Sales of cars, SUVs and other vehicles jumped hit 1.64 million in May, a 1.9% uptick from a year earlier and the first increase since Jun 2019, the CPCA said.
Tesla's stock price jumped as much as 5.4% to a new all-time high in trading Monday following the data's release. "Strong Model 3 demand out of China remains a ray of light for Tesla in a dark global macro and appears to be on a run rate to hit 100k unit deliveries in the first year out of the gates for Giga 3 which is driving some strength for Tesla as well as Model Y deliveries starting to ramp as well," Dan Ives, an analyst at Wedbush, said in a note to clients.
