Tesla China domestic sales up 7% month-over-month, down 20% year-over-year in June 2024
Data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) has revealed that Tesla China exported a total of 11,746 vehicles in June 2024. Considering that Tesla China sold 71,007 vehicles wholesale last month, the company’s domestic sales for June 2024 are 59,261 units.
Tesla China’s domestic vehicle sales of 59,261 units represent a 7% month-over-month increase from the 55,215 units sold to the local Chinese market in May 2024. They also represent a 20% year-over-year drop from the 74,212 vehicles sold in the domestic Chinese market in June 2023.

These results also mean that in June 2024, Tesla China’s exports saw a nearly 40% year-over-year decrease from the 19,468 units exported in June 2023. The electric vehicle maker also saw a 32% month-over-month decrease from the 17,358 units that were exported in May 2024.
The Tesla Model Y crossover remains the company’s ace in China. Among the 71,007 vehicles that were sold wholesale in June, 43,951 units were the Model Y. The reengineered Tesla Model 3 from Giga Shanghai saw 27,056 sales last month, including exports. Domestic sales figures for the Model Y and Model 3 for June 2024 are yet to be released. The same is true for Tesla China’s vehicle production results for the month.

Industry watchers such as CNEV Post indicate that Tesla China sold a total of 205,747 vehicles wholesale in Q2 2024, a 16.77% year-over-year and 6.85% quarter-over-quarter decrease. Tesla delivered a total of 443,956 vehicles globally in the second quarter, so it appears that Tesla China accounted for 46% of the company’s sales during Q2 2024.
From Q1 2024 to Q2 2024, Tesla China sold 426,623 vehicles wholesale, a 10.47% year-over-year drop. Considering that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is still hoping for Tesla to increase its sales this year, Tesla China would have to be extremely busy and productive in Q3 and Q4 2024. For context, Tesla delivered a total of 1,808,561 vehicles in FY 2023. From Q1 to Q2 2024, Tesla’s global vehicle deliveries reached 830,776 units.

Tesla bull Wedbush responds to Q1 deliveries: ‘A disaster on every metric’

Tesla bull Wedbush has responded to the company’s lackluster Q1 delivery figures, which were released on Wednesday morning in a new note from analyst Dan Ives.
Tesla reported deliveries of 336,681 vehicles in the first quarter of the year, a far cry from the Wall Street estimate of 352,000 and whisper numbers of roughly 350,000. At first glance, it seems to be a disaster, but Tesla said it lost “several weeks of production” in Q1 due to the ramp of the new Model Y at all four of its vehicle production factories.
This could be part of the reason that the company experienced a quarter of this performance, but there are also factors stemming from CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the U.S. government, which has created some pushback in various markets.
It’s tough to say how much of each issue caused this type of quarter, but Ives wrote in a note to investors that Wedbush could not look at this “with rose-colored glasses,” as the performance “was a disaster on every metric.”
Ives believes it is time for Musk to make a move:
“The Street and us knew a bad 1Q was coming but this was even worse than expected. The time has come for Musk….it’s a fork in the road moment. The more political he gets with DOGE the more the brand suffers, there is no debate. This quarter was an example of the damage Musk is causing Tesla. This continues to be a moment of truth for Musk to navigate this brand tornado crisis moment and get onto the other side of this dark chapter for Tesla with much better days ahead.”
Interestingly, the stock dropped over 5 percent after the delivery report. It quickly rebounded 8 percent and is currently up over 5 percent on the day after a report from Politico stated that Musk and President Donald Trump have discussed the CEO stepping back from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Based on that, it seems that investors were looking for Musk to step back from his government duties and show more public attention to Tesla. Realistically, we do not know how much of his time is being devoted to Tesla and its EV initiative. However, it seems investors were ready to hear something along the lines of Musk being more involved and speaking openly about Tesla and its projects.
It’s not all bad. Ives still recognizes Tesla’s prowess with the rollout of robotaxi and Full Self-Driving and how much impact it could have moving forward:
“Autonomous remains the biggest transformation to the auto industry in modern-day history and in our view, Tesla will own the autonomous market in the US and globally with the launch of unsupervised FSD in Austin kicking off the autonomous era at Tesla that we value at $1 trillion alone on a sum-of-the-parts valuation…”
With that being said, he also wants Musk to balance responsibilities with DOGE and Tesla:
“BUT…Musk needs to stop this political firestorm and balance being CEO of Tesla with DOGE. The future is so bright but this is a full blown crisis Tesla is navigating now and its primarily self-inflected. We remain firmly bullish on the long-term Tesla story but Musk needs to get his act together or else unfortunately darker times are ahead for Tesla.”
Tesla shares are trading at $283.01, up 5.42% at 1:57 p.m. on the East Coast.
