Those two models are less than 0.3% of Teslas sales in China. Probably should have pulled them a couple years ago since it makes zero sense to sell them at those miniscule levels.

Tesla manufactures the bulk of its China-sold vehicles including the Model 3 and Model Y at its Shanghai facility. These models accounted for nearly all of the company's 657,000 deliveries in China last year, while just 1,553 Model X and 311 Model S units were imported, according to data from the China Auto Dealers Association.
