Li Auto, Inc. (NASDAQ:LI) delivered 35,020 vehicles in May 2024, including 15,000 Li L6s. Deliveries of the L6 began on April 24, and the strong sales set a record pace for the Beijing-based company’s newly launched models.
“We are fully committed to securing the supply chain and ramping up production of Li L6 to ensure users receive their vehicles at the earliest possible opportunity,” the company said.
“Sales of the 2024 Li L7, Li L8, and Li L9 continue to gain momentum, driven by the new pricing strategy we implemented,” said Xiang Li, chairman and chief executive officer of Li Auto.

Why It’s Important: China has become a competitive market, as global leader Tesla, Inc, (NASDAQ:TSLA) has gone all out with its strategy of undercutting its competition. Nimble domestic startups have followed suit, announcing their own price cuts and incentives. Weekly insurance registration data released from Tesla China shows Tesla still struggling to push sales. Through the week of May 26, the number of insurance registrations for Tesla EVs was at 13,200, according to a Tesla number cruncher.
The U.S. EV giant does not report monthly numbers. The China Passenger Car Association will release preliminary monthly sales numbers for automakers, including new-energy vehicle companies, early next week. The data will offer clues as to whether Tesla has thrived amid competition.
Nio ended Friday’s session down 0.19% at $5.39, according to Benzinga Pro data. XPeng and Li Auto fell 4.04% and 2.41%, respectively, to $8.31 and $20.25.
