Elon Musk-owned Tesla has announced the upcoming launch of Model S and Model X in China, with pricing to be revealed on Friday with deliveries starting from mid of this year.

The Model S and Model X have not yet arrived in China since the carmaker paused production in January 2021 to redesign the vehicles, according to Electrek.

Tesla said in a statement that “The two performance monsters will officially announce the price on January 6. The deliveries start in the first half of 2023.”

Over 30,000 Model S and Model X cars were sold in China by the end of 2020.

“The Chinese market was once an important one for Model S and Model X before Tesla cut off the supply from its Fremont factory in California,” the report said.

Rumours started back in October 2022, about the return of the powerful Model S and Model X in China as they appeared in Chinese government filings mentioning that the vehicles would be eligible for tax exemptions.
