The company's official X account for updates in Taiwan did not share the poster. It is unclear if the post was shared by Tesla to customers via mail.
Benzinga has reached out to Tesla for confirmation and will update the story once we receive a response.
Why It Matters: Tesla sells its Model 3, Y, S, and X in Taiwan.
The company's Model 3 sedan, its cheapest offering, starts at about NT$1.7 million ($51,861) in the country while its more popular Model Y SUV starts at about NT$1.73 million ($52,929).
This is not the first time that Costco has sold products of a company led by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. SpaceX's Starlink hardware can also be purchased from Costco in select geographies.
