Tesla sold 69,129 China-made electric vehicles in January, marking a 9.3% increase from a year earlier and extending its sales gains for a third consecutive month, even as the company continues to lose market share in both China and Europe.
However, deliveries of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles produced at Tesla’s Shanghai factory — including units exported to Europe and other markets — fell sharply by 28.9% compared with December, according to data released on Wednesday by the China Passenger Car Association, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.
Tesla has recently launched a new all-wheel-drive (AWD) version of its best-selling Model Y SUV in the United States, with a starting price of $41,990.
The new variant is positioned above the lower-priced rear-wheel-drive “Standard” version and is part of Tesla’s broader strategy to expand its lineup of more affordable electric vehicles.
