Tesla reported rising sales of China-made electric vehicles, marking a second consecutive quarter of growth despite intensifying competition.<\/p>\n

Sales of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles produced at Tesla\u2019s Shanghai factory, including exports, rose 8.7% year-on-year to 85,670 units in March, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association.<\/p>\n

This marked the fifth straight month of rising sales. The increase was supported by recovering demand in Europe. <\/p>\n

Higher oil prices linked to the Iran crisis could also be benefiting electric vehicle makers.<\/p>\n

For the January to March period, China-made Tesla sales rose 23.5% compared with a year earlier. <\/p>\n

This represents a sharp acceleration from the 1.9% growth recorded in the previous quarter.<\/p>\n

Global deliveries expected to rebound<\/h2>\n

Tesla is set to report its global first-quarter delivery figures on Thursday. <\/p>\n

Wall Street expects around 366,000 vehicles sold, up from roughly 337,000 a year earlier.<\/p>\n

The anticipated rebound follows a weak first quarter in 2025, when Tesla reported deliveries well below expectations. <\/p>\n

At the time, analysts had projected about 378,000 units, but actual deliveries missed consensus by more than 10% and declined 13% year-on-year.<\/p>\n

The earlier decline was partly attributed to consumer backlash linked to CEO Elon Musk\u2019s political views.<\/p>\n

Competitive pressures persist<\/h2>\n

Despite recent growth, Tesla continues to face strong competition, particularly in China and Europe.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s share of China\u2019s electric vehicle market has declined to 8%, down from 10% in 2024. <\/p>\n

In Europe, Tesla lost nearly half of its market share last year amid rising competition from local and Chinese manufacturers.<\/p>\n

BYD remains Tesla\u2019s biggest Chinese rival and continues to pressure the company in overseas markets, including Europe.<\/p>\n

Europe registrations indicate demand recovery<\/h2>\n

Recent registration data points to improving demand across several European markets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In France, Tesla registrations rose 203% year-on-year to 9,569 <\/a>vehicles in March, according to the PFA industry body. This was just below the record of 9,572 units set in December 2023.<\/p>\n

Registrations also increased significantly elsewhere. Norway recorded a 178% rise to 6,150 vehicles, while Sweden and Denmark saw increases of 144% and 96% to 1,447 and 1,784 units, respectively.<\/p>\n

In other markets, registrations rose 72% in the Netherlands to 1,819 vehicles and 25% in Spain to 2,477, based on data from RAI and ANFAC.<\/p>\n

For the full quarter, registrations increased 108% in France, 95% in Norway, 48% in Sweden, 50% in Denmark and 43% in Spain, while falling 23% in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Tesla said in a letter to British media last month that registration trends are often skewed toward the end of each quarter due to shipping patterns.<\/p>\n

Strategy expands beyond EVs<\/h2>\n

At the same time, Tesla is broadening its focus beyond electric vehicles. <\/p>\n

The company is positioning solar energy, humanoid robots and autonomous robotaxis as future growth drivers.<\/p>\n

While China-made vehicle sales and European demand show signs of recovery, Tesla\u2019s near-term performance will remain closely tied to its upcoming delivery report and its ability to navigate rising competition across key markets.
