Nio Cuts Delivery Times Again While Tesla Model Y China Buyers Keep Waiting

NIO Inc NIO has reportedly cut short the wait time to get its two key models delivered.

What Happened: The expected wait time to have Nio’s ES7 SUV and ET5 sedan delivered is now about two weeks, reported CnEVPost. Previously, customers had to wait for about three weeks to have their vehicles delivered.

The wait time was changed to around three weeks in late March. Until then, the wait time for ES7 was 4-6 weeks and ET5 about 3-4 weeks, the report added, citing data from Nio App.
