Data to watch:

1. Sales bottomed out and Tesla Model 3 is expected to return to its peak

Affected by the epidemic, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory has been suspended for three weeks since the end of March this year, which has had a greater impact on the delivery of new cars.From the trend of sales complaints in the past year, it can be seen that before April 2022, the average monthly sales of Tesla Model 3 remained stable at more than 20,000 units, and the market trend was quite strong.In April, sales fell directly to the bottom, with monthly sales of less than 1,000 vehicles.However, with the resumption of production on April 19, Tesla's deliveries gradually recovered, and the sales of Tesla Model 3 rebounded rapidly in May. Although there is still some distance from the previous 20,000 vehicles, it is worth getting out of the trough so quickly. like.Judging from its monthly complaint performance in the past year, the number of complaints has always remained in single digits. With the increase in market ownership, the increase in the number of complaints is not obvious, and the short-term quality reputation is worthy of recognition.As theproduction capacityof the Tesla Gigafactory continues to recover, the market performance of the Tesla Model 3 will also continue to rise, and a return to its peak is just around the corner.

2. The Audi A4L market performance is expected to pick up

After experiencing the "three consecutive declines" in sales, the Audi A4L ushered in a long-lost rebound, with monthly sales of 13,848 units, surpassing the old rival Mercedes-Benz C-Class.From January to May this year, the cumulative sales volume of Audi A4L was 46,799 units, gradually narrowing the gap with Mercedes-Benz C-Class.Judging from its sales trend in the past year, the overall trend has been rising and falling, but the rebound in sales in May ended the trend of continuous decline.Compared with the sluggish sales volume, the monthly complaint performance of Audi A4L is remarkable. After entering 2022, the monthly complaint volume of Audi A4L has steadily decreased, and the word-of-mouth performance has improved significantly compared with the same period last year, and the trend of word-of-mouth is getting better day by day.It is reported that the Audi A4L will usher in a new model in the second half of this year.
