Electric vehicle maker Tesla has reduced the price of the Model 3 Standard Range in China, even as the price of the same vehicle produced in the US has been going up.
But now, the automaker announced a price change in China and it's trending differently than in the US, reports Electrek.
Tesla China announced that the price of the Model 3 Standard Range is going down by 15,000 yuan or the equivalent of $2,323.
The cheapest Tesla vehicle in China now sells for 235,900 yuan ($36,500) -- that's less than the $39,990 starting price of the base Model 3 in the US, the report said.
In China, where Tesla still has a press relations team, the automaker communicated to the media that the price decrease was due to "cost fluctuations."
It would imply that Tesla's costs in China have improved despite CEO Elon Musk's warning that Gigafactory Shanghai is facing some supply chain issues during Tesla's earnings call earlier this year, the report said.
