Chinese new year shut down the Tesla factory in China for one week. Gigafactory Shanghai was only in operation for 21 days.
Tesla sold 15,484 Model 3 in China in January, 2021.
Car sales are usually weakest in the first quarter of the year.
[NOTE]
CLS and several other Chinese agencies reported 15,484 as MIC M3 sales.
However, CPCA in its report cited 15,484 as Tesla China sales, it did not specify models. https://t.co/fMPmeW9SRn— Moneyball (@DKurac) February 8, 2021
