SHANGHAI: Tesla CEO Elon Musk presented the first batch of made-in-China cars to ordinary buyers on Tuesday in a milestone for the company’s new Shanghai “giga-factory”, but which comes as sales decelerate in the world’s largest electric-vehicle market.
The eccentric entrepreneur danced awkwardly, gave out high-fives, and mugged on a stage as sleek Model 3 sedans — the company’s mid-price, mass-market offer — were driven up one by one and presented to buyers who jumped into the back seats before being driven away at the plant.
