Li Auto has an internal goal of 25,000-30,000 monthly deliveries and will aim to achieve that goal in the second quarter.

If Li Auto maintains the current level of demand for the second half of the year, there would be upside to consensus estimates, according to Edison Yu's team.

Li Auto guided for first-quarter deliveries of 52,000 to 55,000 vehicles, meaning it expects to deliver a total of 36,859 to 39,859 vehicles in February and March.

Deutsche Bank believes the true test for Li Auto will come in the second half of the year.

Deutsche Bank's Edison Yu's team thinks Nio's performance will improve significantly in the second half of the year, but there's a big "IF" in it.

Xpeng delivered 22,204 vehicles in the fourth quarter, above the upper end of the 20,000 to 21,000 guidance range it previously provided.

Nio delivered 40,052 vehicles in the fourth quarter, above the upper end of its lowered guidance range of 38,500 to 39,500 vehicles.

Li Auto has previously released data showing it delivered 46,319 vehicles in the fourth quarter, up 31.51 percent year-on-year and up 74.63 percent from the third quarter.

Tesla delivered 121,619 vehicles to Chinese consumers in the fourth quarter, essentially unchanged from 120,576 vehicles in the third quarter.

This represents a year-on-year increase of 1013 percent-1179 percent, and a quarterly increase of 17 percent-35 percent.
