Tesla’s China-Made EV Sales Just Nearly Doubled. Should You Buy TSLA Stock Now in Hopes of an Auto Business Rebound?

Tesla (TSLA) was in a rough patch in China over the past year, as deliveries softened amid fierce local competition and shifting incentives. Tesla’s mainland retail sales slipped about 5% in 2025 versus 2024, reversing the prior year’s roughly 9% rise that had briefly masked mounting pressure.
