Disgruntled Tesla Inc owners swarmed showrooms in China over the weekend to complain about missing out on another round of price cuts as the company tries to boost sales in the world’s biggest electric-vehicle market.

Posts on Chinese social media showed Tesla owners at different stores and distribution centers voicing their frustration about the cuts, which followed discounts made in October. Bloomberg News wasn’t able to independently verify the footage. Tesla didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
