Tesla has been studying whether parts made by its China-based suppliers are compliant with local regulations in North America, and if they are, could ship China-made Model Y and Model 3 cars for sale there as soon as next year, said [two people with knowledge of the planning told Reuters], who declined to be named as the matter is private.
That could also open a channel for exports to Canada, one of the people said.
Until recently, Tesla had been selling or shipping for export every vehicle it could produce in Shanghai, but inventory levels rose by their largest margin ever in October, according to data from brokerage CMBI.

Interesting, Tesla has never faced a demand problem before. With China being such a huge market, I'm a little surprised to see demand softening there, but I guess they have loads of competition in EVs now. I wonder if this is the first domino in demand weakening falling, and the trend will continue globally.
