Tesla also reached the highest monthly output at its Shanghai plant in June.
The numbers reflect its production ramp-up following the country's Covid-19-induced lockdown that curbed output during the April - June quarter.
The Shanghai plant manufacturing Model 3s and Model Ys reopened on April 19 but only resumed total production in mid-June.
China's overall passenger car sales in June totaled 1.97 million, up 22% from a year earlier, aided by government measures.
CPCA expected car sales in July to increase by around 20% year on year. Demand could further strengthen in the fourth quarter, leading to solid growth for the year.

China slashed the purchase tax for small-engined vehicles by half on June 1. Local governments offered subsidies or added car ownership quotas to boost sales.
