Tesla sales in China are so bad that it’s on course to fall behind Xiaomi in 2026

Tesla's horrible year in China continues. Data for mainland China insurance registrations from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), shows that Tesla China is DOWN 15% compared to previous year:

* YTD 2026 = 138,754 vehicles

* Jan-Apr 2025 = 163,338

That's a big drop considering most local rivals are growing rapidly, and the overall EV market is growing quickly too.

At this rate of decline, Tesla China sales will be down nearly 100,000 by the end of the year, to an estimated 530,000. (2025’s tally was 625,698).

Xiaomi aims to deliver 550,000 EVs in 2026, so Tesla will likely fall behind newcomer Xiaomi.

(NOTE: many people get confused about “wholesale” Tesla China numbers - that’s a different and entirely meaningless figure that shows Tesla Shanghai factory output and includes exports. The number that we should look at is “Tesla China retail sales,” which counts only mainland China insurance registrations on new vehicles.)

very disappointed to see a number of left-wing people on Bluesky who i used to think were smart suddenly start talking tin-foil hat BS in the immediate aftermath of what happened at the WHCD over the weekend.

if you're spreading zero-evidence lies just like the MAGA mob, then you're being every bit as dumb as the MAGA mob. yes, we all know that he's a serial liar, but that doesn't mean that the thing you just pulled out of your ass is accurate.
