BEIJING — Tesla Inc. has secured Chinese government approval to sell longer-range China-made Model 3 vehicles in China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said on Friday.
The vehicles will have a driving range of more than 372 miles before they need to be recharged, the ministry said in a statement, while the current China-made Model 3 has a standard driving range of more than 249 miles.
Tesla started delivering cars in December from its $2 billion factory in Shanghai.
