The wait time for Nio's (NYSE: NIO) ET5 electric sedan in China gets shorter again, continuing a similar change from the past month.
Consumers who lock in their ET5 orders now can expect delivery in 7-9 weeks, one week shorter than previously, according to the latest information from the Nio App.
The last change in the information was on January 5, when the ET5 wait time was shortened from 9-11 weeks to 8-10 weeks.
Nio is currently delivering the old ES8, ES6, EC6, ES7, ET7, and ET5 models.
The Nio App is still not showing wait times for the old ES8 and EC6, and wait times for the ES7 and ET7 are still both 2-3 weeks and about 2 weeks for the ES6, consistent with previous information.
