Tesla's China Sales Slip Over 10% in Mid-June After Strong May Surge

Tesla

Tesla Inc.‘s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Chinese sales have gone down in the third week of June after experiencing steady growth in the country in May.

Check out the current price of TSLA stock here.

What Happened: Tesla recorded over 13,800 new insured registrations in the Chinese domestic market for the week of June 16 to June 22, according to data shared by influencer Roland Pircher on X on Tuesday.

The registrations fell almost 11% compared to the previous week's 15,500 new registrations and almost 21% year-on-year. Data shared by Pircher also showcased that the company's sales went down 7.6% year-to-date.

Why It Matters: The news comes in as Tesla had recently topped the sales charts in China with the company's Model Y emerging as the best-selling SUV in the country during the month of May.

Tesla had also exported the Model Y Juniper out of China for the first time recently and had registered over 38,588 units sold in May, which was a 34% increase compared to the previous month.

Elsewhere, Elon Musk's company had recently penned down a deal with the local government in Shanghai to set up a grid-scale energy storage facility in the city with the company's Megapacks as part of a $550 million investment.
