$NIO NIO CEO Li Bin in other words
The future belongs to automakers that become AI companies. AI must be embedded across the entire value chain - from smart vehicles and R&D to sales, service, and manufacturing. $NIO
Sina Auto: At 2026 Future Pioneers Conference, $Nio Li Bin said: automakers must also be AI companies, mostly in smart cockpits, R&D, sales & manufacturing
How these companies can integrate AI technology & become intelligent entities is a direction many are exploring. #Nio
From “理记”, a Weibo blogger with over 5 million followers:
As of now, locked in orders for $XPEV GX: ~60-70k
$NIO ES9: ~40-50K
Aito M9: ~20-30K
$LI L9: ~10-20K
Blake: In a media interview, $Nio Li Bin revealed that orders for the #Nio#ES9 have far exceeded expectations.
The proportion of orders for the high-spec "Executive Signature Edition" & "Horizon Special Edition" was significantly higher than anticipated.

The next one to two years will see a brutal shakeout in China's auto industry, with laggard brands and tech getting wiped out, Nio's founder William Li said today. As car products become more homogeneous, users shift from comparing specs to choosing brands, marking a new era of systemic competition over one-off tricks, he added. @NIOGlobal
Regarding the pricing of the new $NIO Onvo L60, Shen Fei stated: "It is quite challenging to set the price. First, the specifications have been upgraded—incorporating features such as a TV, a refrigerator, and LiDAR—which alone has driven up the manufacturing cost by at least 20,000 RMB. Furthermore, with raw material costs also on the rise, it is highly probable that the final price will be slightly higher than that of the current model."
As for exactly how much more expensive it will be, that has not yet been finalized; the final details will be revealed on June 11th.
After wrapping up the launch event at the Greater Bay Area International Auto Show, I headed straight to the delivery center to hand over the keys to the first ES9 users in Shenzhen.🚗
We delivered 19 ES9s and ET9s here today. Really appreciate all the support and trust from everyone. 🙏
Let's Power Up! Let's Jiadian!⚡
