As of the end of November, Tesla’s cumulative sales in China were about 113,000 units, still 37,000 units short of Tesla’s delivery target of 150,000 units. In order to achieve this delivery target, Tesla needs to create a miracle in December.

In November, Tesla Model 3’s delivery volume exceeded 20,000 units for the first time. Based on the sales data from October, Tesla’s current sales have surpassed the sales champion of the luxury brand mid-size car, Audi A4L.

However, Tesla Model 3’s starting price of 2.499 million RMB cannot make it into the high-end car list of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

If the comparison range is expanded to all mid-size cars, Tesla Model 3’s delivery volume in November can also be compared to popular models such as Volkswagen Passat and Toyota Camry.

The top three new energy vehicle manufacturers in terms of sales volume in November were SAIC-GM-Wuling with 36,070 units, BYD with 26,015 units, and Tesla with 21,604 units. The delivery volume of the top three exceeded 20,000 units, and the sales of the three manufacturers accounted for 46.5% of the total new energy vehicle sales.
