Tesla Records Best Week Of The Quarter With 14.3K New Registrations In China, Still Down 12% Amid Sales Woes

Tesla hit its strongest week of the quarter in China with 14,300 insured registrations from September 1st to the 7th, up 41% from the prior quarter, according to influencer Roland Pircher. Registrations fell 12% year-over-year, with year-to-date sales are down 7.8%. The rebound comes after Tesla’s August deliveries in China dropped more than 10% to 57,152 units, its sixth monthly decline in 2025. Strong demand for the newly launched six-seater Model Y L SUV, with over 120,000 orders, has helped offset weakness. Tesla also cut the Model 3 Long Range price by 3.7% in China to compete with rivals like Xpeng’s $30,000 P7 sedan. Tesla’s U.S. market share slipped below 40% for the first time since 2017, now at about 38%.
