Tesla Giga Shanghai EV factory
The Tesla Giga Shanghai factory is the world's largest all-electric car manufacturing plant. In 2023, it produced close to 950,000 Model 3 and Model Y cars. Tesla EVs from Shanghai are sold mostly in China, while exports represent more than a third of the volume.
It's a positive sign considering the decline in the previous months, although it's too early to say that Tesla solved the slowdown issue.
* CPCA reports wholesale shipments, which are closely related to production. However, this figure does not necessarily represent registrations/customer deliveries.
The market situation remains challenging, and even BYD's all-electric car sales went down year-over-year in July.
Tesla MIC Model 3/Model Y wholesale shipments last month (YOY change):

For reference, in 2023, the total wholesale sales almost reached 950,000 units, up 33% year-over-year.
As of today, the initial CPCA data does not include July retail sales and export numbers or individual results for the two models. However, during the January-June period, both categories were down by 5.4% and 18.7% year-over-year, respectively.
Below, we share the total wholesale sales of the Model 3 and the Model Y through June 2024. Model 3's total volume slightly increased in the first half of the year, reaching 169,644 units (up 6%), while the Model Y was down nearly 19% year-over-year at 256,979.
