In London this week, we shared new research: 82% of Europeans say they understand AI, but only 21% feel comfortable with Physical AI and 13% would step into a fully autonomous vehicle. At XPENG, it's a reminder that earning trust is as important as advancing technology. $XPEV

Great to be back in Paris this week. Visited an XPENG store, met our partners and local team, and marked the delivery of P7 to the first customer in France. With a record month for sales and XPENG France celebrating its 2nd anniversary, we're building strong momentum. $XPEV

Spoke at Magna's management conference in Austria, reinforcing that local manufacturing is key to XPENG's commitment to Europe. With P7 rolling off the production line in Graz and our collaboration expanding to a fourth vehicle, it’s exciting to keep this momentum going. $XPEV

To mark #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, we recently welcomed families of children on the autism spectrum to our Guangzhou manufacturing base. A simple visit, but a meaningful one for many of the families — and a reminder to keep making technology more accessible and inclusive.

XPENG is entering a new chapter. From April 1, 2026, our Chinese company name will change to "小鹏集团" (XPENG Group) from "小鹏汽车有限公司" (XPENG Motors). Our English name remains as "XPeng Inc." A small change — signaling a bigger shift toward Physical AI. #XPEV

Recently took XPENG VLA 2.0 #intelligentdriving system out for a drive. One moment stood out: a left turn with an oncoming bus. VLA 2.0 judged the gap and executed smoothly, no hesitation. Moments like this show how it's starting to feel like an experienced driver. $XPEV

Today we're excited to announce that global delivery of our VLA 2.0 #intelligentdriving system is set to begin in 2027. Built on an end-to-end vision-to-action architecture, VLA 2.0 is designed to handle dense urban traffic, rural roads and real-world complexity — reflecting our belief that intelligent driving must work anywhere, not just somewhere. In China, our VLA 2.0-equipped Robotaxi has begun public road testing, with trial operations scheduled to commence later this year. As part of our global deployment plan, we will soon initiate international road testing of VLA 2.0. Exciting progress ahead! $XPEV

Great to celebrate Chinese New Year with our global owner community at the Global XPENGer Summit – AI Tech Carnival. Some of you came all the way to our headquarters from New Zealand, Malaysia, Indonesia and beyond — thank you for making the trip. I really enjoyed the chance to chat in person and share more about our exciting plans for 2026, as we continue building out products powered by physical AI — from smart EVs to flying cars and humanoid robots. As one of you said, "You've brought us to see the future." We'll keep working to make that future real! $XPEV

From regulatory discussions to real-world roads. At UN/WP.29 IWG ADS in Shanghai this past week, we invited global delegates into the passenger seat to experience our XNGP intelligent driving system. Officials and experts from markets including Canada, EU, Japan, UK and US observed XNGP's real-time perception, decision-making and integrated safety framework — all working together to deliver a smooth ride across complex urban and highway scenarios. $XPEV

What does #PhysicalAI feel like in everyday life? For many people, it starts with mobility. At the World Governments Summit, I spoke at a fireside chat on the age of Physical AI and the future of mobility. In my view, as the technology proves itself and adoption grows, autonomous driving and robotaxis will gradually become part of everyday life over the next decade.

Had a very productive meeting with the Prime Minister of Spain at #worldgovernmentsummit. We exchanged insights on XPENG's growth, EV innovation, and our plans to shape the AI-driven future of mobility, as well as our efforts to strengthen our European presence, including exploring opportunities in Spain. I also appreciated hearing the Prime Minister’s perspective on innovation, support for new technologies, and commitment to developing the local value chain. It was an open and encouraging discussion, and I look forward to continuing the dialogue. $XPEV

Kicking off the new year with a milestone I've been looking forward to: at the Brussels Motor Show, we announced the global launch of XPENG P7 across 36 countries and regions. Powered by XPENG's proprietary Turing AI chip, P7 is built with future-ready hardware and software designed to evolve through continuous updates. Marking our commitment to local integration, pilot production for P7 has also been completed in Europe. It's exciting to see our global first AI car taking shape in real-world driving, combining generous space, long-distance comfort, and fast charging, all while keeping safety a core priority. #BrusselsMotorShow $XPEV

At XPENG, ESG guides everything we do—from building cars to running our teams and engaging with communities. Proud that XPENG was recognized with two awards at the Hong Kong Corporate Governance & ESG Excellence Awards 2025, a testament to our ongoing efforts to build a responsible and sustainable business.🌱 $XPEV

An Interesting Bet Our VLA 2.0 is set to launch next quarter. As the first version, it must progress steadily and reliably while also making a stunning debut, which puts immense pressure on us. Therefore, after testing FSD in Silicon Valley in mid-2024, I came back recently and yesterday tested and compared the latest FSD V14.2 and Robotaxi. Overall, FSD has evolved from the silky L2 advanced driver‑assistance experience of a year ago to a reassuring, quasi‑L4 software stage. Over about 5 hours of test drives in Silicon Valley and San Francisco, standard vehicles and Robotaxi, both running the same model, behaved consistently and steadily. There are still some imperfections, but it's a major leap over last year's level. Our colleagues will share related videos later. This test drive further convinced me that the future will share the same autonomous driving system and hardware architecture between private vehicles and robotaxis. Everyone will be able to skip the L3 stage and to own an L4-capable car directly. Due to time constraints, our first version will not achieve all the capabilities of the current FSD V14.2. But over dinner with the team today, I made a bet with the autonomous driving team: if by 2026-08-30, our VLA in China reaches the overall performance level of FSD V14.2 in Silicon Valley, I will build a distinctive Chinese-flavored cafeteria in Silicon Valley modeled after XPENG current headquarters canteen. If we fail, our Head of Autonomous Driving, Dr. Xianming, has promised to streak across the Golden Gate Bridge. Our team believes they will win the cafeteria. Who do you think will win? $XPEV

Curious how @XPengMotors NGP will work outside China? 🌍 Can it adapt to different road rules, driving habits, and real-life complexities across the globe? We addressed this question during the XPENG AI Day event. #XPENGMoment $XPEV
