Tesla is no longer the world's largest electric vehicle maker: China's Warren Buffett-backed BYD takes the top spot by outselling Elon Musk's company by 77,000 EVs in the first six months of this year

特斯拉不再是世界上最大的电动汽车制造商：沃伦•巴菲特持股的比亚迪今年上半年的电动汽车销量超过埃隆•马斯克的特斯拉7.7万辆，位居榜首

Elon Musk’s Tesla no longer reigns as the world’s largest electric vehicle producer.

埃隆·马斯克的特斯拉不再是全球最大的电动汽车生产商。

The firm is now in second place behind China-based BYD, an auto giant backed by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which outsold it in the first six months of this year.

该公司目前排名第二，仅次于总部位于中国的比亚迪。比亚迪是沃伦•巴菲特的伯克希尔哈撒韦公司持股的汽车巨头，今年上半年的销量超过了比亚迪。

BYD saw a 315 percent jump in sales from last year – it sold 640,000 electric vehicles, while Tesla delivered 564,000.

比亚迪的销量比去年增长了315%——卖出了64万辆电动汽车，而特斯拉交付了56.4万辆。

And the China-based company is poised to sell 1.5 million EVs this year.

这家总部位于中国的公司预计今年将售出150万辆电动汽车。

Tesla blames its slump on ongoing supply chain issues and sales disruptions in China after its operations were hit by coronavirus lockdowns and travel restrictions, according to Nikkei Asia that first reported on the matter.

据首先报道此事的《日经亚洲》报道，特斯拉将其业绩下滑归咎于持续的供应链问题和在中国的销售中断，此前该公司的运营受到了新冠疫情封锁和旅行限制的影响。

Tesla’s stock was down more than three percent on Tuesday morning, which is due to a quarter-over-quarter drop in vehicle deliveries for the first time in two years.

周二上午，特斯拉的股价下跌了3%以上，这是由于两年来车辆交付量首次出现季度环比下降。

CNBC News reports that Tesla shares could fall more than 40 percent due to its weaker deliveries.

CNBC新闻报道称，特斯拉的股价可能会因为交付减少而下跌超过40%。

Along with supply chain issues, Tesla is also struggling to ramp up production at its two new gigafactories located in Austin, Texas and Germany.

除了供应链问题，特斯拉还在努力提高位于德克萨斯州奥斯汀和德国的两个新超级工厂的产量。

Musk, however, is not shy about the struggle and called the new factories 'gigantic money furnaces.’

然而，马斯克并不羞于谈论这些，他称这些新工厂为“巨大的赚钱熔炉”。

Regardless, Tesla’s deliveries were 27 percent higher than the year before and the reasons for the drop could be temporary.

无论如何，特斯拉的交付量比前一年增加了27%，导致下降的原因可能是暂时的。

But this has opened a window of opportunity for BYD, which sold 134,036 EVs last month alone, which is a year-on-year increase of 162.7 percent, Barron’s reports.

但这为比亚迪打开了机会之窗，据《巴伦周刊》报道，仅上个月比亚迪就售出了134036辆电动汽车，同比增长162.7%。

Tesla, on the other hand, delivered almost 565,000 electric vehicles in the first half of the year.

另一方面，特斯拉今年上半年交付了近56.5万辆电动汽车。

In the second quarter, Tesla delivered 254,695 EVs, a drop of 18 percent compared with first quarter deliveries of 310,048.

今年第二季度，特斯拉共交付了254695辆电动汽车，比第一季度的310048辆减少了18%。

But June was the highest vehicle production month in Tesla’s history, according to Tesla.

根据特斯拉的数据，6月是特斯拉历史上汽车产量最高的月份。

Tesla may not be the largest EVs maker in the world, but its Model Y and Model 3 vehicles were named 'the most American-made cars' in a survey from Cars.com last month.

特斯拉可能不是世界上最大的电动汽车制造商，但在上个月Cars.com的一项调查中，它的Model Y和Model 3被评为“最美国的车”。
