according to fast technology on september 8, today, an organization released news saying thatchinese consumers are shunning tesla as the market becomes saturated with more advanced electric models from rivals.

in addition, tesla's share of the chinese electric vehicle market has dropped from 9% a year ago to 6.5% in july this year; tesla has never released a new electric vehicle in china since 2019.

in response, tesla ceo musk responded to this message:calling it stupid, he stressed that tesla's shanghai factory is running at maximum capacity.

however, it is worth noting that although domestic consumers have not deliberately ignored tesla, it is an indisputable fact that tesla's sales in china have declined this year.

according to the data from the china passenger car association,in the first half of this year, tesla's sales in china were 426,000 vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 10.47%.

in terms of specific models, although model y has been the sales champion in the domestic passenger car market for five consecutive months, the sales of model 3 have dropped below 20,000 units, no longer having the glory of easily breaking 30,000 or 40,000 monthly sales.

the reason for this is related to the extremely fierce competition in the domestic electric vehicle market. at present, in the high-end suv electric vehicle market where tesla model y is located, models such as ideal, nio, and wenjie are all direct or indirect competitors.

tesla has not released a new car for many years, and when competing with these brands, it has more or less some shortcomings in terms of product strength.
