Tesla Motors announced on its blog that Model S will be sold for 734,000 yuan—equivalent to about $121,290—in China, about $40,000 more than in the United States.
"If we were to follow standard industry practice, we could get away with charging twice as much for the Model S in China as we do in the U.S.," Wednesday's blog post said. Instead, Tesla said the price is "much lower than its competitors" because it wants to "treat our Chinese customers just as well as we'd treat customers in any other country."
