Tesla delivers its first 'Made in China' cars:
During a ceremony at the company's multi-billion dollar plant in Shanghai, 15 of its employees received cars they had purchased.
The event means deliveries of cars have started a little over a year after construction of the factory got underway.
[...] The Chinese-made Model 3, priced at $50,000 (38,000) before subsidies, will compete with local electric car makers, including NIO and Xpeng Motors, as well as global brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
[...] Previously Tesla was exporting all of the cars it sold in China from the US, which meant they were hit with tariffs in China.
