Tesla's sales in China have dipped, with deliveries dropping by 49% last month compared to the previous month.
BYD, a Chinese automaker, has seen its market share steadily rise in China, in contrast to Tesla.
BYD offers a wide range of electric and hybrid vehicles, while Tesla only sells two fully electric models in China.
Tesla's sales dip in China may not be solely due to Elon Musk's political activities, and the company's success in other countries suggests it is playing a different game.
