Based on the latest available data, Tesla delivered 8,700 Model Y vehicles in China during the first week of March 2025 (March 3-9)[3]. This figure represents a significant increase compared to the previous week and exceeds the total number of Model Y vehicles sold in China throughout the entire month of February 2025[3].
Key points:
1. The 8,700 Model Y deliveries in the first week of March show a 30% week-on-week growth compared to the previous week[3].
2. This delivery figure is notably higher than February’s total Model Y sales in China, which were only 8,006 units[3].
3. The increase in deliveries can be attributed to the launch of the refreshed Model Y, which began deliveries on February 26, 2025[3].
4. Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory has reportedly increased its production capacity to a maximum of 750,000 Model Y vehicles per year[3].
5. Internally, Tesla expects to sell 520,000 Model Y units in China for 2025, up from 480,000 sold in 2024[3].
It’s worth noting that these delivery numbers represent a significant recovery for Tesla in China, especially considering the slowdown experienced in February due to retooling for the new Model Y production[3].
