Tesla China has priced its six-seat Model Y variant about 30 per cent higher than its basic edition and has started accepting orders from customers who prefer spacious, long-range electric vehicles (EVs) for family use.

A brand-new Chinese electric vehicle has taken the market by storm, breaking sales records within minutes of launch. The car, designed to compete directly with Tesla’s Model Y, attracted an unbelievable rush of buyers as soon as it went on sale.
