Between December 1 and December 10, Nio was 4,400, Xpeng 3,900, Li Auto 13,000, Tesla 23,500 and BYD 64,400 units.

Nio aims to complete the validation of 250,000 kilometers of NOP+ urban pilot routes by the end of the year, more than quadrupling the initial target announced in September.

Wait times for both the ES7 SUV and ET7 sedan have turned into 5-6 weeks today, compared to 4-5 weeks for both of them previously.

BYD sold 263,066 retail units in China in November, and Tesla 65,504.

The ES6 and ET5 Touring remain the top Nio models in terms of deliveries, together contributing 55.86 percent of November's volume.

The Tesla poster didn't provide details, but it seems to be referring to the Model Y's standard-range version being sold out of available capacity for 2023.

Offering new variants with LFP batteries is a means for some EV makers to cut prices, and Xpeng's LFP version of the P7i, launched last month, has lowered the starting price by RMB 26,000 yuan.

Nio has re-filed all eight models, with the biggest changes being the switch of the manufacturer's name from JAC to Nio and the removal of the JAC logo from the rear of the vehicles.

Tesla's share in China's BEV market was 11.87 percent in November, up from 5.78 percent in October.

Xpeng launched the P7i in China on March 10, and on November 6 rolled out two lower-priced versions of the model with LFP battery packs.
