JD Tesla Official Flagship Store In February of this year, the official flagship store of Tesla officially launched on JD.com. Currently, it does not offer car sales services, only selling charging products, car accessories, as well as clothing, toys, daily necessities, and other peripheral products. In addition, it also offers test drive reservations and the purchase of whole car extended warranty services. In July of this year, the Tesla Cyberquad toy car went online, with a price of 11,990 yuan (1680$), and it is sold simultaneously on the Tesla China official website, Tmall, and the JD Tesla official flagship store, belonging to the “peripheral boutique” – “toy” category. In September of this year, there were reports that JD.com will soon launch Tesla car ordering services. At that time, JD responded that the news was not true. Currently, Tesla only sells cars through direct sales, and the online ordering channels are the Tesla official website and official app, without cooperating with e-commerce platforms to sell cars. In 2014, the Tesla Tmall flagship store went offline after just one week.
