According to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), Tesla’s sales in China dropped by 98 percent in April, with the company producing 10,757 vehicles but selling only 1,512. In March, Tesla produced 55,462 automobiles at its Shanghai factory and sold 65,814. Tesla sold a record 310,000 vehicles in the third quarter, despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk calling it an “exceptionally challenging quarter” due to production closures in Shanghai at the end of March and global supply chain challenges.
