Tesla's sales of its China-made electric vehicles edged up 0.8% in June from a year earlier, snapping an eight-month losing streak, but they continued to fall on a quarterly basis in the face of lower-cost new models from its Chinese rivals.

Chinese EV maker Leapmotor and two ventures--Dongfegn Nissan and GAC Toyota broke their record of NEV wholesale sales in June, and Great Wall Motor, Nio, FAW Bestune, FAW Hongqi and Changan Mazda achieved their second-highest monthly sales on record, according to the CPCA.

Tesla Inc. saw its first increase in vehicle deliveries from its Shanghai factory this year, with the US automaker potentially buoyed by the clearance of regulatory hurdles for its advanced driver-assistance features.
