Tesla‘s China-made electric vehicle sales edged up 0.8% in June from a year earlier to 71,599 units, snapping an eight-month losing streak, even as lower-cost new models from its Chinese rivals put growing pressure on the U.S. automaker.

Deliveries of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles made in its Shanghai factory, including both China sales and exports to Europe and other markets, were up 16.1% from May, data from the China Passenger Car Association showed on Wednesday.

Global car sales at BYD, the biggest Chinese rival to Tesla, increased 11% year-on-year to 377,628 units last month.
