Tesla's (TSLA.US) wholesale sales in China plummet to a new low in over a year in February. Affected by sluggish sales during the Spring Festival holiday and intensifying price wars in the electric vehicle market, Tesla's wholesale sales in China in February dropped to the lowest level in over a year. Preliminary data released by the China Passenger Car Association on Monday showed that Tesla's wholesale sales in China in February were 60,365 vehicles, the lowest since December 2022, with a month-on-month decline of almost 16% and a year-on-year decline of 19%. The association predicts that wholesale sales of new energy passenger cars in China will reach 11 million vehicles in 2024, a 22% year-on-year increase. Although still growing, the growth rate is lower than 36% in 2023 and 96% in 2022. At the same time, the association estimates that in February, wholesale sales of passenger cars by Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation were 450,000 vehicles, a 9% year-on-year decrease and a 34% month-on-month decrease. The association stated that price reduction measures by major car manufacturers may suppress consumer desire to purchase, as consumers expect further price drops.
