Tesla China saw a significant increase in new vehicle registrations during the week of June 9 to 15, 2025, with a remarkable 80% week-over-week growth.
Tesla China posted its highest insurance registration numbers in Q2 so far, recording 15,500 registrations, an 80% increase compared to the previous week.
The recent surge in registrations marks the highest figures Tesla has achieved in China over the past ten weeks.
In the same week, Xpeng observed a 52% increase to 6,400 registrations, and Nio saw a 9.3% rise to 4,700 registrations.
The growth of new registrations for Tesla's Model Y was particularly notable, with an estimated delivery of 11,200 units, indicating strong demand for the vehicle.
Tesla's performance in the Chinese auto market is reflected through new vehicle registration data, although the company itself does not disclose weekly figures.
Tesla's domestic sales in China in May totaled 38,588 units, a 30% decline year-over-year, but a 34% increase from April. Giga Shanghai also exported 23,074 vehicles in May.
The week of June 9 to 15 showed 15.5k Tesla registrations, up by 79.5% over the prior week and by 32.5% year-over-year.
The quarter's performance was slightly down both quarter-over-quarter (-3.1%) and year-over-year (-16.6%), with Q2 showing a decrease of 40.1% compared to Q4 2024.
Tesla China's weekly registrations were not officially reported, but industry watchers closely monitor and report on these figures.
Tesla's strong week-over-week growth in registrations was notably higher than that of other Chinese EV brands like Xpeng and Nio.
The increased delivery of Model Y units by Tesla suggests that the demand for the all-electric crossover remains robust.
As Tesla enters the final two weeks of Q2, the strong performance of the Model Y could significantly impact the company's quarterly sales numbers.
Despite the year-over-year decline in May sales, Tesla's month-to-month sales in China showed an upward trend.
Tesla China's performance will have significant implications on its Q2 sales figures, which could heavily rely on the success of the Model Y.
Industry analysts expect Tesla to leverage the remaining weeks of Q2 to boost its quarterly sales numbers further.
Tesla China's performance, especially regarding Model Y sales, is closely monitored by industry experts and automakers like Li Auto.
