Prices of the cars, which will be manufactured in Tesla’s new Shanghai factory, will stand at 355,800 yuan ($50,547.67) and are likely to be lowered from the second half of 2020, the report bloom.bg/2Es3w0N said.

The US car-maker aims to lower costs by using more local components, allowing it to import fewer parts and avoid tariffs, according to Bloomberg.
