AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/15 Report--

When the competition of new energy vehicles becomes more and more fierce, the enterprises that dominate the advanced core technology may be more competitive. Prior to this, Tesla CEO Musk also publicly stated that Xiaopeng had stolen his technology. In response to this situation, he Xiaopeng, president of Xiaopeng Automobile, said that he Xiaopeng, president of Xiaopeng Automobile, wanted to "scold" Tesla, but was stopped by the team.

Recently, he Xiaopeng is the subject of the latest interview in a CCTV program called "meeting a Big shot". Recalling last year, when Musk, president of Tesla, said that Xiaopeng had copied Tesla's latest technology, he Xiaopeng revealed that he wanted to send friends to scold Tesla at that time, but was stopped by the team, which said that it had written a draft of public relations.

But he Xiaopeng mentioned that he was even more angry when he saw the public relations draft written by the team, saying that it was rubbish and severely scolded the team. He Xiaopeng said: "people scold you, why are you so polite? don't think they are so good."

It is understood that during the Guangzhou Auto Show last year, Xiaopeng CEO he Xiaopeng announced at the press conference that Xiaopeng Automobile will start using upgraded self-driving software and hardware systems in 2021, while also launching the first mass-produced smart car equipped with lidar.

The news quickly attracted the attention of its US counterparts, and some industry insiders retweeted and commented on the social media platform, and Musk responded. Although Xiaopeng cars have Tesla's old version of self-driving software, they obviously don't have Tesla's latest neural network computer, it said in its reply. Later, he specifically pointed to Xiaopeng Automobile: "this is just a problem with Xiaopeng Motor. Other companies in China do not have such behavior."

He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xiaopeng Automobile and CEO, also posted a Weibo message on Nov. 21. Although no one was mentioned, it was speculated that it was alluding to Musk.

It is worth mentioning that as early as the beginning of last year, Tesla filed a lawsuit against former employee Cao Guangvalue, accusing him of stealing the company's trade secrets. To investigate the reason, Cao Guangwei changed his job from Tesla to Xiaopeng car in January this year, which prompted Tesla to launch this behavior.

He Xiaopeng, founder and chairman of Xiaopeng Motor, responded to the incident, but the statement did not deny Xiaopeng's "theft", but talked about Tesla's behavior as a blow to Xiaopeng.

In the program "meeting a Big shot", he Xiaopeng also mentioned again that Tesla had no evidence for the "theft" and that the employee had only stayed for a week after he changed his job from Tesla to Xiaopeng.

Although he Xiaopeng implied from the above that he Xiaopeng will fight against Tesla this year: you will not be able to find the east. However, judging from the current market performance, Xiaopeng's performance is far below that of Tesla. Data show that Xiaopeng delivered 2223 new cars in February, down 63% from January, and did not continue the good trend of monthly delivery hitting a new high. In January this year, the brand delivered 6015 new cars, an increase of 470% over the same period last year.

By contrast, Tesla achieved a significant increase in sales after Tesla Model Y completed delivery. According to the data of the Federation of passengers, a total of 13688 new cars were delivered by Model 3 and 4630 by Model Y, with a comprehensive delivery of 18318 in February.
