Despite the fact that historically, August is not especially active for Tesla in terms of sales, data indicate that the company is experiencing robust growth. The popularity of the company's cars continues to grow along with the expansion of production facilities. Sales of passenger cars in China increased by 8.8% y-o-y in August; wholesale sales of new-energy vehicles exceeded 100,000 units, up 43.7% on a yearly basis, per data from the China Passenger Car Association.

 

In August, Giga Shanghai was able to produce 12,714 Model 3, and sell 11,811 units, according to the CPCA. China is the world's largest automotive market—as well as the largest EV market—far ahead of the US and some European countries. It’s exciting to see that Tesla is leading the charge.
