The new models will also include cheaper lithium iron phosphate batteries, according to Reuters report.
Another report, from Electrek'news website, suggested that Tesla's third quarter deliveries could come in at a record high later this week, and a substantial part of that is its strong China sales which surpassed 11,000 last month.
