Tesla China saw 8,500 new vehicle registrations in the week of October 7 to 13, 2024, the second week of Q4 2024. This represents a week-over-week increase of 372.22% from the 1,800 Tesla vehicles that were registered in China during the week ending October 6.
Tesla China does not report its weekly sales figures, though a general idea of the company’s overall performance in the country’s domestic auto market can be inferred through new vehicle insurance registrations. Fortunately, these registrations are closely tracked by industry watchers and automakers such as Li Auto.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk noted that he expects the company to exceed its results in the full year 2023 when the electric vehicle maker sold a total of 1,808,581 vehicles globally. From the first quarter to the third quarter, Tesla has so far delivered 1,293,656 vehicles globally. Thus, if Tesla wishes to meet or exceed its full year 2023 sales, the company would have to deliver about 515,000 vehicles this Q4 2024.
