Two models of the Model Y have entered a filing catalog with radar, different style wheels, and front fog lights as options.

Tesla launched the updated Model Y in China on October 1, with minor configuration updates and unchanged pricing. Deliveries of the new Model 3 have yet to begin.

In the January-September period, BYD took first place with a 36.3 percent share, Tesla was second with 8.4 percent and Nio was ninth with 2.1 percent.

The Model 3 contributed 4.78 percent to Tesla's sales in China in September, a new low since October 2021, likely because Chinese customers are waiting for the new Model 3.

During the third quarter, Tesla delivered 139,624 vehicles in China, accounting for 32.1 percent of its global deliveries of 435,059 vehicles.

During the third quarter, Tesla sold 222,517 China-made vehicles, contributing 51.15 percent of its global deliveries.

Tesla delivered 435,059 vehicles globally in the third quarter, down 6.67 percent from the second quarter. The decline was due to planned downtimes for factory upgrades, Tesla said.

The base Model Y sees improved range and acceleration, while the Model Y Long Rang sees improved range.

Tesla will sell cars in Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com's online mall to boost sales, according to local media.

Model Y production at Giga Shanghai is using one-piece die casting for the rear structure, allowing the component to cost up to 40 percent less.
