Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) has reportedly extended its 5-year, 0% interest loan program in China, making this car-buying incentive, which started in April.
According to information on the U.S. electric vehicle maker's China website, customers purchasing certain variants of the Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover before October 31 can still benefit from a "limited time" 5-year, 0% interest financing program, reported CnEV Post.
Meanwhile, the EV giant is reportedly planning to produce a six-seat version of its Model Y SUV starting next year in China. The new variant of Tesla's best-selling vehicle will be made at the company's gigafactory in Shanghai starting late 2025.
The company has asked its suppliers to plan for a double-digit increase in Model Y production in China.
