(CNN) – The trade war between the United States and China appears to have impacted Elon Musk.
Tesla has stopped taking orders for its Model S and Model X vehicles on its Chinese website, but the Model 3 and Model Y are still listed.
A key difference is that those vehicles are made at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai.
They are much more popular in China, which is the world’s largest car market.
The S and X are mostly produced in the U.S. and have always been niche vehicles in the Chinese market.
Neither Tesla nor Musk has commented on the matter, but it comes as China imposed new retaliatory tariffs of 125% on US imports.
U.S. tariffs on all Chinese goods have climbed to 145%.
