Summary
85,982 vehicles left Tesla's Shanghai factory in May, up 39.4% from a year earlier and marking a sharp rebound in China-made deliveries.
1.36 million passenger EVs were sold across China in May, up 12% year on year and 11% from April, which the CPCA called an initial market recovery.
BYD delivered 376,990 new energy passenger vehicles, barely above a year earlier, while Zeekr and Leapmotor each grew more than 80%; Nio rose 62.3%, but Li Auto and XPeng declined.
Tesla's sales gain followed its May 21 statement that FSD (Supervised) was available in China, though broad consumer access remains unclear and 10 owners have sued over allegedly false claims.
