Tesla may start exporting China-made EVs to U.S. and Canada, sources say

Until recently, Tesla had been selling or shipping for export every vehicle it could produce in Shanghai, but inventory levels rose by their largest margin ever in October, according to data from brokerage CMBI.

In addition, factors including a cheaper yuan against the U.S. dollar, lower raw material prices in China and the rise in Tesla and new-car prices in the United States have combined to make exports from China to the United States potentially cost competitive, the people with knowledge of the plans said.

The plan, if enacted, could create new complexity for U.S. buyers. Under the terms of a new electric-vehicle subsidy and production-incentive plan signed into law by U.S., the incentive available for an individual vehicle could vary depending on whether it was imported. It could also be politically contentious.

Tesla Chief Financial Officer Zachary Kirkhorn told investors last month that the automaker was"very well-positioned to capture a significant share" of the incentives offered under the IRA for EVs andUntil now, Tesla's strategy has been to build the cars it sells in North America at its plants in Fremont, California, and Austin, Texas.
