Business Outlook

Pros

Only startup car company besides Tesla to deliver not one but 2 vehicles into production with a 3rd on the way. Byton, SF Motors, Lucid, Farday Future, Canoe, and even Rivian have not delivered yet . Great roller coaster experience overall, I dont regret it.

Cons

The company grew too fast and the market contracted at the same time which put the company in a difficult situation. There will always be cultural difference in a global company and NIO did not escape this.
