Recently, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) announced the top selling car models for May 2021.
The phenomenon in the low-priced electric vehicle market, Wuling Hong Guang MINIEV, still maintains a significant lead with sales approaching almost 30,000 units in a single month. In May, Tesla, whose sales were not expected to perform well, also dispelled doubts by achieving impressive figures.
The domestic sales of the Model 3 increased by about 3,000 units compared to the previous month, reaching 9,208 units. The domestic production of the Model Y was halted for two weeks last month due to a production line upgrade, but quickly recovered from 5,407 units to 12,768 units, surpassing the Model 3 for the first time and setting a new record for single-month sales.
Tesla China’s exports in May were 11,527 vehicles, a decrease of about 3,000 vehicles month-on-month. The dynamic adjustment of export quantities is one of the reasons for Tesla’s domestic sales fluctuations in the past two months.
Among other car models, Changan Benni EV showed a significant growth of more than 8,000 units compared to the previous month.
