Here are Tesla’s retail delivery figures in China for Q1 2022, Q1 2023, Q1 2024, and Q1 2025 based on available data:
### **Tesla China Retail Deliveries**
1. **Q1 2022**
– Retail deliveries: Approximately **122,100 units**. This was the lowest quarterly figure until 2025 due to COVID-19 lockdowns and factory interruptions, as per additional context from related sources[1].

3. **Q1 2024**

4. **Q1 2025**
