Electric vehicle giant Tesla experienced continued growth from its Chinese operations in April, with sales climbing 36% compared to the same month in 2023, according to new industry data released Thursday.
The Shanghai manufacturing facility delivered a total of 79,478 electric vehicles last month, including both Model 3 and Model Y variants destined for domestic Chinese customers as well as international exports to European and other global markets, the China Passenger Car Association reported.
While the April figures represent the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases for Tesla’s Chinese operations, the numbers did show a monthly decline of 7.2% compared to March deliveries.
The positive sales trend comes as Tesla faces growing competitive pressure in China, one of its most important global markets alongside the United States, where numerous domestic and international automakers are expanding their electric vehicle offerings.
