Since the beginning of this year, the new energy vehicle market has not been easy, and every car company has had a hard time under the frenzy of price war.
Coupled with Lei Jun Xiaomi car on the stage, not only rolled up the products, and even the chairmen of major car companies, are involved in the studio.
Oh, no, on the big weekend, Lei Jun led a group of executives to start a new round of live broadcast “offensive”.
During the live broadcast, Lei Jun not only responded to the “singer” rocking incident, but also revealed how much money Xiaomi spent on smart driving-2 billion yuan a year.
But the most unexpected thing is that Lei Jun encountered a malicious parting of cars on the way to live broadcast, and the situation was so urgent that Lei Jun directly sped out another golden sentence in English-“Cut in” after “are you ok.
” Obviously, being cut in line and being picked up is a very common game scene in life, and it is also a typical coner case that the intelligent driving system needs to deal with flexibly.
Fortunately, there was no traffic accident this time, otherwise Lei Jun would have “lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot”.
As a matter of fact Xiaomi car has been very popular since it was released and there has not even been much “hot search”.
According to the official Weibo news of Xiaomi Automobile on May 15, Xiaomi Automobile official announced that we have just completed the delivery of the 10000 Xiaomi SU7.
The statistical time is from the first delivery on 3 April to 10:00 on 15 May, for a total of 43 days.
43 days of delivery is the limit of production capacity, not the limit of Xiaomi cars.
Of course, Lei Jun was very satisfied with this result and said: Xiaomi is continuing to expand its production capacity to ensure the delivery of 100000 new cars this year.
In many previous news, the lock volume of Xiaomi SU7 has exceeded 100000.
Perhaps only Lei Jun can do this: “the car has already been sold before it is produced.
” By contrast, the ideal car, once the pinnacle of public opinion, is not so good.
It is reported that the ideal car is embarking on a new round of personnel optimization, with an overall proportion of more than 18%.
Based on the 31600 people shown in the ideal car earnings report in 2023, if the news is true, then the optimization of the ideal car may affect 5600 employees.
It is reported that the optimization involves more than 400 people in the sales and service operation department, the recruitment department has cut directly by 75%, and the smart driving team has been reduced to less than 1000 people.
The final layoff list was approved at the end of April, begins in the first week of May and will end by the end of May, according to people familiar with the matter.
It is true that time comes and heaven and earth all work together, and it is not free to transport heroes.
Li thought that he might not have thought that MEGA’s move was careless and unexpectedly let this time the boomerang go so deep.
Compared with the ideal car at this time the situation of Xilai car suddenly looks much better.
Why? Because there is a successor to the car.
On May 15, International Family Day, the new brand “ONVO Ledao car” was officially launched.
the first product, Ledao L60, was unveiled and booked for a price of 219900 yuan.
, low price, 900V, changeable electricity, Weilai endorsement.
With the arrival of Ledao Automobile, people can see a huge incremental market of Ledao Automobile.
After all, consumers can still come up with a price of more than 200,000.
But then again, will Weilai have internal friction with Ledao? Will the eldest son and the second son compete for property? No matter what the final outcome, the current Ledao and Ledao cars are still very happy.
Let’s talk about things later.
The most important thing is to tide over the current difficulties.
Xiaopeng hasn’t heard much news this week, but the zero-running car, which ranks the fourth, has done a big deal.
On May 14th, Stellantis Group and Zero jointly announced that Zero International has passed all necessary approvals and has been formed.
Zero International, which is 51% owned by Stellantis Group and 49% owned by Zero Motor, is headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Xin Tianshu, of the China management team of Stellantis Group, will serve as Zero International CEO.
It is understood that Zero International will first start selling T03 and C10 in Europe in September this year, and plans to expand its sales outlets in Europe to 200 by the end of this year.
At the same time, Zero International plans to enter the markets of India and Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa and South America from the fourth quarter of this year.
Yes, zero-running cars are going to Europe to “roll” foreign car companies, but I don’t know whether the formulation of “value reference” can still be effective in foreign markets.
First blessing, follow-up continuous attention.
The things in the car circles mentioned above are all quite normal.
Let’s talk about something magical.
First of all, Faraday’s share price has soared in the future, with Faraday rising more than 80 times in the future in a week.
Perhaps under the influence of the Biden government’s policy of imposing four times tariffs on imported electric cars from China, investors have new ideas about the future of Faraday.
But the question is still the same: will fluctuations in the capital markets fundamentally change the actual situation of Faraday in the future? Does Jia Yueting really have a chance to return to China next week? The second thing is the resurrection of Aichi car.
According to sources, Hudson acquired Company I (Hudson Acquisition l Corp.
) and will merge with Aichi Europe to provide electric cars for the European market.
To put it simply, Aichi has changed into a foreign joint venture, and its main position has changed from domestic to Europe.
How can I say that Aichi has been “bottomed” by European companies? The third thing is that similar to the situation of Aichi Gaohe has come back to life.
According to foreign media reports, American Automotive Investment Consulting platform iAuto Group and Chinese Express signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement on May 10.
IAuto Group plans to invest 1 billion US dollars in Gaohe parent company Chinese Express to help it rebuild its team and resume production.
Therefore, this time, high-tech cars are likely to be “bottomed” by American enterprises.
The trend of the era of new energy vehicles is irresistible, but under the grand narrative of the times, every car company is facing unprecedented challenges and tests.
If some people are complacent, some will exit sadly, but what will never change is that Chinese cars are growing stronger and stronger with the spring breeze of new energy.
Don’t be discouraged, please continue to believe that the day of China’s automobile power is not far away.
