TESLA’S Model S and Model X were not available for order in some Asia-Pacific countries, including Australia, Thailand, Singapore and New Zealand, the carmaker’s website showed on Sunday (Apr 30).
Other Tesla Inc models, such as Model 3 and Model Y were available in these countries, the website indicated.
It was not immediately clear why these models were not available. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Elon Musk’s electric vehicle maker posted record deliveries in the January-March quarter, but deliveries of higher-priced Model X and Model S vehicles slumped by 38 per cent.
Tesla has been aggressively cutting prices for some of its models this year across markets to juice demand as competition among electric-vehicle makers heats up around the world.
Investors have been watching Musk’s gamble that cutting prices would stimulate sales, although they worry about eroding margins. REUTERS
