Tesla China's Dec Wholesale Sales Rise to 97,171 Units, Its 2nd-Highest Ever

Tesla continued its sales rebound for China-made vehicles last month after declines throughout most of 2025.

Tesla China's December wholesale sales reached 97,171 vehicles, including both domestic sales and exports from China to overseas markets, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

This marks its second-highest monthly total on record, trailing only November 2022's 100,291 units.

The wholesale volume increased by 3.63 percent compared to 93,766 units the same period last year, marking the second consecutive month of year-on-year growth, and rose by 12.08 percent from November's 86,700 units.

This growth may partly stem from Tesla accelerating deliveries in China toward year-end to enable consumers to benefit from more favorable purchase tax policies in 2025.

However, annual wholesale sales still declined due to drops in most months of 2025.

Tesla China's wholesale sales for 2025 totaled 851,732 units, down 7.08 percent year-on-year.

Tesla operates a factory in Shanghai producing the Model 3 sedan and Model Y, serving both domestic customers and as an export hub.
