A Tesla Delivery Center in China was full of buyers taking delivery over the weekend, as captured in video footage and bolstered by the holiday and recent incentives.
X user TslaChan posted photos and videos from Tesla’s Beijing Crab Island Delivery Center, as taken during China’s Valentine’s Day celebrations on Saturday. The media shows the center nearly full of couples and families waiting to take delivery on the holiday, and it comes after Tesla recently extended new incentives and loan offers in the country.
The photos and videos show tons of people sitting in the lounge areas, along with a handful of people on a lower level actually preparing to take delivery of the vehicles.

Chan notes that the Beijing Crab Island Delivery Center can deliver over 100 vehicles simultaneously inside its doors when full. He also shared photos of Tesla’s Hangzhou Delivery Center on Saturday, showing the lounge areas similarly packed out with buyers.
Tesla has also been seeing high delivery volumes in China in recent weeks, with the automaker delivering 46,227 vehicles domestically in July from its Gigafactory in Shanghai. The figure represents Tesla’s best first month in a quarter yet in China, though the company topped the figure in June with 59,261 domestic deliveries to end Q2.
Along with the holiday on Saturday, Tesla China recently extended its offer for a five-year, zero-interest loan on Model 3 and Model Y units, now set to run through the end of this month. The automaker initially extended the offer in late June, then set to end at the end of July.
Tesla’s Model Y was officially named the best-selling new energy vehicle in China for the first half of the year, with 207,817 units sold to outsell the second-best-seller by around 30,000 units. Along with Tesla’s Giga Shanghai supplying the local market, the factory also exports vehicles to a number of surrounding countries in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and others still.
