Additional sales data from China reveals Tesla’s exports and retail sales in the world’s largest electric car market for the month of October.<\/p>\n
According to the China Passenger Car Association’s (CPCA) data, the overall volume of Tesla MIC Model 3\/Model Y wholesale vehicle shipments last month amounted to 72,115 units, which is barely 0.6 percent more than a year ago.<\/p>\n
* CPCA reports wholesale shipments, not registrations\/customer deliveries.<\/em><\/p>\n
Out of that number, 28,626 units were sold in China (up 66 percent year-over-year) and 43,489 units were exported (down 20 percent year-over-year).<\/p>\n
We guess that November will bring higher volume, especially when it comes to retail sales in China. That’s because of the ramp-up of production and deliveries of\u00a0the significantly upgraded Model 3 (code name Highland) and slightly updated Tesla Model Y.<\/p>\n

One of the most interesting things is that Tesla is expected to increase Model 3 and Model Y prices in China. According to unofficial reports (via CnEVPost<\/em>), the price increase might happen on November 9.<\/p>\n
The question is whether it will be a significant change and if it’s somehow related to a potentially higher demand for the updated Tesla cars.?<\/p>\n
The detailed sales data for individual model sales in China is available only through September. The Model 3 was down in September because of the switchover to a new version.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The decrease in retail sales of the Tesla Model Y in China was small and we guess that the following months will bring some growth.<\/p>\n
