Tesla's sales of electric vehicles produced in China in September this year increased by 2.8% year-on-year.
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ Wholesale sales in China grew by 2.8% year-on-year in September, reaching 90,812 units, ending two consecutive months of decline. This follows the start of deliveries of its new six-seat model in China. Sales of the Model 3 and Model Y vehicles produced at Tesla's Shanghai factory, including those exported to Europe and other markets, increased by 9.2% compared to August.
Previously, it was reported that the American automaker also saw a partial rebound in sales this month in Europe. Tesla’s China-manufactured electric vehicles began deliveries to India last month. In the third quarter, Tesla delivered 241,890 China-made electric vehicles, marking the fourth-highest volume on record.
Globally, the electric vehicle manufacturer exceeded analysts' expectations with a record quarterly delivery volume as the US tax credit for electric vehicles expired at the end of September, triggering a rush of purchases.
Tesla launched its long-promised affordable versions of the Model Y and Model 3, with deliveries scheduled to begin between December and January in many regions. However, no delivery date has been announced yet for China.
To address the increasingly severe challenges in the world’s largest automotive market, Tesla introduced the six-seat version of the Model Y L—the extended-wheelbase variant of its best-selling Model Y—in August. Deliveries of this new model commenced in September.
