Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has rolled out an updated Model Y version in China, with some improved features, although its starting price was left unchanged.
The improved features include a new wheel design and a slightly faster 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.9 seconds, Tesla (TSLA) said in a WeChat post on Sunday.

The starting price for the updated version remains 263.9K yuan (~$36.7K)
The rollout comes amid intensifying competition in China from local automakers such as BYD, Nio and Xpeng, all of whom are expanding their lineups.
Note that Tesla (TSLA) is slated to report its Q3 deliveries and production figures this week, with more wildcards in the mix.
