Tesla Ends Sales Decline in China with Slight Growth in June
Tesla’s electric vehicle sales in China saw a slight year-over-year increase of 0.8% in June,
reaching 71,599 units, thus ending a streak of eight consecutive monthly declines.
According to data released on Wednesday by the China Passenger Car Association,
sales of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles produced at Tesla’s Shanghai factory rose by 16.1% compared to May.
These figures include both domestic sales and exports to European and other markets.
This limited improvement comes when Tesla faces fierce competition from Chinese automakers, most notably BYD,
which reported a larger annual sales increase of 11% in June, with total deliveries reaching 377,628 units globally.
Nvidia Tops Global Companies by Market Value at the End of June
In June, Nvidia reclaimed its position as the most valuable company in the world by market capitalization,
supported by growing expectations of strong demand for its chips and its leading role in the AI sector.
According to Reuters, the American chip giant ended the month with a market value of $3.86 trillion,
surpassing Microsoft, which stood at $3.69 trillion.
Despite this achievement, Nvidia has yet to surpass Apple’s historical record from December 2024, which was $3.92 trillion.
Meanwhile, Apple’s market value dropped to $3.1 trillion by the end of June, ranking third globally.
Other major tech firms also saw notable gains: Meta Platforms: $1.86 trillion, Broadcom: $1.3 trillion, Amazon: $2.33 trillion.
