Sales figures of Tesla, which continues production without slowing down in its Chinese factory, have been announced. According to the statement made by the China Passenger Vehicle Association, there is a decrease in the sales figures of the vehicles produced by the US Tesla in China. And to a considerable extent.

There is an 18 percent decrease in Chinese production Tesla sales!

Elon Musk, who produces automobiles in his production facility in China, sells Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to the world from here. However, according to the statements made by the China Passenger Vehicle Association, the recently released figures show that Tesla is going backwards. The brand’s Chinese rival, BYD, is constantly increasing its sales.

Tesla, which sold a total of 62 thousand 167 cars in its factory in China in April 2024, sold 18 percent fewer vehicles compared to April last year. Sales figures, which decreased by 30.2 percent compared to March 2023, show that the popular brand does not attract as much attention as before.

When we look at BYD, its arch-rival in China, the situation is exactly the opposite. BYD, which increased its sales by 49 percent compared to April 2023, sold a total of 312 thousand 48 vehicles last month. The difference between BYD’s March and April sales is 3.5 percent.

Tesla, which reduced its workforce last month to reduce costs, is trying to reduce electric car prices to keep up with Chinese brands. The company, which has seen a decrease in sales for the first time in the last four years, will remain far behind Chinese automakers such as BYD. Let’s see what measures Tesla will take to increase sales figures.
