Tesla has dismissed rumors of a Cybertruck launch in China, confirming that the electric pickup will not be entering the market anytime soon.
This follows reports of slowed production at Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas, where employees were recently given a three-day break from the Cybertruck assembly line.
The move, coupled with added incentives for Cybertruck purchases, has fueled speculation about demand challenges for the vehicle, currently available only in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Rumors about a potential launch in China surfaced as observers suggested Tesla might explore new markets to boost sales, but Tesla China officially denied the claims, stating there are no plans to introduce the Cybertruck locally at this time.
This decision aligns with Tesla’s strategy to focus on its current regions as it navigates early production and market response for the Cybertruck.
Tesla China has officially denied rumors about a potential Cybertruck launch in the country. The company confirmed that it has no immediate plans to introduce the electric pickup to the Chinese market, as reported by CNEVPost. This clarification comes amidst speculation surrounding Cybertruck demand, following a temporary production pause at Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas and added purchasing incentives in North America.
Tesla’s China team has denied that the Cybertruck would be brought to China through official channels anytime soon, saying it has no plans to sell the model in the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) market, according to a report last night by local media outlet Jiemian.
Although the Cybertruck is not available for sale in China, Tesla has showcased it on a marketing tour in the country. The electric pickup has been displayed in Tesla’s retail spaces, drawing attention and giving people a chance to see it up close. This strategy aims to generate excitement for the brand and its innovations, even without immediate plans for a market launch.
