NextFin News — Tesla’s sales of Chinese-made electric vehicles increased 39.4% year-over-year in May, extending the manufacturer's volume growth for a seventh consecutive month, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association released on Tuesday.
Deliveries of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles from Tesla's Shanghai manufacturing plant, which includes units exported to Europe and other international markets, reached 85,982 units, representing an 8.2% increase from April. The U.S. automaker also experienced a rebound in new registrations across multiple European markets during the month, extending a recovery following prior demand weakness on the continent.
Concurrently, Chinese competitor BYD maintained strong shipments to Europe and other global markets, ending an eight-month losing streak. As Chinese rivals accelerate upgrades to their smart-driving technologies, Tesla continues to await regulatory approval to deploy its advanced driver-assistance features within the Chinese mainland market.
