Tesla Shanghai Production Hits New Record Despite Coronavirus Slowdown

Tesla continues to defy the odds, even in these difficult times

And the beat goes on. According to the website Tesmanian, Tesla Shanghai delivered 9,367 Model 3’s in Q1 2020. While that might not sound too impressive compared to Model 3 sales in the US market, consider that in every month of Q1, the Model 3 was the top-selling electric vehicle in China.

In January Tesla delivered 3,183 Model 3s in China. That dropped to 2,284 in February as China was fully embroiled in the Coronavirus shutdown and lockdown at the time. The situation there had reportedly gotten better and in March, as businesses began to open again, Tesla deliveries shot up to 3,900, more than double that of the next best-selling EV in China.
