Tesla’s China sales continued to soar in December, with the EV maker selling a total of 93,766 vehicles, including both domestic and export sales. This marked an impressive 18.91 percent increase from the previous month’s sales figures. While this number was slightly lower than December 2023’s sales of 94,139 units, it still represents a strong performance for Tesla in the Chinese market.
The success of Tesla’s sales in China can be attributed to its Shanghai factory, which produces the popular Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover. These vehicles are not only delivered to local customers but also serve as an export hub for Tesla, allowing the company to reach customers in overseas markets.
For the full year 2024, Tesla reported record-breaking sales of approximately 657,000 units in China, marking an 8.8 percent increase from the previous year. This impressive growth highlights the strong demand for Tesla vehicles in the Chinese market.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Tesla China’s sales, including exports, totaled around 240,900 units, accounting for nearly half of the company’s global quarterly deliveries. This underscores the significant contribution of the Chinese market to Tesla’s overall sales performance.
Looking ahead, more precise figures for Tesla’s China sales and exports are expected to be released next week, providing a detailed breakdown of the company’s performance in the region. With consistently strong sales figures and a growing presence in the Chinese market, Tesla is well-positioned to maintain its momentum and continue to drive growth in the EV sector.
Overall, Tesla’s success in China underscores the company’s strong performance and growing popularity in one of the world’s largest automotive markets. With a diverse range of electric vehicles and a strong manufacturing presence in the region, Tesla is poised to capitalize on the increasing demand for sustainable transportation options in China and beyond.
