Why The Li One Is Outselling Other Chinese EV Startups

[@MGZetta]

No matter if I like it or not, those Chinese never-before-heard-of start-ups do stuff instead of talking about what they wanna do. It's just weird that Chinese companies present stuff looking like a concept but it's already in production and selling all over China. Meanwhile, some companies promise awesome stuff but can't even do their concepts right.

My neighbor got one last year and it barely fits into the underground parking lot which can easily park a BMW 5. behemothW1,960 mm x Mercedes S class in width by 50mm and Toyota landcruiser by 10mm. So what I am telling is that it will never be fit into any European garage: most of your garage can barely fit a BMW5 in it let along Li One and most certainly getting in and out of the car in the garage will be very interesting. And even parking on the curb has higher risks of side scraping.

Design and option to use combustion engine to charge the battery is for sure a great selling point. It indeed will help not giving you range anxiety. The size is also good - 6 seater. We who have children know how it can get cramped in the back. If this model was available in Europe I would have bought it. This is also a problem because many of us want to BUY but can not. Wish there was a system like Tesla has, that the car is delivered to you for a smaller fee. Now I am still waiting for a manufacturer to really hit the nail on the head. Looks like manufacturers all try to cramp in all this high-tech things with gazillion of screens. Wish someone could develop a scaled down car without all this nonsense. One screen is enough and make it affordable to families with children. Comfortable captains chairs and low noise level inside the car and with OK range is all we want. And safe! Think here Tesla is doing it all right. Scaled down, less is more. Also the chinese should put focus also to develop new type of batteries that are cheaper and environment friendly and lighter. It will come and it will sure revolutionize the industry.

Basis of the Xpeng G9, probably done with them, as someone else announced for the Li L9... They should all collaborate much better and spare not only money, but spare wastings for users and collaborators... Nice, but there are lot of alternatives, and customers buy one model, not one useful car for any of their specific needs, allowing them to benefit of Staff COM Mobility PSC vehicles according to the residual value of the vehicle, based on a 10000 € amount per category, while each part of 10000€ is paid only 10€ per month... So for a 8th category vehicle like this, you have one among all the cars which have a residual value of maximum 80000€. So this allows you to have the car you need or the bikes you need or the boat you need each day, that is why EJFJ autonomous driving habilities for security reasons are highly required... So when you pay 80€ per month, you can get one vehicle at a time, with all the best caracteristics you really eed now, the color matching the purpose of what you plan to do, or matching your hat or accessories color... And you can have a Xpeng G9, or a Xpeng P7i, or a BMW z4, or any other car brand, with a residual price (Argus price of maximum 80000€, the value of the car you "bought and reserved for your family"... But you should only own the service, not one specific car... So you get help to take car of any of them, and do not have to worry about anything, you own only what you really benefit from... You pay anything for the pleasure you get, and pay the car per kilometer... And as Staff COM Mobility PSC is one of the 17 Public Services Companies validated by EJFJ State, they do not make any benefit, so Bill !nternational Technologies PSC only bills any user of the exact cost of the fees they have for efficient and automatic vehicles managements with help fo convenient robots and positive automations... Car keys are fully illicit since March 15th, 1996, as the car needs to belong to the persons who let something in it (their Staff COM Mobility micro-chip identifier on dashboard) or any object which has an important value for them. If the car needs to be changed, all objects they really need will be taken out, be cleant and prepared for a future ride with a better car, with other more accurate specifications for all the users who will make the trip with the Staff COM Mobility PSC member... But any user owns part of the car, and if 3 have a subscription, the categories are accumulated, so that can take 3 cars only if requested, or ony one with much better specificities and a much higher price... Only the best can be achieved by any of the car user, nothing bad can be done, no risk of any sort of damage, nor any waste of anything... We should benefit much better of everything which exist! Feel free to request better, always, and help others doing better than they can achieve alone! We all rent the same Universe and we own nothing at all...
