The company sold around 31,000 vehicles to customers in China in the second quarter, according to retail data released by the China Passenger Car Association, equivalent to more than one-third of its 90,000 global deliveries – helped by the launch of commercial production at its newly built plant in Shanghai at the end of 2019.
In the first six months of 2020, Tesla reported revenues of US$2.3bn in China, accounting for just over 19% of the company's US$12.02bn global sales.
Output in the US was held back by the COVID-19 epidemic, which forced the closure of its Fremont factory in California for nearly six weeks.
