Tesla sold 33,463 China-made electric cars in May, including exports, a 29% jump from April, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) on Tuesday.
China’s overall passenger vehicle sales jumped 1.1% to 1.66 million cars in May from a year earlier, CPCA said.
Tesla’s China sales – accounting for nearly a third of its total sales – is closely watched as a sign of the US company’s health in its second biggest market, where the company has invested heavily and often changed its own marketing playbook to attract customers.
