Group 2: Market Challenges - Tesla faces intense competition in the Chinese market, with numerous local manufacturers launching comparable products, and has not introduced new models specifically for China since the Model Y's release in 2020 [5]. - Sales data from the China Passenger Car Association indicates that Tesla's sales in China for the first seven months of the year reached 432,000 units, reflecting a year-on-year decline of 13.6%, with eight consecutive months of declining sales until a slight recovery in June [5]. - A significant new model, the Model Y L, is expected to be launched soon, which analysts view as a potential remedy for Tesla's declining sales in China. This model is a six-seat electric SUV with dimensions of 4976*1920*1668 mm and a wheelbase of 3040 mm, powered by ternary lithium batteries [5]. Group 3: Future Models - Tesla is also set to introduce a more affordable model, the "Model Q," anticipated to be priced around 150,000 yuan, which could disrupt the competitive landscape in that price segment currently dominated by BYD [5].
