see VIN assignment picking up after the shutdown. Few more days/a week may be needed for confirmation of an above 3k/week rate. In the meantime, TeslaQuilla it is...
In the FAQ section, the translation reads:
Please note that the price in the Chinese market will additionally include tariffs, freight, etc.
Me likely. 800k is a good choice, the current reservation count is 450k worldwide and China government officials are supposed to switch to alternative energy vehicles.

Last Update on BeijingAuto Show: “Without New vehicle announcement, Tesla Model 3 still drove the most attention in auto show” Chinese Media report. Pictures won’t lie.
My tweet : vincent on Twitter

Thanks Vincent for bringing us the news inChina. Badly needed after the previous China news provider got chased away.
