They seriously should consider a “Nothing beats Jetour holiday” ad campaign before the TikTok trend dies. Reason why Chili’s is successful when so many casual dinning locations are suffering is because of successful Tiktok ad campaign.

BYD's Fangchengbao did their fall launch event with new versions of Bao-5 and Bao-8. FCB has really been good since Tai-7 got launched. These new variants will probably lift their monthly sales to over 30k in Nov & Dec, since those months are the high sales months.

China is increasingly setting global standards in EV technology, such as the critical safety standard of EV doors.
After China banned the export from Nexperia, European automakers are scrumbling for chips like during the COVID period.

byd dynasty family PHEVs had their product launch today. I think 2026 Denza will get their product launch soon with N8.
And also ocean family will have theirs soon also
ZelosTech picked up 7000 order for China Post in the latter's quest for autonomous freight fleet

Li Auto mega just had a bizarre incident where it caught on fire and got engulfed in 5 seconds for seemingly no reason
I get that accidents happen but this comes at a really bad time for them. They were just starting to stabilise from negative press and this is a pretty damaging incident

It's neither bizarre nor without reason. A poorly designed or poorly manufactured battery pack can do such a thing VERY easily. It shows Li Auto's battery pack supplier was either cutting major corners or had a critical failure in their quality control process. It also suggests poor selection of battery chemistry. They most likely prioritized cost and range over safety.
I think it's funny. Due to China's massive industrial success, everyone somehow thinks modern batteries are childsplay or primitive technology. In reality, although it is much simpler than producing a chip, it is a lot more like producing a bomb. One flaw and the whole thing could in theory take out your building, assuming you parked a bad EV in your detached house's indoor garage. If I owned one, I would never park it indoors or adjacent to other EVs.
When a single chip goes bad, it doesn't take down the whole rack, cluster, or data center. When a single battery within a large battery pack goes bad, it can take out an entire level of EVs on your cargoship or an entire section of your parking lot of EVs if parked tightly together. A chain reaction of one setting off everything else.

The easiest way to think about this:
Sodium - Best for city-only drivers. Okay for metro area drivers. Impossible for road trips unless you live in a country with a very dense charging network like China. Safest battery chemistry.
Lithium - Better for suburban drivers. Range overkill for city-only drivers. Not good for road trips unless you live in a region of a country with a decent charging network. Safety varies significantly by battery chemistry and quality control process. LFP on the safest end, LiPo and the rest I would not even touch if I were an EV buyer.
Hybrid - better than IC for city and metro area drivers.
IC - Best for rural drivers and road trips.
Hydrogen fuel cell - Best for long distance freight trucks only.
Even after Sodium mainstreams, Lithium will still have a huge chunk of market share.
