BEIJING, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Tesla's sales of

China-made electric vehicles in July fell 8.4% from a year

earlier, reversing a mild increase in June, in the face of

rising competition from rivals offering lower-priced new models.

Deliveries of Tesla's China-made Model 3 and Model Y

vehicles, including exports to Europe and other markets, reached

67,886 units last month, down 5.2% from June, data from the

China Passenger Car Association showed on Monday.

Its biggest Chinese rival BYD, with its Ocean

and Dynasty lineups of EVs and plug-in hybrids, maintained

almost flat global passenger car sales at 341,300 vehicles in

July.
