Another awesome weekly update! I look forward to your newsletter every Friday evening. Even though I'm in USA, reading your newsletter makes me feel as part of the Nio family. Not sure how Li Bin manages to run a company, plan for the future, and also make time to connect with the Nio users. But he and his team are creating a unique type of company that is unlike anything I've ever seen. Not even Apple, Google, Facebook, Tesla, or Amazon has created such a bond between the company and its customers. No wonder they have the highest referral rate. Keep up the great work Nio and Niotime!

I commend NIO on its transparency of investing and resolving the flat tire repair issue. Also looking forward to the official October delivery numbers.

Thank you for your comment. Their executives are clear and align with Li Bin to present a user enterprise brand, user happiness is their new moat.

Hi thanks. Always looking foward to read more. You mention:(Be cautious on Monday’s early breakout on China’s government official news on its 5 years policy on renewable energy plan. Otherwise, next week NIO may pull off to its EMA8 ($28.72) & EMA21($26.07)) In my view, China government regulation will only help to push EV sales...What kind of bad news do you anticipate?

Kk, we don't expect any bad news regarding China's government policy in supporting EV. This is clear in their long term agenda to help China electrifying without relying much on oil. We would be interested in how much China is supporting this.

Thank you, Pura for your comment. Good point and further added our observation: might see a potential previous high resistance testing and possibly selling the news given the October delivery announcement.

I hope this clears your confusion regarding the "cautious" on the policy news.

I think it's the classic case of buy on the rumor and sell on the news. Stock has gone up a lot in the past month and esp in the past week. Even a great Oct delivery will most likely result in stock going down as traders take their profits. The stock will need to consolidate.

So the announcement of the ET7 is only going to be release in 3-5 years? That sucks.

Hi kaddjj, thank you for your comment and sorry for the confusion. We rephrased the sentence to make it clear that the second-gen platform design is sustainable and adaptable to the market in the next 3-5 years. This doesn't mean the next sedan ET7 or EE7 will come in next 3-5 years, instead we are hoping to see this model debut in NIO Day 2020. Good news is that this model will be built on new platform which is good news for future NIO users who can enjoy an improvement in term of hardware, structural, etc.

What is the 100 and 150 degree battery?

Hi Gareth, thanks for asking this question. Good one, the 100-degree battery is equivalent a 100kWh, this is just Chinese's way to describe the battery capacity. The higher degree, the longer the driving miles.
