Tesla is considering exporting made-in-China electric cars to the United States, two people with knowledge of the planning told Reuters, a reversal that would reflect the automaker's deepening cost advantage at its Shanghai plant and slower demand from Chinese consumers.

The Shanghai plant makes Model 3 sedans and Model Y crossovers to sell in China and for export to markets including Europe, Australia and South East Asia. It could also be politically contentious. Tesla has been widely seen as one of major beneficiaries of the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act , which offers rebates of up to $7,500 on EV purchases as part of a law intended to push automakers to reduce their reliance on China.
The California plant, Tesla's first, produces the Model S, the Model 3 sedans and the Model X and Model Y crossovers. The Texas plant, which opened earlier this year, makes the Model Y and will produce Tesla's upcoming Cybertruck.
