10月2日晚上特斯拉交出三季度成绩单:交付48.65万辆,比分析师预期多了两万多辆。我的第一反应没有落在“回暖”这两个字上——撑住这个数字的主力是上海超级工厂。前8个月它出口33.14万辆、同比翻了一倍多;同一时期特斯拉在美国的销量少了三成,中国国内零售连续三个月同比下滑。
On the evening of October 2 Tesla reported its third-quarter numbers: 486,500 vehicles delivered, more than 20,000 above what analysts expected. My first reaction did not land on the word “recovery.” What held that number up was Giga Shanghai: it exported 331,400 vehicles in the first eight months, more than double a year earlier, while Tesla’s U.S. sales fell by a third over the same stretch and its China retail sales slid year on year for three months running.
交付数本身没那么好看。486,532辆比去年同期少2.1%,去年三季度的497,099辆是历史纪录,因为美国买家赶在2025年9月30日7,500美元联邦补贴到期前抢了一波车;环比只多了1.3%。Model 3和Model Y两款车占98.3%,其他车型合计8,295辆。当季生产464,391辆,比交付少22,141辆——连续两个季度交付大于生产,库存在往外倒。
The headline delivery number itself is thinner than it looks. The 486,532 vehicles were 2.1% below the year-earlier 497,099, a record set when U.S. buyers rushed to claim the $7,500 federal credit before it expired on September 30, 2025; the sequential gain was just 1.3%. Model 3 and Model Y accounted for 98.3% of deliveries, with all other models at 8,295. Output was 464,391 — 22,141 fewer than deliveries, the second straight quarter of drawing inventory down.
美国这条线我最想让人看清。Cox Automotive估算,特斯拉三季度在美国卖了123,880辆、同比少31%,前三季度累计365,980辆、同比少18.9%。联邦补贴一停,需求就现了原形;车型更新慢、马斯克的政治立场,都是叠在上面的第二层原因。
The U.S. line is the one I most want people to see clearly. Cox Automotive estimates Tesla sold 123,880 vehicles there in the third quarter, down 31% year on year, and 365,980 over the first nine months, down 18.9%. Once the federal credit stopped, demand showed its true level; an ageing line-up and Musk’s politics sit on top of that.
中国这边的分工在变。乘联分会口径,8月上海工厂交付超8.6万辆、连续第10个月同比增长,其中3.61万辆直接出口、同比增38.71%,国内零售只有5.00万辆、同比降12.43%。1-8月摊开更清楚:上海工厂批发约64.77万辆、同比增25.6%,出口33.14万辆、同比增115%,出口已占批发量的51.17%,去年同期这个比例是29.94%。国内零售同期约31.63万辆、同比降12.4%,6月到8月连续三个月同比下滑,降幅13.9%、32.9%、12.4%。做海外渠道或货代的,把这组数存下来——下半年上海港的滚装船排期,比国内订单节奏更能说明这座工厂在忙什么。
The division of labour inside China is shifting. On CPCA figures, Giga Shanghai delivered more than 86,000 vehicles in August, its tenth straight month of year-on-year growth, and 36,100 of those went straight to export, up 38.71%; domestic retail was only 50,000, down 12.43%. The first eight months make it plainer: wholesale of about 647,700, up 25.6%, of which 331,400 were exports, up 115% — 51.17% of wholesale, against 29.94% a year earlier. Domestic retail was about 316,300, down 12.4%, falling year on year for three months running in June, July and August, by 13.9%, 32.9% and 12.4%. If you run overseas channels or freight, save these numbers: ro-ro schedules out of Shanghai this half will tell you more about what the plant is doing than domestic order flow does.
让价也没把国内的盘子拉回来。9月7日和9月25日,特斯拉中国不到三周两次推出限时优惠,Model 3全系尾款减5,000元,Model Y部分车型减7,000元。我倾向于把两次让利读成订单压力:产能吃紧的时候,没有人会主动降价。
Discounting has not pulled the domestic business back either. On September 7 and again on September 25, less than three weeks apart, Tesla China rolled out limited-time offers: 5,000 yuan off the balance on all Model 3s and 7,000 yuan on some Model Ys. I read the two rounds as order pressure: nobody cuts price when capacity is tight.

增量在欧洲。ACEA数据,8月特斯拉在欧盟注册12,547辆、同比增52.7%,前8个月累计142,165辆、同比增65.9%;欧盟加英国和EFTA口径,前8个月增43.3%,跑在当地纯电大盘38.8%的前面。9月法国、瑞典、西班牙注册量分别同比增61.9%、38.4%、24.8%。这些车大部分在上海造。
The growth is in Europe. ACEA data show 12,547 Tesla registrations in the EU in August, up 52.7%, and 142,165 over the first eight months, up 65.9%; across the EU plus the UK and EFTA, registrations rose 43.3% in the first eight months, ahead of the 38.8% for the local battery-electric market. In September, registrations in France, Sweden and Spain rose 61.9%, 38.4% and 24.8%. Most of those cars are built in Shanghai.
我的判断是,特斯拉在中国的角色已经从消费市场换成制造和出口基地,这条线现在绑得很紧。出口翻倍,意味着上海工厂的产能利用率靠海外订单兜着;欧盟的贸易工具或者出口许可节奏一变,这个兜底就松一道口子。10月1日商务部启动2027年度汽车和摩托车出口许可申报,这条通知做出口的都该点开看一遍。
My read: Tesla’s role in China has shifted from a market it sells into to a base that builds and exports, and that line is now tightly strung. Doubling exports means Giga Shanghai’s utilisation rests on overseas orders; move the EU’s trade tools or the export-licence schedule and the cushion loosens. On October 1 the Ministry of Commerce opened 2027 applications for vehicle and motorcycle export licences — anyone shipping cars out should read that notice.
我可能错在哪儿,也说清楚:欧洲这波有低基数的成分。去年特斯拉在欧洲被马斯克的政治立场拖累过,前8个月65.9%的增幅里有不小一块是把丢掉的位置补回来。分析师普遍预期2027年欧洲增速会放缓,中国品牌和欧洲本土新车型都会往里挤。要验证这条线,我盯一个数:上海工厂四季度出口占批发量的比例,还能不能守在50%以上。
Where I could be wrong, plainly: part of Europe’s jump is a low base. Tesla was dragged down in Europe last year by Musk’s politics, and a decent chunk of that 65.9% is simply winning back lost ground. Analysts broadly expect European growth to slow in 2027 as Chinese brands and new European models pile in. To test the thesis I will watch one number: whether Giga Shanghai’s exports stay above 50% of its wholesale volume in the fourth quarter.
留个问题给你:如果你的目标市场里,某个品牌的车一半以上是从第三国工厂运进来的,你把它算本地车企,还是算进口商?评论区说说你的判断。
One question for you: in your target market, if more than half of a brand’s cars arrive from a plant in a third country, do you count it as a local automaker or as an importer? Tell me in the comments.
