The Chinese market became Tesla's first market
- The Chinese market became the primary market for Tesla, the California BEV maker. In March 2021, Tesla registered 35,478 vehicles in China while its sales did not exceed 23,050 units in the United States and 23,652 units in Europe.
- In the first quarter of 2021, Tesla registered almost as many cars in China (69,280 units) as in the United States (69,300 units), but as of April there is little doubt that sales in China will exceed those carried out in the United States. In addition, Tesla registered 30,683 units in Europe in the first quarter of 2021. No one would have imagined that the Chinese market would have become Tesla's number one market so quickly. The Californian carmaker inaugurated its Chinese plant only a year ago, and the Model 3 was immediately very successful.
- Tesla thus represents 1.5% of the Chinese market in the first quarter of 2021, i.e. a share ten times lower than that of the Volkswagen group, but the carmaker remains the second electric car brand in China, thanks to its Model 3 (52,859 sales ) and Model Y (16,422 sales). The Wuling brand remains ahead, thanks to the success of the HongGuang Mini EV (96,674 sales) which could reach 400,000 sales for the whole of 2021, against 132,000 in 2020.
- Finally, it should be noted that the market share in BEV and PHEV sales reached 21% for GM-Wuling, 14% for Tesla, 11% for BYD, 7% for SAIC MG-Roewe, 6% for Great Wall and 5% for NIO . These six carmakers occupy 64% of this specific market.
