Tesla's deliveries in the third quarter unexpectedly fell 6.67 percent from the second quarter due to a planned shutdown for factory upgrades.

Nonetheless, the company said in October that its 2023 sales target of about 1.8 million vehicles remains unchanged.

In China, Tesla has a factory in Shanghai that produces the Model 3 and Model Y.

Tesla's Shanghai factory currently has an annual capacity of more than 950,000 vehicles, its largest in the world, according to the company's third-quarter financial report released in October.

Tesla doesn't release its deliveries in China, though the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) publishes those numbers every month.

Tesla delivered 28,626 vehicles in China in October and 65,504 in November, according to the CPCA. December sales figures are expected to be available later this month.
