China has joined other markets in offering limited-time incentives on its vehicles, including discounts on paint and more. In multiple posts on Weibo in the last few weeks,
Tesla has noted that it’s offering special, limited-time deals on paint colors and insurance subsidies for its Model S, 3, X and Y units, lasting until March 31. In addition to the
Model 3 and Model Y deals announced late last month , the automaker on Friday said it would offer an additional option for the Model S and Model X, marking an even better deal on paint options than was previously announced for the Model 3 and Model Y. For the Model S and X, Tesla is offering free upgrade paint options and a low annual interest rate starting at 2.5 percent, with both of these options being available on vehicles delivered by March 31.

Currently, the Model S purchase price starts at ¥698,900 (~$98,430), while the Model X starts at ¥738,900 (~$104,063). As announced a few weeks ago, Tesla is also offering a limited-time insurance subsidy of ¥8,000 (~$1,127) on the Model 3 and Model Y RWD configurations when taking delivery by March 31. The automaker is also offering paint color options for just ¥2,000 (~$282), and it’s offering special annual interest rates as low as 1.99 percent. The incentives come alongside similar programs offered in the European and North
American markets, including a U.S. special in which buyers and those who make a trade-in will receive 5,000 free Supercharging miles , so long as they take delivery by March 31. The automaker also announced plans to increase the price of the Model Y in Europe later this week, and in the U.S. after this month .
