In third place was SAIC GM Wuling, which sold 48935 vehicles in October, up 11.9 per cent from a year earlier.

However, extending the time to the previous October, SAIC GM Wuling fell 8.8 per cent to 336379 vehicles compared with the same period a year earlier.

It should be noted that although Tesla's ranking in China fell for two months in a row, Tesla raised the price of some of his models against the trend.

Industry insiders believe that: "Tesla raised prices or because he is currently under great profit pressure, eager to restore gross profit margin." At the same time, some sources said that the reason for Tesla's price increase is that supply exceeds demand. Although the actual annual production capacity of the Shanghai factory has expanded from 750000 vehicles / year in the second quarter to more than 950000 vehicles / year in the third quarter, with the launch of the new version of Model 3 and the evolutionary version of Model Y, Tesla's demand is also rising.
