On July 2, local time, American auto manufacturer Tesla released its latest financial report, which showed that it delivered 443,956 electric vehicles in the second quarter of this year, an increase of 14.8% from the previous quarter but a decrease of 4.8% from the same period last year. This is the first time Tesla has seen a year-on-year decline in sales for two consecutive quarters, but it still retains its position as the top seller of electric cars globally. Some analysts believe that although its overall sales performance is poor, Tesla has shown slight improvement in the Chinese and US markets. It has also just launched a limited-time car purchase discount policy in the Chinese market, which is a key factor in boosting its stock price. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, Tesla's Shanghai super factory delivered 71,000 vehicles in June, an increase of 7% month-on-month. In the second quarter of this year, Tesla's sales in China rose 10.2% month-on-month. (Global Network)
