The China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), has reported that 14,954 Tesla Model 3 vehicles were sold in June. That is a 35% increase from May–when Tesla sold 11,095 units, and a 311% increase from April, when 3,635 units were sold. This shows then, Model 3 sales are up on the rise in China; a tough market that Tesla has wanted to capture for a very long time.
The EV market in China has taken a beating this year due to the lockdown crisis. In February, there were only 15,000 Electric Vehicles registered in China reported by the CPCA. This an all-time low in over three years. Furthermore, the Chinese market was down by 82% in February.
However, despite all of this Tesla managed to capture a third of the Chinese electric vehicle market. The Model 3 topped February’s monthly electric vehicle sales at 2,284.

This is mainly thanks to the Shanghai-based Gigafactory 3, and production and sales of the Model 3 sedan in China. Recently, Tesla launched Cybertruck reservations in China, adding another vehicle set to enter the mainland Chinese market, aside from Model Y, expected soon.
