WSJ has committed to 11,671 Chinese sales in April.
SHANGHAI— Tesla Inc. exported most of the cars produced at its Shanghai factory in April, raising questions about the strength of demand for its electric vehicles in China after a run of adverse publicity.
The EV maker sold 11,671 locally built Model 3 and Model Y cars in China last month, while exporting a further 14,174, according to the China Passenger Car Association. The association confirmed Wednesday that a wholesale figure of 25,845 published the day before combined local sales and exports. It was the first time it broke down the sales that way.

Tesla’s sales in mainland China hit a blip last month as the leader in the electric vehicle (EV) field ran foul of angry customers raising concerns about safety and quality.
The US carmaker delivered 25,845 Shanghai-made vehicles in April, 27.2 per cent less than the 35,478 units it sold a month earlier, according to the latest data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). The industry consortium did not break down the sales into the two different models Tesla offers.
“A decline of nearly 10,000 units in sales over just one month is a huge setback for a carmaker,” said Gao Shen, an independent analyst in Shanghai. “But Tesla will maintain its leading position in China’s premium electric vehicle segment for a long time because it has yet to see a powerful rival here.”
