nio? no. nio stock rides on the coat tail of tesla. they will sell loads of evs, but tesla will be the iconic brand, much like apple vs. xiaomi and huawei. wealthier and brand-conscious tiongs will still identify themselves with western products, much like the monster homes (angmoh jiakhongchu) they own in the prc. but i predict that within 6.9 years, the prc regime will suck and steal tesla tech until it’s dry and pass it wholesale to homegrown competitors. incidentally, apple is rumored to ink a deal with hyundai to co-develop an apple ai-powered ev. interesting times.Any impact from that China EV company?
