Tesla included on Chinese govt electric vehicle purchase list for public, party, and government groups.

Tesla cars have been included on a Chinese local government's list of electric vehicles that can be bought by public, party and government groups for the first time. Tesla is the only foreign-owned car manufacturer on the list, alongside domestic Chinese auto brands like Geely-owned Volvo Cars, SAIC-owned MG, and state-owned Changan. This announcement comes at a critical time for Tesla in China, as the company seeks to expand its presence in the world's largest electric vehicle market.
