PHYSIX OBSERVATION

A RMB 250,000-class pure electric SUV making 800V, lidar and the NVIDIA Thor chip standard equipment shows IM continuing to pile on hardware. For users, this hardware trickle-down is good news, but brand recognition and channel reach remain weak spots, and whether this converts into orders will depend on the delivery pace.
