BYD, China’s largest EV maker, registered 3,255 new vehicles in September, more than twenty times its sales from a year earlier. BYD has sold 11,810 cars in Germany since January, narrowing the gap with Tesla’s year-to-date total.

      No, these are total car registrations.

      The German Federal Motor Vehicle Office (KBA) has a press release for more detail (only available in German).

      TLDR:

      In September, registrations of purely battery-electric passenger vehicles (BEVs) rose by 32% to 45,500 units. New registrations of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) recorded growth of 85%, reaching 27,700 vehicles. For the year as a whole, new BEV registrations increased by 38% to 382,200 units. The PHEV segment grew by 64%, reaching a volume of 217,800 vehicles in the first nine months.

      BYD and Tesla’s volume are a fraction of these numbers.

      Don’t know about the car service.
