NIO's recent days have not been peaceful! On June 23, a falling accident occurred at NIO Global Headquarters. A NIO test vehicle rushed out of the building from the third floor. The scene of the accident was very tragic. The test vehicle overturned on the road on four wheels, the roof was seriously damaged, and various cement fragments were scattered on the ground. Firefighters were carrying out rescue. Later, Wei Lai officially issued a statement: At about 17:20 on June 22, a Wei Lai test vehicle fell from the third floor of Shanghai Innovation Port Parking Building, killing two digital cockpit testers, one of whom was a colleague of the company and the other a partner employee. After the accident, the company started the accident cause investigation and analysis procedure in coordination with the public security department as soon as possible.

On June 28, Grizzly Research, a short-selling agency, released a report arguing that NIO was inflating revenue and profit margins through Wuhan Weineng to meet Wall Street expectations. Affected by the grizzly bear report, NIO stocks U.S. stocks and Hong Kong stocks are lower. Subsequently, NIO responded: "Its content is full of a lot of false information and misreading of the information disclosed by NIO, and NIO has strictly complied with the relevant standards of listed companies." At present, NIO has started relevant procedures for this report. Please pay attention to the follow-up announcement."

On July 1, the new force of car building announced the latest monthly sales volume as scheduled. Data show that NIO delivered 50,827 new cars in the first half of the year, up 21.1% year-on-year, of which 25,059 new cars were delivered in June, up 14.4% year-on-year. According to the delivery volume, in the first half of the year Wei Lai delivery volume bottom, less than Xiaopeng, Nezha, ideal, zero run. Of course, the above analysis is only aimed at the data level, NIO performance is not excellent, but its ES8, ES6, EC6, ET7, ET5, ES7 and other models are basically sold at more than 300,000 yuan, while Xiaopeng mainly focuses on the market of 150,000 - 300,000 yuan, Nezha and Zero Run mainly focus on the market below 100,000 yuan. In other words, although NIO is at the bottom, the average price of NIO products is higher than that of any new power brand.

Returning to this accident, there are no more than two reasons for the accident, one is improper operation, the other is vehicle software and hardware failure. Judging from the notification from the traffic police department, it denied the possibility of the second cause, while Wei Lai did not publicly respond to the accident, which may be a "lesson from the previous car". In the previous #Wei Lai test car fall #accident, Wei Lai was eager to take responsibility for the accident by "throwing the pan" tester, denying that there were problems with the vehicle and causing market disputes. This time Wei Lai kept silent, which to some extent avoided the "unprofessionalism" of speech. In contrast, what caused the accident? The response from the traffic police department is more authoritative.
