The Model Y sold 52,424 retail units in China in November, more than four times as many as the second-place BMW X3.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC came in second with 137,565 units sold from January to November and the Audi Q5 was third with 133,924 units. The Li Auto Li ONE came in 5th with 78,329 units and the Nio ES6 came in 10th with 40,281 units.

When all SUVs in the price range are taken into account, the Tesla Model Y was the second best-selling in China in November, below the BYD Song's 63,636 units.

Great Wall Motor's Haval H6 was third with 20,836 units sold in November, and the Zeekr 001 came in 13th with 11,011 units.

The BYD Song was also the best-selling of all SUVs from January to November, with 408,542 units sold. The Tesla Model Y came in second with 285,927 units and the Haval H6 was third with 234,157 units.

It is worth noting that despite the popularity of the Model Y in China, Tesla appears to be facing weak demand.

Earlier today, Reuters reported that Tesla will suspend Model Y assembly at its Shanghai plant from December 25 to January 1, as part of a planned production cut of about 30 percent of the model at the plant that month.

Tesla is aiming to produce slightly more than 20,000 Model Ys in the last three weeks of December, including the week when output is suspended, the report said, citing a memo.
