SHANGHAI :Tesla in June achieved its highest monthly sales of China-made vehicles since opening its Shanghai plant in 2019, data showed on Friday, as the U.S. carmaker ramped up output which had been hit by the city's COVID-19 lockdown.
Tesla also achieved the highest monthly output at its Shanghai plant in June, added CPCA's Secretary General Cui Dongshu, without giving a specific number. CEO Elon Musk had urged staff to work harder to make up for the losses at the end of the"very tough" quarter after China's zero-COVID lockdowns caused deeper disruptions to output than he had predicted.
China's overall passenger car sales in June totalled 1.97 million, up 22 per cent from a year earlier helped by government measures, CPCA said. Cui expected car sales in July to increase by around 20 per cent from a year ago, while demand could further strengthen in the fourth quarter, leading to strong growth for the whole year.
