Tesla has suspended taking new orders for Model S and Model X vehicles on its Chinese website, Reuters checks showed on Friday, as the world’s two largest economies exchange blows in a trade war. Both models are made in the U.S. and imported to China. New orders for the two models were also no longer available on the automaker’s WeChat mini program account in China. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. While the company did not give a reason for the move, it comes as China and U.S. have been locked in an escalating trade war. China on Friday raised its tariffs on U.S. imports to 125% on Friday after President Donald Trump’s decision to hike duties on Chinese goods to 145%. Higher U.S. tariffs significantly increases the retail cost for Chinese consumers, making these cars more expensive than locally produced EVs. The Austin, Texas-based company is least affected by Trump’s tariffs among automakers due to its largely domestic manufacturing for sales in the U.S.
