Chinese Demand For Model 3 Overwhelms Tesla Website

The interest in the China-made Tesla Model 3 surged beyond the online design studio's processing capacity, according to the latest news.

Initially placing a reservation on the Model 3 Standard Plus at a new base price of 328,000 yuan ($47,468) took just 3 minutes, while later it turned into lags.

"From #Tesla China officially Weibo: “The first order completed within 3 mins of the reservation opening. Due to extreme high demand of the Chinese-made Model 3 on the official website of Tesla, the traffic is too large, please be patient. Or plz visit stores”"

So, Tesla, desperately in need of good news, reports high demand, but offers no figures to support. This is the same demand device he has used to try to fool fools in the past.

That is great news, despite the fact that it is effectively the same price as the US version after factoring for taxes. I thought they were going to go way cheaper.
