Tesla's Shanghai factory, which produces the Model 3 and Model Y, has a pattern to produce cars for export in the first half of the quarter and for the local market in the second half, the company previously said.

On August 3, the CPCA released data showing that Tesla sold 64,285 China-made vehicles in July, including those exported as well as those delivered in China, the lowest of the year.

Including exports, Model 3 sales in July were 20,324 and Model Y sales were 43,961, according to the CPCA's data today.
