Tesla’s success in China is reaching new heights, with the company achieving its highest weekly insured units mark of the year so far. According to data shared by @Tslachan on X, Tesla China recorded 21,000 insured vehicle registrations for the week of March 24–30. This marks a significant increase from the previous week’s 17,400 units and represents the strongest single-week performance in the first quarter of 2025.
The surge in insured vehicle registrations is indicative of strong local demand, particularly following the recent launch of the new Model Y in China. The Model Y, which began deliveries in late February, has been well-received by consumers and is driving sales growth for Tesla in the region.
Tesla’s weekly sales figures have been on an upward trajectory throughout March, with 15,300 units sold during March 10–16, 13,800 units from March 3–9, and 12,400 units in the week ending March 2. As of March 30, Tesla China’s year-to-date total stands at approximately 137,200 units, up from 133,200 units during the same period in 2024.
In 2024, Tesla sold around 657,000 vehicles in China, marking an 8.8% increase year-over-year. The company’s strong sales performance was driven by popular models like the Model Y and Model 3, as well as incentives such as zero-interest financing and insurance subsidies offered in early 2025.
Notably, in March alone, Tesla sold 43,370 Model Y units in China, making it the top-selling premium electric SUV in the country for that month. The success of the Model Y underscores Tesla’s expanding presence in the Chinese market and its ability to cater to the preferences of local consumers.
Looking ahead, Tesla is set to announce its Q1 earnings tomorrow, and industry experts are eagerly anticipating the financial results. With Tesla’s momentum in China continuing to build, the company is poised for further growth and success in the region.
