American electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has launched two models in Thailand on Wednesday as the car maker continues its expansion into the Asian market. The announcement marks the company’s first venture into a region that has long been dominated by Japanese manufacturers.

The launch comes as Thailand makes a push for EV adoption and production by offering tax cuts and subsidies. The two EVs have a price range between THB 1.7 million to THB 2.5M (($48,447 to $71,205), and will be available via online channels, with deliveries set to start early next year.

However, Tesla faces stiff competition from Chinese brands like BYD (HK:1211) and Great Wall Motor (HK:2333), which have set up showrooms and distribution partners in recent years to reach customers and offer EVs with prices starting at 800,000 baht.

Shares of TSLA are down 2.93% in pre-market trading on Wednesday.
