Tesla China does not report its weekly domestic sales figures, though a general idea of the company’s performance in the country’s automotive sector can be inferred through insurance registration data. Fortunately, these registrations are tracked by industry watchers and automakers such as Li Auto.
And as per industry watchers, Tesla China saw an impressive 22,600 new vehicle registrations in the week ending September 29. This was extremely impressive, as it represented a new record for the electric vehicle maker’s weekly domestic registrations. It also represented 63.77% increase over the registrations of the week ending September 22, which were listed at 13,800 units.
