Tesla 's Model 3 and Model Y vehicles entered the list of 124 electric vehicle and hybrid models in a Chinese government-backed campaign to promote sales in rural areas, the industry ministry statement on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, in Norway, Tesla sales were up an astonishing 213 percent year over year in May. One key difference: Norwegian buyers have begun receiving the refreshed Model Y, while the model will only start to be delivered in major countries such as Germany, Italy, France and Great Britain in June.

Registrations of new Tesla EVs more than tripled in Norway in May, led by the refreshed Model Y. But European buyers elsewhere are no longer lining up to buy Elon Musk’s cars, and a growing number are looking at China-based BYD.
