Tesla China Sales Surge In August After Price Cuts: Did EV Maker Outpace Chinese Rivals?
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Tesla's China sales rose year-over-year and month-over-month in August, thanks to price cuts. Tesla sold 84,159 made-in-China electric vehicles in August, a 9.4% increase from the previous year and a 30.92% increase from July. This comes amid strong sales reported by domestic EV manufacturers, including Nio, XPeng, Li Auto, and BYD Company. However, Tesla's stock has been stuck since its Q2 results were reported on May 19, due to fears of a further hit to margins from the multiple price cuts.
