Tesla's China-Made EV Sales Decline 11.5% in January

The drop in sales is attributed to production adjustments for a refreshed Model Y and the timing of the Chinese New Year holidays.

Tesla sold 63,238 China-made vehicles in January 2025, an 11.5% decrease compared to January 2024.
Sales also dropped 32.6% from December 2024, when the company sold 93,766 units.
The decline is partly linked to production line adjustments for the upcoming refreshed Model Y, with deliveries expected to begin globally in March.
The Chinese New Year holidays, which fell earlier this year, also impacted production and sales figures.
Tesla's competitor BYD saw a 47.5% year-over-year increase in January sales, reaching 296,446 units, driven by strong plug-in hybrid and EV performance.
