Tesla China experienced a 55.29% jump in vehicle registrations for the week of October 14-20, 2024, totaling 13,200 new vehicles. This surge highlights Tesla's growing dominance in the Chinese market, driven by the strong performance of the Model Y and Model 3.
Industry Data Reveals Tesla China’s 6.7% Year-to-Date Growth, Driven by Monitoring of Insurance Registrations
In the week of October 14-20, 2024, Tesla China marked a significant milestone with a 55.29% surge in new vehicle registrations, totaling 13,200. According to Teslarati, this substantial increase, compared to the 8,500 vehicles registered in the previous week, ending October 13, 2024, underscores Tesla's rapid growth and competitive standing in the Chinese automotive market.
While China does not publicly disclose its domestic weekly sales results, the automotive industry benefits from the diligent efforts of industry watchers and automakers like Li Auto. Their attentive monitoring and reporting on Tesla Insurance registrations provide valuable insight into Tesla China's overall performance in the automotive market.
According to Li Auto's most recent data, Tesla China registered 13,200 new vehicles during the week ending October 20, 2024. These findings indicate that Tesla China's domestic registrations have increased by 6.7% year-to-date compared to its 2023 figures. This is remarkable, as the EV manufacturer's domestic registrations were significantly behind those of the previous year until the third quarter.
Tesla Achieves Strong September Sales, Model Y and Model 3 Lead in China’s Competitive Market
According to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), China wholesaled 88,321 vehicles in September. Tesla's wholesale results for September are the second-highest of the year, trailing only the 89,064 vehicles sold wholesale in March 2024. Of the 88,321 wholesale cars sold last month, 72,200 were sold in China's domestic market. In September 2024, the CPCA reported that 16,121 vehicles were exported to foreign markets.
With the Model Y crossover and Model 3 sedan performing well in their respective segments, Tesla is one of the few foreign carmakers successfully competing in China's domestic auto market. The upcoming release of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in China is also a topic of considerable enthusiasm. However, recent local reports indicate that the advanced driver-assist system may not be released until after the first quarter of 2025, slightly later than anticipated.
