According to data released by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), Tesla's sales in China in February were approximately 30,000 units, a nearly 50% decrease compared to 60,000 units in the same period last year and a sharp drop of over 50% from 63,000 units in January this year.
Moving forward, Tesla will face the impact of new tariff policies implemented by President Trump. On March 4, U.S. tariffs targeting Canada and Mexico took effect, and some of Tesla's key suppliers are located in these two countries.
Additionally, Tesla CEO Elon Musk holds multiple roles in other companies or departments, such as SpaceX, xAI, X, and DOGE, which may continue to divert his attention away from Tesla.
