Tesla Inc. delivered its first China-built cars, a milestone for Elon Musk’s company as it accelerates a push in the world’s largest electric-vehicle market.
The company handed over the first 15 Model 3 sedans assembled at Tesla’s new multibillion-dollar Shanghai plant — its first outside the U.S. — to company employees at the facility Dec. 30. More workers will receive vehicles over the next couple of days, and deliveries to customers will start in January, company officials said at the ceremony.
