Where were they manufactured?

In China. But the majority of Teslas are manufactured are in China, and no one really considers Teslas "Chinese cars" or "Chinese EVs".

So manufactured in China like the article says.

Doesn't stop it from being misleading.

It's called "burying the lede".

It's misleading based on your arguably less important criteria, but OK

Wow, you think Teslas are "Chinese EVs". You're literally the first person I've encountered to think so. Also why lead into an article with a graphic of the least selling vehicle?

In Australia they’re all manufactured in China. So it’s a Chinese car.

Cars in high developed economies like Australia have until recently been mainly manufactured in highly developed economies like EU, Japan, US etc.

Isn’t there a Chinese Tesla factory?
