Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has hailed the Cybertruck's build quality as the EV giant grapples with declining sales figures in multiple markets across the globe, which experts believe could have led to Musk&#8217;s longtime aide Omead Afshar&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132042/teslas-q2-sales-going-to-s-says-gary-black-after-tsla-north-america-and-europe-chief-omead-afshars-exit">exit from the company</a>.
What Happened: Quoting a video by the Tesla Cybertruck's official handle on X on Thursday, the billionaire hailed the EV pickup truck's build.
"Built bullet tough," the billionaire said in the post. The video showcased an unscathed Cybertruck getting hit with things like a shopping cart, a baseball, as well as a sledgehammer.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model Y.
What Happened: Xiaomi took to the Chinese social media platform Weibo to announce that it had received over 289,000 orders for its YU7 SUV on Thursday, after the company said it received over 200,000 orders in just 3 minutes.

The YU7 is available in three variants: Standard, Pro and Max. The SUV retails for around 253,500 RMB or approximately $35,000 for the standard variant. The range-topping Max variant comes in at around 329,900 RMB or over $46,000.

The base standard variant undercuts the Tesla Model Y, which was the best-selling SUV in China, by 10,000 RMB or $1,400. It offers a claimed range of 515 miles on a single charge. The Max variant offers AWD and a claimed range of 472 miles with NMC batteries.

Tesla Model Y-rival Xiaomi YU7 SUV Receives Nearly 300,000 Orders In 1 Hour In China

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has said that the Chinese EV giant's production has remained stable, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/06/46090074/byd-scales-back-production-amid-profit-concerns-rising-inventory-in-china">despite earlier reports</a> that it had scaled back on manufacturing activities amid China's fierce EV price war.
What Happened: Sources close to the company have reiterated that the production levels on the factory lines remain stable, CnEVPost reported <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/26/exclusive-byd-production-capacity-remains-stable/">on</a> Thursday.
Earlier, reports in the media suggested that the company had scaled back on production by reducing shifts at Chinese factories and delaying adding new production lines.
Inventory levels at various BYD dealers also remain stable and the company's market share in the Chinese auto market continues to rise, the report suggested, citing the earlier source.
Why It Matters: The report comes in as BYD recently overtook Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion">global EV sales</a>, according to data released by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).
BYD has also set its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44946809/byd-rejigs-european-strategy-amid-lack-of-market-knowledge-and-modest-dealer-network-report">eyes on Europe</a> as the brand has released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sal">Dolphin Surf EV</a> in the region for $26,000. The Dolphin Surf is the Euro-spec version of its best-selling Seagull EV in China.
However, back in China, authorities <a href="http://v">have raised concerns</a> about the aggressive pricing strategies adopted by brands in a bid to boost sales. Despite this, BYD released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV</a> in China for $15,000, almost half the price of a Tesla Model 3.

BYD Denies Production Cutbacks Amid EV Price War, Says Output Remains Stable: Report

Electric vehicle company BYD Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45564693/byd-outsells-elon-musks-tesla-amid-european-plans-shift-into-gear">has surpassed </a>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in Europe and the trend may continue with multiple new vehicle launches.
What Happened: In recent months, BYD has overtaken Tesla in unit sales in Europe, a move that could be two-fold, from new vehicle launches by BYD and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46087914/teslas-europe-sales-slide-for-5th-straight-month-elon-musk-led-ev-giants-market-share-shrinks-to-1-3">declining demand for Tesla.</a>
In terms of new vehicle launches, BYD may only be getting started, according to a report from <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/06/24/byd-flooding-europe-with-new-evs-faster-than-any-carmaker/">Electrek</a>.
BYD plans to release new vehicles faster than any other automotive company in Europe. This includes launching the Dolphin Surf EV that starts at less than $25,000 in the region, becoming one of the most affordable electric vehicles in the area.
BYD Special Advisor for Europe Alfredo Altavilla highlighted the Dolphin Surf being one of the company's missing pieces as it looks to compete with the cheapest EVs in the region.
"We have been launching six cars in less than a year," Altavilla said. "We are covering all of the most important segments of the European car market."
Not all of BYD's new vehicles are low-cost models, with some of the company's new launches are under the Denza Yangwang brand, which is BYD's luxury unit.
"I have zero problem in saying I don't think there has ever been such a product offensive done in Europe as the one BYD is doing," Altavilla added.
Altavilla said the team is getting together after the summer break and will have more reveals before the end of the year.

Why It's Important: BYD is outselling Tesla in Europe and in 2024 beat Tesla in global EV sales for the first time. As new models are released, that momentum could continue.
BYD will begin production on a new manufacturing plant in Hungary by the end of 2025, which will boost production in the region and allow for more customization.
"As we go forward into 2026, more and more of the BYD line-up will be specific to this region," Altavilla said.
BYD could more than double its sales in Europe this year to around 186,000, according to S&amp;P Global Mobility. In four more years, the sales could double again to 400,000 in Europe.
BYD Price Action: BYD stock (BYDDY) closed Wednesday down 2.28% at $98.56 versus a 52-week trading range of $52.50 to $120.30. BYD stock is up 48% year-to-date in 2025.

BYD Beats Tesla In Europe: Never Been 'Such A Product Offensive Done'

BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC BYDDF), the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) leader, has reportedly cut back on production at its Chinese facilities due to concerns over profitability, slowing sales, and rising inventory levels.
What Happened: BYD has reduced shifts at some of its Chinese factories and halted plans to install new production lines, Reuters reported. This move indicates a potential slowdown in BYD&#8217;s rapid sales growth, which had previously allowed it to surpass Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) as the world&#8217;s largest EV manufacturer.
As per the report, the company has canceled night shifts and decreased production at some factories by at least a third of their capacity. It has also put a hold on plans to set up new production lines. These measures have been implemented at a minimum of four factories, according to sources who requested anonymity.
Despite offering significant price reductions in China, BYD is still grappling with increasing inventory levels. This has led to a slowdown in the company&#8217;s sales growth, with production growth dropping to 13% and 0.2% year-on-year in April and May, respectively.

BYD, which sold 4.27 million cars last year, primarily in China, aims to achieve a nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion">30% increase </a>in sales to 5.5 million this year.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: BYD&#8217;s decision to slow down production comes after the company faced criticism for triggering a price war in the Chinese EV market after offloading with its aggressive discounts. This led to a significant drop in BYD&#8217;s stock, which fell over 5% on the Hong Kong exchange, following a 15% plunge, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">Benzinga</a> on June 2.
Despite these setbacks, BYD managed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion">overtake Tesla in global EV sales</a> for the first time in 2024, according to the International Council on Clean Transportation.&nbsp;
The recent production slowdown at BYD&#8217;s Chinese facilities may indicate a potential shift in the company&#8217;s momentum.&nbsp;

BYD Scales Back Production Amid Profit Concerns, Rising Inventory in China

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has experienced a fifth straight month of declining sales in Europe as EVs continue to gain footing in the region.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: The latest sales figures for the European region during May come in through data released by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, or ACEA, on Wednesday.
Elon Musk's EV giant sold 13,863 units in May, a 27.9% year-on-year decline from the 19,227 units it sold last year during the same period. Tesla's market share also shrank to 1.3% in May from 2.1% last year.
During the first 5 months of the year, Tesla sold 75,196 units compared to 119,482 units during the same period in 2024. The data represents a 37.1% decline for the automaker in Europe.
In contrast, Battery Electric Vehicles or BEVs posted gains in the region. "In the first five months of 2025, new battery-electric car sales reached 701,089 units, capturing 15.4% of the total EU market share," the ACEA report suggested.

Tesla's Europe Sales Slide For 5th Straight Month: Elon Musk-led EV Giant's Market Share Shrinks To 1.3%

Prominent Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analyst Gary Black has aimed at &#8220;Tesla bears,&#8221; particularly long-term bear Drew Dickson, for what he calls a fundamental misapplication of traditional automotive price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios to Elon Musk&#8216;s burgeoning electric vehicle business.
What Happened: Black argues that the approach of using the auto industry&#8217;s P/Es for Tesla overlooks the stark differences in growth trajectories between the rapidly expanding EV market and the declining internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle sector.
&#8220;The biggest mistake $TSLA bears make is slapping an auto industry P/E on TSLA's EV business,&#8221; said Black.
Black dissected Dickson&#8217;s latest report, which attempts to value Tesla&#8217;s automotive business by applying an average P/E of 6.5x to 7.7x, derived from traditional automakers like Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW), Mercedes-Benz Group AG, General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Renault SA, Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), Volkswagen, Honda Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>), Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), and SAIC Motor. Corp. Ltd.
Dickson&#8217;s analysis suggests that even at a generous 15x P/E for Tesla&#8217;s automotive business, its market capitalization would be around $100 billion, implying that the market already assigns a staggering $1 trillion valuation to Tesla&#8217;s non-automotive ventures such as FSD, robotaxis, Optimus, and energy business.
According to Black, Dickson&#8217;s analysis &#8220;ignores the fact that TSLA is 100% EVs which are growing at 25-30% per year while ICE vehicles are in a state of permanent decline,&#8221; Black posted.
&#8220;Of course there should be a huge difference in P/Es between EV manufacturers and ICE manufacturers given stark differences in growth prospects.&#8221;

Black, who is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45886571/gary-blacks-2021-tsla-stock-exit-dodged-a-30-drop-can-valuation-discipline-outsmart-teslas-2025-robotaxi-hype">not holding Tesla</a> in his current portfolio, did express some near-term concerns. He highlighted the asymmetrical risk/reward associated with the upcoming Austin robotaxi test, scheduled to begin on June 22nd.
He also voiced apprehension that the &#8220;more affordable vehicles&#8221; targeted for the third quarter might be lower-cost, which could cannibalize sales of more expensive trims.
Finally, Black anticipates that Tesla&#8217;s second quarter volumes are likely to disappoint, projecting approximately 380,000 deliveries against a Street consensus of 402,000. He attributes this potential shortfall to the ongoing EV price war in China, led by BYD (OTCPK: BYDDY).
Price Action: TSLA shares were 0.61% higher in premarket on Wednesday. The stock was down 16.61% year-to-date, but it has returned 71.09% over the year.
About 26 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a>, covering TSLA, have a consensus target price of $309.76 apiece, with a ‘hold' rating.
The targets range from $19.05 to $500, and the recent ratings by Piper Sandler, Morgan Stanley, and Baird imply an 18.59% upside for the stock.

Gary Black Calls Out Tesla Bears For 'Slapping' Auto Industry Valuation Technique On Elon Musk's EV Business: 'Stark Differences In Growth Prospects'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has edged past Elon Musk's EV giant in global sales for the first time, according to the International Council on Clean Transportation or ICCT.
What Happened: Chinese automakers are "building significant leads in the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) market," the ICCT said in a press release as part of its third annual Global Automaker Rating on Tuesday.
BYD exceeded Tesla for the first time in 2024 in BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) sales, the report says, while maintaining that both companies remain "leaders" in the ratings.
The report also says that the Chinese domestic market now accounts for over 11 million EVs sold annually, which is "more than half" of the total EV sales throughout the globe.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as BYD has been expanding its presence throughout multiple countries, with Europe currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45097773/satellite-images-put-tesla-rival-byds-hungarian-factory-capable-of-producing-200k-units-annually-in-the-spotlight">a key area</a> for the Chinese EV giant.
The company recently launched its best-selling model in Europe, the Seagull EV, which would be called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sales-slump">Dolphin Surf EV </a>in the region for $26,000. This comes in as the automaker <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44946809/byd-rejigs-european-strategy-amid-lack-of-market-knowledge-and-modest-dealer-network-report">overhauled its European strategy</a> after it failed to meet targets set when it entered the region.
On the other side of the coin, BYD has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">facing criticism</a> over its aggressive discounts amid China's ongoing EV price war. The company recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV</a> sedan in China, retailing for $15,000.

Elon Musk Has A New Problem: BYD Beats Tesla In Global EV Sales Amid Europe Expansion

China announced Tuesday that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) will attend its flagship China International Supply Chain Expo for the first time in July, marking a significant development as U.S.-China tech tensions reach new heights over semiconductor trade restrictions.
What Happened: Yu Jianlong, deputy director of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, called the participation of over 100 U.S. and European exhibitors a &#8220;vote of confidence&#8221; in China&#8217;s supply chain amid a &#8220;complex and volatile&#8221; global trade landscape, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3314715/nvidia-hands-china-symbolic-victory-attendance-beijing-expo?module=perpetual_scroll_0&amp;pgtype=article">reported</a> the South China Morning Post. 
The artificial intelligence chipmaker&#8217;s Beijing appearance comes despite escalating export controls that cost Nvidia $2.5 billion in first-quarter revenue. CEO Jensen Huang recently said that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45918580/nvidia-drops-china-from-guidance-after-2-5-billion-q1-revenue-hit-ceo-jensen-huang-says-hes-not-">company no longer includes China in revenue forecasts</a>, stating, &#8220;I&#8217;m not counting on it, but if it happens, then it will be a great bonus.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The timing highlights mounting pressure on China&#8217;s semiconductor independence. Chinese automakers, including BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), Geely Automobile Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GELYF#OTC">GELYF</a>), and Li Auto Inc.

This represents a dramatic shift from Beijing&#8217;s previous 25% domestic chip usage goal for this year. Major automakers currently rely heavily on Nvidia&#8217;s AI processors for autonomous driving and Qualcomm Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45966176/after-nvidia-pauses-china-outlook-top-chinese-automakers-race-to-ditch-foreign-chips-aim-for-100-domestic-supply-by-2027-report">smart cockpit solutions</a>.
Washington&#8217;s export controls have blocked Nvidia&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45309175/nvidia-modifies-h20-chip-for-china-after-us-restrictions-block-sales-aims-to-deliver-new-version-by-july-report">China-specific H20 AI chip shipments</a>, requiring special licenses. 
The restrictions aim to limit China&#8217;s access to advanced semiconductor technology critical for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45309175/nvidia-modifies-h20-chip-for-china-after-us-restrictions-block-sales-aims-to-deliver-new-version-by-july-report">AI development and military applications</a>.

Nvidia To Appear At China's Top Supply Chain Expo Despite Escalating US-China Chip War: Beijing Calls Participation 'A Vote Of Confidence'

Chinese automakers are accelerating plans to eliminate foreign semiconductors from their vehicles by 2027, with at least two brands preparing mass production of cars using 100% domestic chips by 2026.
What Happened: Major Chinese automakers, including SAIC Motor, BYD (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), Geely Automobile Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GELYF#OTC">GELYF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GELYY#OTC">GELYY</a>), Great Wall Motor Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GWLLY#OTC">GWLLY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GWLLF#OTC">GWLLF</a>), Li Auto (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) and Changan are developing models with entirely homemade semiconductors, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/China-s-automakers-aim-for-cars-with-100-domestic-chips-from-2026">reported</a> Nikkei Asia, citing sources. 
China&#8217;s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is shepherding the initiative, regularly requiring self-assessments of domestic chip adoption rates.
The push comes as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45918580/nvidia-drops-china-from-guidance-after-2-5-billion-q1-revenue-hit-ceo-jensen-huang-says-hes-not-">announced it will exclude China from future revenue</a> guidance after U.S. export controls cost the chipmaker $2.5 billion in first-quarter revenue.

Why It Matters: The 2027 target represents a dramatic acceleration from Beijing&#8217;s previous goal of 25% domestic chip usage this year. While not mandatory, the framework incentivizes companies to demonstrate progress toward technological self-reliance.
Chinese electric vehicle makers currently rely heavily on foreign chips, particularly Nvidia&#8217;s AI processors for autonomous driving and Qualcomm Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) solutions for smart cockpits. Progressive U.S. restrictions have raised concerns about component access.
GAC Group is collaborating with domestic contract manufacturers Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. and CanSemi Technology to review supply chains and verify local alternatives, according to the report.

After Nvidia Pauses China Outlook, Top Chinese Automakers Race To Ditch Foreign Chips, Aim For 100% Domestic Supply By 2027: Report

Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) debuted the new all-electric G7 SUV in China as the country's brutal EV price war shows no signs of relenting.
What Happened: The Chinese automaker received over 10,000 pre-orders for the G7 SUV in under 46 minutes, CnEVPost reported <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/12/xpeng-g7-10000-pre-orders-46-mins/">on</a> Thursday.
Xpeng says display models of the SUV are available across multiple outlets in China. The SUV would retail for around 235,810 Yuan or slightly under $33,000, pitting it squarely against Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) cheapest vehicle in China, the Model 3.

The SUV also features Xpeng's Turing AI chip, which is developed in-house by the automaker, marking a shift away from the previously utilized Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) autonomous driving chipsets.
Why It Matters: The G7 debuts in what is a cutthroat market as China's EV price war has put pressure on the country's supply chains, with several automakers, including EV giant BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) pledging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45878086/tesla-rivals-byd-xpeng-pledge-faster-supplier-payments-amid-ev-price-war-in-china-report">faster payments to suppliers</a>.
The EV price war was also called out by the Chinese Communist Party's newspaper, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">The People's Daily</a>, which equated it to a ‘rat race' and warned of negative effects on the country's supply chain, as well as product quality issues, among other things.
However, the aggressive pricing strategy continues as BYD recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV</a> sedan, which retails for $15,000, undercutting the Tesla Model 3 as well as the G7 SUV's price by almost half.

Xpeng Receives 10,000 Pre-Orders In Under An Hour For New Tesla Model 3 Rival: Report

Future Fund LLC's Managing Director, Gary Black, thinks Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45877591/elon-musk-says-he-regrets-war-of-words-with-trump-went-too-far">post expressing regret</a> over comments on U.S. President Donald Trump could help repair relations between the two.
What Happened: "TSLA now up +15% (vs NDX +2%) since last week's extraordinary falling out between Elon and President Trump," Black said in a post on social media platform X on Wednesday.
Calling Musk's post expressing regret about his comments on the president an apology, the investor noted that it "should formally repair the relationship, although we doubt the two will again become billionaire bros again," he said.
Black then said that the apology should "encourage Trump to not work against Elon" on both the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) credits, as well as putting in place Federal regulations on autonomous vehicles.
He then shared his thoughts on the apology's impact on Musk's Cybercab ambitions.&nbsp;
"Elon likely realized that Tesla needs help with new EV and autonomous regulations, especially with being able to mass produce the Cybercab," the investor said and outlined how the Cybercab isn't street-legal in the U.S. due to the vehicle not having any pedals or a steering wheel.
He concluded the post by drawing parallels between the stock performances of Tesla and rivals like Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>). &#8220;Year-to-date TSLA (-19%) still badly lags BYDDY (+60%), UBER (+43%),&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: The investor highlights how Musk's post expressing regret, as well as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45880572/tesla-stock-rally-continues-as-share-value-gains-amid-easing-tensions-between-trump-and-elon-musk">Tesla stock surging</a> close to its value before the falling out between Trump and the Tesla CEO, highlights the easing of tensions between the pair.
This is also important considering Tesla is gearing itself up for rolling out the Robotaxi to the public on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45876375/elon-musk-says-tesla-robotaxi-rides-begin-june-22-in-austin-full-self-driving-to-enable-home-delivery-by-june-28-were-being-super-paranoid">June 22 in Austin</a>. However, Musk has said that the date is still tentative.

Gary Black Says Musk's Apology Should 'Repair' Relations With Trump, Weighs In On Cybercab Production: 'Elon Likely Realized That Tesla Needs Help'

NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) announced on Wednesday its commitment to support supply chain stability by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">accelerating payments to its suppliers</a>.
The healthy development of the supply chain system is the foundation for ensuring product quality and enhancing user experience, NIO said in a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.
&#8220;We will continue to implement payment terms within 60 days, and work with upstream and downstream partners to jointly promote the high-quality development of China&#8217;s automobile industry and create a sustainable and better future,&#8221; the post read.

The automaker said its priority remains delivering a premium user experience while embracing technological leadership and operational transparency.
The Chinese EV firm, alongside Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>), announced that it would honor invoice payments within 60 days or less, a step aligned with efforts by regulators to stabilize the country&#8217;s automotive ecosystem, CnEV Post <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/11/nio-xpeng-li-auto-pledging-pay-suppliers-60-days/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
This move mirrors commitments made earlier by several prominent players in the Chinese auto market.
Companies such as BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), Geely Auto, Xiaomi EV, Leapmotor, and Chery have already pledged to adopt more transparent and timely payment practices, the report adds.
So far, nearly 15 automakers have publicly joined the initiative.
Mounting concerns over extended payment cycles to suppliers have drawn criticism in recent years, especially amid intensified pricing battles across China&#8217;s EV sector.
Delayed payments have posed risks to smaller component makers, potentially straining supply chain security and sustainability.
Recently, NIO reported first-quarter revenue of $1.37 billion, representing a decrease of 7.2% year-over-year and missing the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45818020/nio-stock-volatile-after-mixed-q1-earnings-cost-cuts-and-global-expansion-in-focus" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $1.48 billion.</a>
The company&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45775689/tesla-rival-nio-says-it-will-cut-rd-spending-by-around-25-to-meet-breakeven-target-amid-europe-expansion-plans" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced</a> a quarterly adjusted loss of 36 cents per share, which was wider than the analyst consensus estimate for a loss of 31 cents per share.
Vehicle deliveries for the quarter totaled 30,053, a decrease of 3.2% year-over-year. The company&#8217;s vehicle margin was 9.2%, while the overall gross margin came in at 4.9%.
Looking ahead, NIO expects to deliver between 54,000 and 56,000 vehicles in the second quarter. The company issued second-quarter revenue guidance of between $2.29 billion and $2.36 billion.
Price Action: NIO shares are trading lower by 0.52% to $3.79 at last check Wednesday.

Chinese Automakers Unite, NIO Becomes Latest To Promise Faster Payments

As Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) gears up for its much-hyped Robotaxi service launch, investors are revisiting the disciplined valuation strategy of Gary Black, who sidestepped a 30% downturn by exiting TSLA in 2021.
What Happened: With Tesla's stock trading at a staggering price, which is 166.67 times higher than its 2026 earnings, questions arise: can Black's approach outmaneuver the speculative frenzy surrounding the Robotaxi rollout?
The EV maker&#8217;s forward price-earnings ratio is 6.47 times more expensive than its industry&#8217;s average of 25.75.
The managing partner at Future Fund LLC, Black, underscored his strategy of selling when TSLA exceeds his valuation target, which demonstrated its efficacy in 2021. By offloading shares at a peak, he avoided a significant drawdown, a move that paid off as he rebought at a lower price.
&#8220;Valuation discipline is when one sells a stock that has reached one's price target. It's not day-trading,&#8221; he said in his X post.

This is relevant today as the stock trades at skyrocketing valuations despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track">weak first-quarter earnings</a> and a decline last week following President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807968/trump-signals-truce-with-elon-musk-after-online-feud-its-going-very-well-never-done-better">social media spat</a> with Elon Musk. 
Apart from this, the investor optimism around the Robotaxi service launch in Austin, Texas, was also delayed as Musk changed it to June 22, &#8220;tentatively.&#8221;

Targeting this delay, Gordon Johnson of GLJ Research said that it will be valuable for Tesla shareholders for Musk to delay &#8220;the actual FSD launch indefinitely so as Wall Street can continue to put a ridiculous valuation on a biz that does not exist.&#8221;

Why It Matters: TSLA shares were 1.69% higher in premarket on Wednesday and rose 5.67% to $326.09 per share on Monday. The stock was down 14.02% year-to-date, but it has returned 91.08% over the year.
As Black bats for selling the stock at its target price, about 26 analysts covering TSLA, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a>, have a consensus target price of $306 apiece, with a &#8216;hold&#8217; rating. 
The targets range from $19.05 to $500, and the recent ratings by Morgan Stanley, Baird and Goldman Sachs imply a 1.51% upside for the stock.

Gary Black's 2021 TSLA Stock Exit Dodged A 30% Drop: Can Valuation Discipline Outsmart Tesla's 2025 Robotaxi Hype

Several Chinese automakers, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rivals BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) and Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), have pledged to settle supplier dues within 60 days.
What Happened: Authorities in China brought in regulations in March, requiring companies to settle payments with suppliers within 60 days, which kicked into effect on June 1, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The report suggests that China's Iron and Steel Association released a statement outlining that the price war has put tremendous pressure on the sector as payments remain unsettled for months and manufacturers ask for price cuts up to 10%.
The association also called upon the manufacturers to take inspiration from Japanese auto manufacturers who "leave a certain amount of profit for suppliers and ensure product quality and innovation," the report said.
Why It Matters: The news comes as several mainstream Chinese automakers compete in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42761825/ev-price-war-heats-up-as-chinese-automakers-extend-subsidies">EV price war</a>, which has engulfed the Chinese domestic car market for a while.
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) newspaper, The People's Daily, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">voiced concerns</a> about the ongoing "rat race" among car makers in the country while pointing out that the aggressive pricing could hurt supply chains.
The comments from the CCP come in as a BYD dealer in China's Shandong province <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45666513/a-major-byd-dealer-in-china-shut-down-its-operations-as-ev-giant-expands-into-europe-report">closed down 20 outlets</a>, citing changes to the automaker's dealership rules. The company has closed down dealerships across 4 cities.
Despite this, the EV price war shows no sign of relenting as BYD recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV Sedan</a>, available for $15,000. The sedan undercuts rival Tesla's cheapest offering in China, the Model 3, by almost half.

Tesla Rivals BYD, Xpeng Pledge Faster Supplier Payments Amid EV Price War In China: Report

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has launched a $15,000 EV as the electric vehicle price war heats up in the Chinese domestic market.
What Happened: Available in two trim levels, the Seal 06 EV offers a range of 292 miles with the 46 kWh battery pack, while the long-range variant is good for 339 miles on a single charge with a 56 kWh battery pack, the brand revealed on Saturday.
The base trim retails for 109,000 Yuan or just over $15,000 while the top-spec variant comes in at around 129,000 Yuan or almost $18,000.
Interestingly, the base Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model 3 costs almost double the price of the Seal 06 EV at 235,500 Yuan.
The vehicle comes equipped with BYD's God's Eye ADAS system. However, it utilizes a camera-based system rather than LiDAR, like some of the pricier models in the BYD lineup.
Why It Matters: BYD has been at the forefront of the Chinese EV price war, which has recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">come under scrutiny</a> from the authorities. Without naming any brands, recently, the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) newspaper, The People&#8217;s Daily, slammed the &#8220;rat race&#8221; in the domestic EV sector.
The brand also introduced its best-selling Seagull hatchback EV in the European market, dubbed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sal">Dolphin Surf EV</a>, for $26,000 as the company overtook Tesla for the first time in regional sales.
BYD is also establishing its presence in Europe with local manufacturing capabilities as the Chinese EV giant's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45097773/satellite-images-put-tesla-rival-byds-hungarian-factory-capable-of-producing-200k-units-annually-in-the-spotlight">Hungarian plant </a>is under construction. The plant can produce over 200,000 EVs annually.
However, as BYD continues its growth, a major dealer for the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45666513/a-major-byd-dealer-in-china-shut-down-its-operations-as-ev-giant-expands-into-europe-report">closed down over 20 dealerships</a> in China&#8217;s Shandong province, citing changes to the automaker&#8217;s dealer policy. The shutdowns have affected over 1,000 customers with warranty and after-sales service woes.

Tesla Rival BYD Launches $15,000 Seal 06 Sedan As China's EV Price War Heats Up

In what could prove to be a relief for Elon Musk's EV giant Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/05/45616006/teslas-european-woes-see-no-end-april-sales-crash-49-as-rivals-race-ahead-in-ev-market">global sales woes</a>, the Model Y has emerged as the best-selling SUV in China during May.
What Happened: Tesla sold over 24,770 Model Ys in May, according to new insurance registration data obtained by Car News China <a href="https://carnewschina.com/2025/06/09/tesla-model-y-reclaims-the-best-selling-suv-crown-in-china-for-may/">on</a> Monday.
The report also outlines that Tesla is closely followed by rival BYD Co. Ltd.'s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) Song Plus EV, which sold over 24,240 units in May.
Why It Matters: Tesla has experienced growth in the Chinese domestic market, which has been a silver lining for the company amid declining sales figures. Tesla sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/45834491/tesla-china-sales-surge-in-may-as-new-model-y-juniper-exported-for-the-first-time-amid-us-china-trade-war">grew over 34% in May</a> as the company exported the new Model Y for the first time.
This comes as the company recorded over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45787316/elon-musks-tesla-records-over-13000-new-registrations-in-china-highest-weekly-total-this-quarter">13,000 new registrations</a>, which was preceded by two consecutive weeks of recording over 11,000 new insured registrations in China during May.
However, the sales woes continue to grow in other regions as the company hit record lows in multiple regions in Europe, as Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/06/45736798/tesla-sales-hit-3-year-low-in-this-european-nation-despite-musks-claims-of-no-demand-problem">delivered 721 units in France</a> during May, a 67% YoY decline for the company.

Tesla's Model Y Tops China SUV Sales Chart In May With Over 24,700 Cars Sold

Thursday&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/06/45804512/trump-musk-feud-gets-ugly-etfs-exposed-with-tesla-caught-in-the-crossfire">dramatic fight</a> between President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, his political ally and donor, sent Tesla stock down more than 14%.
This is just the latest episode in a long string of bad news for Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
The stock, which was trading at around $300 per share on Friday, is down 25% for the year but has gained 11% over the past three months. Poor domestic and international sales, as epitomized by Tesla&#8217;s market share in car-mad Germany being down 36% year-to-year, concerns over robot taxi safety after media reports of a fatal car crash involving Tesla's driver-assistance software and Musk's political forays have stacked the deck against the stock.
With Tesla&#8217;s future looking increasingly uncertain, investors looking to benefit from the rise of electric cars are starting to look elsewhere.
Even as EV sales grow, totaling 20% of new car sales in 2024 globally, the maladies holding EVs back are no secret. In 2025, subsidy schemes are winding down across the globe, tariff fears are fueling price hikes that challenge cash-challenged consumers, charging stations remain spotty, and lower oil prices have combined to throttle electric vehicle (EV) adoption.
Tesla&#8217;s woes are just one example of this trend.
It's been a bumpy ride for electric vehicle stocks near the midpoint of 2025, with the KraneShares Electric Vehicles Future Mobility Index benchmark ETF up 2.0% in 2025. The fund, which tracks the Bloomberg Electric Vehicle Index, has been a portfolio drainer for a while now—down over 15% over the past three years.
One saving grace of late is China, where low battery prices, attractive trade-in deals, and a supportive government have helped EV sales rise by 40% in 2024 on a year-to-year basis. By the end of 2024, China accounted for two-thirds of all worldwide EV sales – that's up from half of all sales in 2021, according to the<a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2025/trends-in-electric-car-markets-2"> International Energy Agency's Global EV Outlook for 2025</a>.
"The EV market will continue to depend upon a mix of subsidies, incentives, and favorable trade policies," said David Nicholson, chief technology advisor at The Futurum Group in San Francisco, Cal. "Against this backdrop, Chinese EV manufacturers will face varying levels of protectionism. That will be the dominant theme moving forward. &#8220;How much will the rest of the world allow China to access its EV consumers?&#8221;
With EV long-term prospects on more solid footing against 2025 share price woes, which electric vehicle stocks resonate in 2025? Here's a snapshot.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street's Elite Are Betting Big on These Stocks</h2>

Unlock All Wall Street Stock Ratings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/">HERE</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla Inc.</h2>
Many of Tesla's current problems are short-term, with tariffs and political skirmishes involving Musk having only so much staying power. That doesn't mean Tesla is in a good spot, particularly with the proposed "Big Beautiful Bill" recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, which is looking to clear the Senate in June and appears to have set off the Musk-Trump feud. Among other features, the legislation curbs or, in some cases, outright eliminates EV and green energy tax credits introduced in 2022's Inflation Reduction Act. 
That's not good news for EV giants like Tesla, which count on credits to move vehicles. According to J.P. Morgan analyst Ryan Brinkman, if the tax act is passed with the EV credits neutered, Tesla could cost $2 billion. Brinkman has a sell call on TSLA, with a steep 65% slide in Tesla stock in play the following year.
However, if you have full confidence in Tesla's ability to bring new transport technologies like robot taxis to the market, then Tesla makes sense.
"Tesla&#8217;s value is based more upon future expectations of their ability to deliver in AI and Robotics than it is based on a realistic assessment to grow market share in vehicle sales," Nicholson said. "If you believe in the robotics story in particular, you buy or hold Tesla stock."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BYD Co. Ltd.&nbsp;</h2>
BYD (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), China's leading EV manufacturer, is conducting a cost-cutting campaign amid a slowing Chinese economy, expanded in-country electric vehicle competition, and collapsing EV sales in Europe. These factors are weighing heavily on China's auto manufacturing sector.
Yet BYD continues to dodge the deluge. The stock is up 53.18% year-to-date and up 6% over the past month, as the Shenzhen-based automaker has cut prices on 22 EV and hybrid vehicle models and will continue to do so through the end of June. Speculation is rising that BYD will continue to keep its EV price tags lower as it eventually edges into the US market, which would constitute a big problem for Tesla and major US automakers.
Analysts are backing the stock, with Macquarie holding its Buy Rating on BYD, according to a late May research note, and Erste Group initiating coverage with a Buy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rivian Automotive Inc.</h2>
Rivian (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) has been picking up steam lately, with its stock price up 23% over the past three months, and it has an intriguing story to tell. The EV manufacturer is aiming for the SUV and truck-driving consumer, which can be a tough sell in a downbeat economy. The numbers back that sentiment up, with deliveries down from 51,000 in 2024 to an estimated range of 40,000 to 46,000 in 2025, as high prices keep would-be buyers on the sidelines.
Yet RIVN is making strides in other areas. The company has a big delivery van deal with Amazon and has partnered with Volkswagen in a $5.8 billion software and services deal that helped RIVN net $167 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Revenues were up 3% for the first quarter of 2025 and the company has recorded two straight quarters of gross profit and production on its lower-cost R2 EV model (costs clocked in at $45,000 compared to $76,000 for Rivian's R1 line).
Rivian investors may have to show patience for a company focused on the long haul, but analysts see a big upside. Exhibit A is Exane BNB Paribas' James Picariello, who recently issued a Buy rating on the stock with a $20 price target, up above 40% from where the stock is trading as of writing.

SAIC, Tesla And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Monday's Pre-Market Session

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) experienced a decline in sales in China compared to rivals like Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) and BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), which posted strong growth in May.
What Happened: Li Auto experienced 17% growth in deliveries with 40,856 vehicles delivered in May, while Nio and Xpeng posted over 33,525 and 23,321 deliveries each, a report from Barron's <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/chinese-ev-makers-tesla-sales-4da484e4">on</a> Sunday revealed.
Meanwhile, Chinese giant BYD's BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) sales grew 40% year-on-year, as the company delivered 204,369 EVs in May.
However, Elon Musk's EV giant recorded around 58,000 April sales in China, including exports, and the company's sales performance in the first eight weeks of Q2 2025 declined 23% YoY, as per the report.
Why It Matters: The report comes in as Tesla has experienced a growth in May as the company posted more than 11,000 registrations in China for two consecutive weeks, despite a poor start to the month with a little over 3,000 new registrations.

BYD, on the other hand, continues to expand its presence in the global market while it<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern"> faces scrutiny from Beijing</a> over the company's aggressive discount strategy that has started a price war in the Chinese domestic EV market.
Elsewhere, Li Auto recently beat analyst expectations following the company's Q1 earnings call, where CEO Li Xiang announced the company's plans to release <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/05/45691082/tesla-rival-li-auto-will-release-2-new-suvs-this-year-ceo-li-xiang-hints-at-companys-first-sedan">2 new fully-electric SUVs</a> this year.
