My god. Indian director, sharing the post of the Indian VP’s hiring post, featuring - you guessed it - an Indian. I wonder who will get the job? Do better @jpmorgan @Chase

🇬🇧 More than 150 kebab takeout shops across Britain have been given government licences to hire workers directly from overseas through a new visa program. Crucially, the licences not only allow the Kebab shops to hire workers from abroad, but once those workers are in, they will be allowed to bring family members into the UK. There are over 1.8 million people unemployed in the UK, but yeah, why not bring in more overseas workers, because this is clearly a highly skilled job.

NIO’s Chairman and CEO, Li Bin, recently attributed the company’s ongoing sales momentum to its consistent core identity. He emphasized that even during its most challenging periods, NIO maintained an annual growth rate exceeding 30%. With the company entering a new growth phase in the second half of last year, Li Bin projects that NIO is well-positioned to achieve a growth rate between 40% and 50% throughout this year. $NIO

JUST IN: Rep. Ilhan Omar suddenly slashed her reported net worth from $30 million down to just $18,000-$95,000. She blames the enormous gap on an “accounting discrepancy” and is now insisting she’s not actually a millionaire, according to the Wall Street Journal. This doesn’t add up. It’s time for a full investigation into Ilhan Omar’s finances. Americans deserve real answers.

The Next MEGA Thing It's the Nuclear fusion Not AI. In 2023, NIO invested 995 million yuan ($140M) into a nuclear fusion startup called Neo Fusion That gave them about a 19.9% stake... NIO venture arm (NIO Capital) added another 10% stake The company is partly backed by Chinese state energy groups, so it’s not just a startup gamble ....

$NIO Just Got a $14 Price Target. Here's Why It Actually Makes Sense. A lot of people have written #NIO off over the years. Too much cash burn. Too much competition. Too many questions about whether they could ever turn a real profit. BOCI just dropped a report that says all of that is changing. And for once, the numbers actually back it up. The ES8 Is Doing Something Unusual Here is a stat that stopped me. In Q1 of this year, NIO delivered 45,184 ES8 vehicles. That is one model. In one quarter. And it outsold ONVO and Firefly combined. Do the math on that. At roughly $58,900 per car, the ES8 alone brought in about $2.66 billion in revenue. That is nearly 70 percent of everything NIO made in Q1. Call it what you want, but a single model pulling those numbers is not normal. That is a cash cow. The ES9 Is Coming, and BOCI Likes What They See The report expects the ES9 to add another 3,000 to 4,000 units per month once it stabilizes. Put that together with the ES8, and you are looking at over 10,000 units a month from just two models. That is volume most EV makers would kill for. And here is the thing. The ES8 already proved demand is there. It hit 80,000 cumulative deliveries in 181 days. That is fast. The ES9 is walking into a market that is already hungry for big NIO SUVs. The Profitability Story Is Real This Time This is where the conversation usually gets awkward. NIO has sold a lot of cars before without making much money. But BOCI says the NT3.0 platform changes the math. They call it "highly cost-effective." In plain English, that means better margins. Look at Q4 of last year. NIO posted 18.1 percent vehicle margins and actually turned a profit for the first time. Now with the ES8 making up over half of all deliveries in Q1, margins should be even higher. A 19.5 percent margin on $4.12 billion in revenue works out to roughly $803 million in gross profit. Even with operating expenses around $800 million, that is a profitable quarter. Battery Swapping Is Finally Paying Off Remember how everyone said the battery swapping stations were a money pit? BOCI now argues that narrative is flipping. They say the network is turning from a heavy burden into a profitable infrastructure asset. That matters for two reasons. One, it creates recurring revenue from battery leases. Two, it changes how investors value the company. A carmaker with a monetizable energy network should trade at a higher multiple than a carmaker without one. BOCI thinks the market will finally start pricing that in. Analysts Are Starting to Agree BOCI is not alone here. Morgan Stanley still has a Buy. Nomura upgraded from Neutral to Buy. DBS moved from Hold to Moderate Buy. The consensus is seven Buys, four Holds, and only two Sells. The average price target is in the $6.80 to $7.50 range. BOCI went to $14. That is aggressive. But after seeing the Q1 delivery numbers, it does not look crazy anymore. What to Watch From Here Three things will tell us if BOCI is right or just early. First, actual NIO brand deliveries for January and February. We have March numbers, but the full quarter breakdown will confirm if the ES8 really carried that much weight. Second, the actual vehicle margin when earnings come out. If it clears 19 percent, the profitability case gets much stronger. Third, operating expenses. NIO needs to keep them under control. The difference between a small profit and a small loss is probably around $100 million in either direction. The Bottom Line - NIO is not a turnaround story anymore. It is an execution story. The ES8 is selling like crazy. The ES9 is lined up to add more volume. The new platform is lifting margins. And the battery network is finally becoming an asset instead of a drag on the balance sheet. BOCI put a $14 target on the stock. Maybe they are right. Maybe they are early. But the direction is clear. NIO is not burning cash the way it used to. And for the first time in a long time, the numbers actually tell a pretty simple story. Not financial advice. Just putting the pieces together from the reports and seeing where they lead.

$Nio Raises the Bar Again: 2026 “ #5566 ” Lineup Delivers More Tech, More Comfort, Zero Price Hike April 2, 2026 – While other automakers nickel-and-dime customers for basic upgrades, #Nio has once again proven why it remains the benchmark for premium electric vehicles. Officially launching the 2026 model year updates for its core "5566" family, the ES6, EC6, ET5, and ET5 Touring, Nio has delivered a resounding message: continuous improvement should never come with a price increase. Despite a challenging global economic landscape, starting prices remain unchanged from the previous year. However, the hardware, software, and comfort features inside these four models have taken a significant leap forward. Safety and Intelligence, Now Standard - In a move that prioritizes both confidence and cutting-edge technology, all four 2026 models now come standard with assisted driving indicator lights. These small blue lights, visible externally, instantly signal when Nio’s autonomous systems are active, enhancing communication between the vehicle and pedestrians. This is a feature typically reserved for luxury autonomous prototypes, now available in your daily driver at no extra cost. Furthermore, these models are expected to integrate Nio’s in-house Shenji NX9031 autonomous driving chip and the SkyOS vehicle-wide operating system. This is not just an update; it’s a platform-wide brain transplant that ensures Nio owners will stay at the forefront of AI-driven mobility for years to come. First-Class Comfort for the Driver - Nio has listened to its community. Previously, the zero-gravity seat was a crown jewel reserved for flagship ES8 passengers. For 2026, the ES6 and EC6 SUVs now offer an optional zero-gravity driver’s seat, bringing that same weightless, spine-relaxing experience to the person who matters most: the driver. Long commutes and road trips just became a luxury spa experience. Inspired by Nature: The “Wonderland Editions” Staying true to its Clean Parks initiative, Nio has introduced breathtaking nature-themed “Nature Wonderland Editions” across all four models. Featuring exclusive exterior styling kits and biophilic interior designs, these editions aren’t just cars—they are a statement. They connect the driver to Nio’s mission of preserving the planet, all while turning heads on every city street. Unbeatable Value at Every Price Point - Nio continues to lead the industry with its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, making premium EVs more accessible than ever. Here is the complete 2026 lineup pricing in US Dollars: Model Starting Prices: • ET5 Sedan  • Starting Price (with battery): $43,270  • BaaS Starting Price (Battery Rental): $27,580 • ET5 Touring  • Starting Price (with battery): $43,270  • BaaS Starting Price (Battery Rental): $27,580 • ES6 SUV  • Starting Price (with battery): $49,080  • BaaS Starting Price (Battery Rental): $33,390 • EC6 Coupe SUV  • Starting Price (with battery): $51,980  • BaaS Starting Price (Battery Rental): $36,290 Note: BaaS pricing is converted from RMB ¥190,000 – ¥250,000 An Offer You Can’t Refuse For buyers who lock in their orders during the launch period, Nio is rolling out a benefits package that rivals the most generous incentives in the industry: • Free Hardware: A complimentary HD streaming media interior rearview mirror • Ultra-Low Financing: 7-year financing with APRs as low as 0.49% • Five Years of NOP : Free access to Nio’s Navigate on Pilot advanced driver assistance system, a $2,500 value • First Year Battery Perk: “Buy-one-get-one-free” first-year battery lease on 100 kWh configurations The Verdict Nio has not simply refreshed a lineup; they have redefined value. By holding prices steady while adding standard assisted driving lights, zero-gravity seats, nature-inspired editions, and next-gen chip readiness, the 2026 ES6, EC6, ET5, and ET5 Touring are the smartest investments in the premium EV segment today. Stay tuned - Nio is just getting started.

NIO at work

𝗡𝗜𝗢’𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗦𝟴 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 If you’ve followed $NIO delivery evolution over the past five years, you’ve seen a company repeatedly labeled as “lumpy,” “in transition,” and difficult to model. But March 2026 is shaping up to break that narrative. This is not just another growth month. This is the month the ES8 becomes NIO’s structural volume anchor. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 • January 2026: 27,182 ( 96% YoY) • February 2026: 20,797 ( 58% YoY) Q1 2026 (Jan–Feb): 47,979 vehicles Already: • 77% YoY growth • Multi-brand scaling clearly underway But March is where the structure becomes visible. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗜𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 Three forces define this month. ① 𝗘𝗦𝟴 𝗛𝗮𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲 The ES8 is no longer a flagship halo product. It is now a core volume driver. • 70,000 cumulative reached late February • 80,000 reached just ~3 weeks later That implies a rapid production ramp. March expectation: 13,000 – 15,000 ES8 deliveries This makes ES8: → The single most important model in NIO’s lineup ② 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 Firefly is no longer experimental. • ~50,000 cumulative deliveries reached • Consistent monthly contribution forming March expectation: 4,000 – 5,000 deliveries Firefly now represents: → A reliable entry-tier volume base ③ 𝗢𝗡𝗩𝗢: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗽 ONVO is improving—but still early in its scaling curve. • February: ~2,981 units • L80 / L90 production increasing March expectation (revised): 6,000 – 10,000 deliveries This reflects: • Gradual ramp • Supply chain normalization • Not yet full capacity ④ 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗜𝗢 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗽 (𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲) ET7, ET5, ES6, EC6, ES7, ET9 continue to provide consistency. March expectation: 8,000 – 10,000 deliveries 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 ES8: 13,000 – 15,000 Firefly: 4,000 – 5,000 ONVO: 6,000 – 10,000 Core lineup: 8,000 – 10,000 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹: 𝟯𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 – 𝟰𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗩𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 (~31𝗞) • Slower ONVO ramp • Mid-range ES8 output 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 (~35𝗞–37𝗞) • Balanced growth across all segments • ONVO stabilizing mid-range 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 (~39𝗞–40𝗞) • Strong ES8 execution • ONVO near upper bound • Firefly outperforming 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 For years, critics focused on volatility: • 2023: platform transition weakness • 2024: rebuilding phase • Monthly inconsistency But they missed the pattern: 2023 → Transition 2024 → Foundation 2025 → Breakout 2026 → Scaling 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 NIO is no longer a single-brand story. It is now a three-layer system: • ES8 → Volume anchor • Firefly → Entry layer • ONVO → Growth engine • Core NIO → Premium base The ES8 alone now delivers in one month what used to take a full quarter. That’s not volatility. That’s platform leverage. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 March 2026 is not about hitting a record. It’s about proving this: NIO’s delivery mix is now repeatable at scale. If confirmed, this isn’t a peak. It’s the beginning of predictable growth. Disclaimer This article is based on publicly available data and forward-looking estimates. Actual results may differ.

Utterly appalling. This has left me speechless. This young Swedish girl is called Meya Åberg. She was 16 and was walking home after missing the bus. She was in a pedestrian tunnel when she encountered Yazied Mohamed, an 18 year old Eritrean refugee. He raped her. She reported it immediately. He was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison. You would have thought that he would be deported afterwards. But no, the Swedish court ruled that although the crime was serious “the duration of the attack” was not long enough to warrant deportation. Yes, you heard that correctly. She was not raped for long enough. So Mohamed remains in Sweden.

Chinese car brands are no longer competing only on price. They are competing on positioning. Yep The question for global markets is no longer whether Chinese brands will expand. It is how fast their positioning will solidify across each segment.

NIO and XPENG Please correct me if i'm wrong. 2025 NIO achieved a record-breaking fourth quarter delivering 124,807 vehicles—a 71.7% year-over-year increase XPeng delivered 116,249 vehicles in Q4 2025, 27.04% year-on-year increase ------------------------------------------------------- NIO guides Q1 2026 vehicle deliveries to range between 80000 and 83000 units, representing growth of about 90.1% to 97.2%. XPENG guided Q1 vehicle deliveries to be between 61,000 and 66,000 units, representing a year-on-year decline of 29.79% to 35.11%. --------------------------------------------------------- GAAP Net Profit (Q4 2025) NIO Inc. → RMB 282.7 million (~$40M) XPeng Inc. → RMB 380 million (~$55M) Now about (non-GAAP) this is exactly where the real comparison gets interesting, because non-GAAP tells you the “underlying” profitability (stripping out stock comp, one-offs, etc.). NIO (Q4 2025) Non-GAAP net profit: RMB 726.8 million (~$100M) Non-GAAP operating profit: RMB 1,251.3 million (~$179M) XPeng (Q4 2025) Non-GAAP net profit: RMB 510 million (~$70M) Non-GAAP operating profit: RMB 80 million (~$11M)
