        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>China-made Teslas will become more expensive after local authorities cut subsidies in the world&#8217;s biggest auto market.</p><p>The Chinese government reduced electric vehicle subsidies by 10 percent on Thursday, granting a three-month transition period for the new pricing to kick in.</p><p>Tesla&#8217;s website shows that its Shanghai-made standard range Model 3 sedan will see its price increase by about $650 to $42,900, while its long range Model 3, which it plans to roll out in June, will be priced about $700 more expensive than its previous price point, at $48,600.</p><p>Tesla <strong>began delivering vehicles</strong> from its $2 billion Chinese Gigafactory at the end of 2019, less than a year after breaking ground. The electric automaker&#8217;s stock was goosed earlier this month in part by a <strong>450 percent month-over-month jump</strong> in Chinese car registrations.</p><p>The subsidies will apply only to passenger cars costing less than 300,000 yuan — about $42,300 — after the transition period. China will also further reduce subsidies by 20 percent in 2021 and 30 percent in 2022.</p><p>Hit by the coronavirus epidemic, China’s overall car sales fell 42 percent in the first three months compared with a year earlier. But the auto industry expects sales to recover as the government promises more supportive policies to boost consumption.</p><p>Shares of Tesla were trading flat Friday morning, and are up more than 40 percent in the past month, to $709.15.</p>]]></content:encoded>
