PHYSIX OBSERVATION

A 250,000-yuan-class pure electric large five-seater making 800V, four-wheel steering and a 700TOPS driver-assist chip standard shows feature trickle-down moving faster than expected. IM is trading hardware stacking for market buzz, but the real test is delivery pace and the real-world experience of urban NOA; beyond the price war, the ability to deliver on software is what keeps customers.
