Tesla FUD: Demand In China Is Waning
The media likes to engage in a lot of FUD.
In this video I discuss how we keep hearing how the demand in China for Tesla is waning. There is a demand problem is what we are told.
Yet, in Q1, that was a record quarter for deliveries in China. At the same time, the Model Y was the best selling vehicle in Europe. So how is demand waning?

The demand does not even seem warning to me
Hahaha
I think there were cars that weren't selling as well in their quarterly reports. I wonder if that has a factor and the economy is kind of tough right now. So I don't think there is much money leftover to buy a Tesla which is on the higher end price for a car.
