Tesla sales are all cash due upon delivery, so insurance must be arranged and finalized before the customer can take possession of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CATARC is regulated by&nbsp;<strong>China Banking &amp; Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Important data from CBIRC was recently released since my report&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartkarma.com\/insights\/tesla-s-august-sales-numbers-in-china-don-t-add-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tesla&#8217;s August Sales Numbers in China Don&#8217;t Add Up<\/a>&nbsp;was published on 9\/17\/21 which corrected an extreme and highly unusual difference between reported August sales by CPCA and insured sales reported by CATARC.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBIRC reported, without further clarification, that&nbsp;<strong>indicated Model Y insured sales were 11,721 in August\u2014well within the more traditionally slim margin versus CPCA reported sales at 11,576.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This corrected a dramatically lower&nbsp;<strong>1,538 for Model Y<\/strong>, down&nbsp;<strong>28%<\/strong>&nbsp;versus weak July results, which previously had been reported by&nbsp;<strong>CATARC<\/strong>&nbsp;and which had created a&nbsp;<strong>stunning 10,038 difference versus the 11,576 previously reported by CPCA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBIRC reported Model 3 insured August sales at&nbsp;<strong>1,273<\/strong>, confirming previously reported results by CATARC which had closely aligned with the&nbsp;<strong>weak 1,309 (down a whopping 89% y\/y)<\/strong>&nbsp;as reported by CPCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CBIRC\u2019s action to correct the large discrepancy in reported August Model Y sales was no doubt a great relief to Tesla,<\/strong>&nbsp;which has enough trouble with regulators already in China as well as the US\u2014not to mention its voracious local rivals which are rapidly
