In December, Tesla China’s insurance registrations began to skyrocket. Although the official numbers for Tesla China’s progress in December will not be released until January, the insurance registrations provide a clue to just how strong the numbers are coming from China.
As of December 13, there was an estimated 11,670 insurance registrations which showed a 10% week-over-week increase.
In November, The Tesla Model Y was the second best-selling vehicle in China behind the BYD Song + DM-i PHEV. Although a PHEV isn’t a fully-electric vehicle, it is notable that the top two selling vehicles in China are classified as EVs. Along with Giga Berlin, Giga Shanghai is expected to play a key role in Tesla’s success this year.
