Tesla Makes it on to Province’s List of Cars for CCP drivers

(Bloomberg) — Tesla Inc.’s cars built in China have made it on to a provincial government’s procurement list, allowing Communist Party workers to buy them for official use for the first time.

The basic variant of Tesla’s Model Y sport utility crossover has been included in the vehicle procurement catalog of Jiangsu province in eastern China. Jiangsu is one of China’s biggest provinces in terms of gross domestic product and home to many of Tesla’s local suppliers.
