# Eight consecutive months of decline! Tesla China's wholesale sales in May fell 15% year-on-year to 61,662 vehicles

According to the data from the China Passenger Car Association, Tesla's (TSLA.US) sales of China-made electric vehicles in May fell by 15% year-on-year, totaling 61,662 units sold. This statistic includes the domestic sales and export volume of the Model 3 and Model Y produced at the Shanghai Gigafactory.

This marks the eighth consecutive month of year-on-year sales decline for Tesla in the world's largest automotive market. However, compared to April, the delivery volume of its domestic Model 3/Y saw a slight month-on-month increase of 5.5%.

It is noteworthy that the decline in Tesla's electric vehicle sales continues in most regions of Europe.

Faced with strong competition from local automakers, particularly BYD (01211), which saw a remarkable 14.1% year-on-year increase in passenger car sales to 376,930 units in May, Tesla's market pressure continues to intensify.

The current Chinese electric vehicle market is caught in a heated price war, with over 40 participating brands. Since 2023, although Tesla was the first to significantly cut prices, it still faces challenges from local competitors offering high-performance products at lower prices
