BEIJING, March 11 (Reuters) – Sales of Tesla’s China-made electric vehicle rose for a fourth month in a row in February, as a low comparison base from last year outweighed headwinds from seasonal factors.
Sales of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles made in its Shanghai plant, including exports to markets including Europe, totalled 58,600 units last month, up 91% from a year earlier and following a 9.3% rise in January, Tesla China said on Wednesday.
The sales were down 15.2% from January.
The U.S. automaker’s China-made EV deliveries in February 2025 were affected by a partial assembly line suspension for its refreshed Model Y over the Lunar New Year.
Sales in the first two months of the year tend to show big fluctuations due to shifting Lunar New Year times.
