The Tesla Model Y may be fresh in China’s domestic auto market, and its own production at Giga Shanghai may nevertheless be in the first stages. Still, the all-electric crossover is currently making an impact in the nation ’s automobile segment. In February’s premium SUV market , the Model Y was able to rate as China’s fifth-best-selling automobile, closely tailing formidable opponents from Das Auto. 

According to recent sales statistics, Tesla was able to sell 4,630 units of the Made-in-China Model Y in February, rank it just under the Volkswagen Teramont, that offered 4,633 units. The top three premium SUVs in China each month would be the Mercedes-Benz GLC, that offered 8,557, the BMW X3, that offered 8,663, along with the Audi Q5, that offered 10,529 units in February.

The Model Y closed on its German SUV rivals in a 28-day month, which also happened to sponsor seven days of the Chinese New Year. As a result of this, Gigafactory Shanghai was able to function for only about 21 times in February. The fact that the Model Y became the most fifth-best-selling superior SUV despite these circumstances bodes well for its all-electric crossover. 

Tesla China President Tom Zhu specifically noted during a previous interview the Model Y ramp in Gigafactory Shanghai is after a speed that’s notably faster than that the already-impressive Model 3 last year. For instance, the Made-in-China Model 3 started consumer deliveries in early January 2020, and by the close of the year, the automobile was being exported to European territories.

If the Tesla executive’s quotes prove true, it would not be surprising when the Model Y ends up taking the top spot in China’s premium SUV market within the next few months. The Model Y is a New Energy Vehicle (NEV), following all, and China is rolling notable incentives for car buyers that embrace green vehicles instead of conventional, albeit luxury, gas-guzzlers. 

Also notable was that the vehicles from Giga Shanghai, the Model 3 and also the Model Y actually outsold GM’s HongGuang Wuling MINI EV by 5.8%. The Mini EV has shown exceptionally popular in China partially due to its cost, which is only a portion of the Model 3’s price. The Mini EV is a fairly basic car for the city, however, with little power, short range, without any airbags.
