Chinese electric car brands continue Tesla’s competitiveness in its real estate market, while keeping the door open to Tesla’s good fortune on the floor and in the inventory market.
Chinese new electric car company Xpeng Motors filed a stock market application on the New York Stock Exchange. This comes after raising $400 million from Chinese media Alibaba, the Qatar Investment Authority and Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala sovereign wealth fund.
As Covid-19 continues, Xpeng sees the moment when Tesla’s inventory is still booming and a higher festival in China of Li Auto (which was indexed last month in the US), WM Motor and Nio.
Xpeng Motors, also known as XMotors.ai, said at the filing of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it would sell 429,846,136 non-unusual Class B shares. The automaker, which is headquartered in Guangzhou, China, and offices in Mountain View, California, said it plans to raise an amount of $100 million of reserved space, a figure that increases with a successful IPO.
Xpeng becomes the third largest Chinese manufacturer of electric vehicles to be traded on the U.S. stock market. Li Auto was made public on the Nasdaq in late July and is subsidized through China’s largest client app, Meituan, as well as Beijing Bytedance, which owns the popular TikTok short video app.
NIO raised $1.3 billion when it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2018. Its models, such as the ES8 and ES6, are working well in China and the company is still waiting to enter foreign markets such as the United States.

The U.S.-China industry war continues, but Tesla has discovered its way with its presence in China taken more seriously by consumers this year. Chinese electric vehicle brands are well aware of this and are very happy to see that their domestic market goes back even to the Covid-19. Tesla’s inventory functionality also provides them with a very clever explanation of why enter the place of the U.S. inventory market. And the place of Tesla’s domestic market.
Xpeng, which was founded in 2015, has excelled at its competition by talking about its investment in software, some of which can be used through autonomous vehicle companies. The company has a feature called XPILOT that provides cars with semi-autonomous driving functions, such as automatic parking. Xpeng began promoting it as a direct competitor to Tesla’s autopilot feature.
Like Tesla, Xpeng is learning the tough classes of his good fortune in the automotive industry, and that includes creating exciting effect sheets. Losses continue, the company reported that the net loss during the first six months of 2020 fell to 795.8 million yuan ($114.4 million) from a net loss of 1.92 billion yuan ($276.1 million) in the first part of 2019.
Tesla has cut value this year since the pandemic and economic crisis, and the S and X models experienced $5,000 worth reductions in North America for long-range entry-level versions. The company’s maximum functionality diversifications also saw a $5,000 relief and the Model 3 earned a $2,000 reduction in all versions.
Chinese consumers tend to be quite open to buying more expensive cars, however, this market-leading dynamic began to melt the overall decline in the automotive market site long before Covid-19 began to show its first symptoms in December 2019. Tesla, Xpeng and their competition hope that the trend of buying fashionable, expensive and high-performance cars will return in the near future.
