The Model S and Model X are not produced locally in China, and they have had expected delivery dates of the first quarter of 2024 for the past few months.

Globally, the Model S and Model X made a limited contribution to Tesla's deliveries, and together with the Cybertruck, they accounted for 22,969 deliveries in the fourth quarter, or roughly 5 percent of Tesla's global deliveries of 484,507 units.

The Model S and Model X currently on sale in China are new versions released in 2020, which were first imported into the country in late February 2023.

The Model S initially started at RMB 789,900 in China and the Model X at RMB 879,900.

The prices of all versions of both models in China were raised by RMB 19,000 on May 5, 2023.

However, Tesla started offering discounts for the two models last July and dropped the prices by about 20 percent on September 1.

The Cybertruck was unveiled in November 2019 and deliveries begin on November 30, 2023 in the United States. The model will kick off its China tour in late January, although it may not go on sale in China anytime soon.

Eight Cybertrucks will be debuted simultaneously in eight cities -- Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Xi'an, and Chongqing, local media outlet The Paper said in a report yesterday.

After the eight-city debut, all of Tesla's other models -- Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y -- will embark on a nationwide tour with the Cybertruck, according to the report.
