Tesla Inc. has registered its Cybertruck with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), signaling a potential entry into the Chinese market. This move follows Tesla's record sales in China for November, with over 73,000 vehicles sold, driven by strong demand for its Model Y, which has been the best-selling passenger vehicle in China over the past year. The Cybertruck's registration includes an energy consumption declaration, a necessary step for market entry. Tesla's expansion into China comes at a time when the country's auto market is experiencing significant growth, with vehicle production and sales for November rising by 11.1% and 11.7% year-on-year, respectively, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM).
