Wholesale sales of Tesla China rose around 19% year-over-year (YoY)to 93,680 units in June, the highest monthly volume in the first half of the year, according to the China’s Passenger Car Association (CPCA). Tesla China maintained the second place by wholesale sales of new energy passenger car in June, data of the auto industry body showed. Tesla China sales were cooling off compared with the previous month. Its wholesale sales surged 142% YoY to 77,695 in May. Recent data showed Tesla is expected to become the champion by luxury car delivery in China in June, or even in the first half of year, the state-run newspaper Shanghai Securities News commented.

It builds Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in China and for exports. Vehicles made by Shanghai factory began to deliver for Thailand market in February.

Shipment in the factory increased 48% from a year earlier, despite a three-week shutdown owing to the Covid-19 that had made Tesla lost weeks’ of capacity. The outstanding performance was at the cost of various forms of price war. Tesla has launched five rounds of promotion including price cuts and various subsidies from the mid September to the end of 2022.
