SHANGHAI (Reuters) -Tesla will make a lower-cost version of its best-selling Model Y in Shanghai, three people with knowledge of the matter said, aiming to regain ground lost during a price war in its second-largest market.

But now, it seems that the view of Tesla as a luxury foreign EV maker is waning and demand for Tesla’s cars in general is cooling. Despite a revamped Model Y going on sale in China recently, its overall sales in the country dipped by 51.47% in January, according to Teslarati.

Tesla is preparing to launch a couple of new more affordable electric vehicles and the first one is expected to basically be a stripped-down Model Y, according to a new report from China. We have been reporting on this new vehicle program from Tesla for a while now.

Orders for the revamped model, which starts from US$36,292 have crossed 200,000 units, according to Chinese tech site 36kr.
