Why It Matters: Tesla sold 86,697 China-made EVs in August, including exports and sales within the country, as per China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) data. The August sales numbers mark a significant growth of 17% compared to July and 3% year-on-year. However, the company's biggest rival and Chinese EV giant BYD Co sold 148,470 battery electric passenger vehicles last month and 222,384 plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles.
爲什麼重要：根據中國乘用車協會（CPCA）的數據，特斯拉在8月份銷售了86,697輛中國製造的電動汽車，包括出口和國內銷售。8月份的銷售數字較7月份增長了17％，同比增長了3％。然而，該公司最大的競爭對手和中國電動汽車巨頭比亞迪股份有限公司上個月銷售了148,470輛純電動乘用車和222,384輛插電式混動乘用車。
Tesla makes both the Model 3 sedan and the Model Y SUV at its gigafactory in Shanghai. The vehicles made at the factory are sold within China as well as exported to foreign markets including Europe. In the January-August period, Tesla China sold 587,437 vehicles, down 6.01% year-on-year.
特斯拉在上海的超級工廠生產了Model 3轎車和Model Y SUV。工廠生產的車輛在中國國內銷售，也出口到包括歐洲在內的海外市場。在1月至8月期間，特斯拉中國銷售了587,437輛車，同比下降6.01％。
Concerns of Tesla losing against competition in China are rising from the company's dwindling sales numbers, coupled with its aging lineup in a market that is witnessing newer, lower-cost models being launched at a rapid pace. However, the company is reportedly planning to produce a six-seat version of its Model Y SUV starting next year in China.
特斯拉在中國市場面臨競爭壓力加大，銷售額下降，而且其老化車型與市場上推出的新款低成本車型相比，差距明顯。然而，據報道，該公司計劃從明年開始在中國生產一款六座版的Model Y SUV。
Tesla dismissed the impact of intense competition in China in its second-quarter earnings report in July and said, "While the automotive market in China remains among the most competitive globally, we feel that our cost structure and focus on core functionality that drives value for customers – including autonomy – position us well for the long-term."
特斯拉在7月份的季度業績報告中對中國市場的激烈競爭表示不擔心，並表示：「儘管中國汽車市場仍然是全球最具競爭力的市場之一，但我們認爲我們的成本結構和關注爲客戶提供價值的核心功能（包括自動駕駛）使我們能夠在長期內取得成功。」
