Tesla’s sales in China have hit a three-year low in October, with retail figures falling to 26,006 units, the lowest since November 2022. This decline can be attributed to several factors, including a waning interest in the Model Y L and a surge in exports from the Shanghai factory. The electric vehicle (EV) maker’s performance in the world’s largest EV market is under scrutiny as competition intensifies. But here’s where it gets interesting: Tesla is reportedly working on two new vehicle projects, codenamed E41 and D50, which could be stripped-down versions of the current Model Y and Model 3, respectively. These projects may help Tesla regain its momentum in the Chinese market. However, the company’s exports have been on the rise, with 35,491 vehicles exported from China in October, the highest monthly figure since November 2023. This represents a significant 27.69% year-on-year increase. Tesla’s wholesale sales in October, including both sales in China and exports, totaled 61,497 vehicles, a 9.93% year-on-year decline. The Model Y wholesale sales in October were 38,562 units, while Model 3 wholesale sales were 22,935 units. As for the future, Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system has received partial approval in China, with full approval expected around February or March next year. This development could be a game-changer for Tesla’s autonomous driving capabilities in the country. So, what do you think? Do you agree or disagree with Tesla’s strategy in China?
