As Tesla stock fell 3.88% on Tuesday, the electric automaker was losing investor interest. On Wednesday as trading opened, the company’s stock jumped 2.22% to $323 per share.

Tesla sales are improving for the Chinese market.

Tesla has had a tumultuous year, with its CEO Elon Musk stepping away from the company to run the government department DOGE. Now that he is back, investors expected that he would be able to turn the company around. The company’s stock is still fluctuating wildly between highs and lows and is currently well below where it started June at.

China Q2 Looking Good

One factor helping Tesla this morning is the sales report for its Chinese division for the second quarter. From June 9^th to 15^th, the company saw a significant increase in the number of vehicle registrations in China. For that week, there were 15,500 registrations, which was a dramatic improvement from the week before, which recorded only 8,640 new insurance registrations.

This means a lot to the company, since it is the largest number of registrations for them in 10 weeks. As Tesla sales have been dropping around the world, with this year being one of their worst in a while, the company needs a win like this. This most recent week marks a 32% increase in vehicle registrations year over year for the Chinese market.

New Feature for Tesla Model Y

The Model Y that Tesla updated in January has a new addition to it. This version of the Model Y contains a front facing camera that is designed to help the car make better smart decisions and to operate autonomously in a more efficient manner.

This replaces the sensor that was in the same location and does a better job of providing real time data and allowing the car to respond faster. Musk said that with this upgrade, the cars are getting closer to having pure vision, or very human-like vision. He said there is “No question in my mind that with a pure vision solution, we can make a car that is dramatically safer than the average person.”
