In the week of June 12 to June 18, sold 7,800 units, continuing to lead among China's new car makers, the company said today on Weibo.

As of June 18, Li Auto had sold 19,800 units this month, and the company will aim to achieve a monthly sales target of more than 30,000 this month, it said.

Li Auto didn't explain what that weekly sales tally was based on, but apparently they were insurance registrations. The company had suspended sharing those numbers in May, but has since resumed sharing them.

Li Auto delivered 28,277 vehicles in May, up 145.97 percent year-on-year and up 10.11 percent from April, the third consecutive month to exceed the 20,000-unit mark.

Li Auto's current least expensive model, the five-seat Li L7, achieved its second consecutive month of more than 10,000 deliveries in May, the company said on June 1.

On Li Auto's Family Tech Day event on June 17, the Li L7 sold more than 1,000 units in a single day for the first time, the company's founder, chairman and CEO Li Xiang said on June 18.

(NASDAQ: TSLA) sold 14,500 units in the week of June 12 to June 18, lower than the 16,400 units sold in the previous week, according to figures shared by Li Auto.

From June 1 to June 18, Tesla sold 40,600 units in China, the highest number of vehicles, including internal combustion engine vehicles, for premium brands.

NIO (NYSE: NIO) was 2,000 units last week, up from 1,500 units the week before.

Between June 1 and June 18, NIO sold 4,800 units.

NIO officially launched the new ES6 on May 24 and rolled out the ET5 Touring on June 15.

Deliveries of the new ES6 began on the night of the May 24 launch, and deliveries of the ET5 Touring began on June 16.

(NYSE: XPEV) was at 1,600 units last week and 3,800 units from June 1 to June 18.

NIO (NYSE: NIO) today began delivery of the ET5 Touring, which was officially launched in China and Europe yesterday.

The first owners from several cities across China took delivery of the ET5 Touring on June 16, NIO said in an article posted on its mobile app.

NIO did not announce the number of ET5 Touring deliveries today, though it shared images showing deliveries in cities including Xiamen, Suzhou, Chengdu and Guangzhou.

NIO officially launched the ET5 Touring yesterday, and its pricing is identical to that of the regular ET5.

Including the battery, the version with the 75-kWh battery pack starts at RMB 298,000 ($41,860) and the 100-kWh version at RMB 356,000.

Chinese consumers who choose to purchase the model using the BaaS (battery as a service) service will see the prices start at RMB 228,000 for both versions, with monthly battery rental costs of RMB 980 and RMB 1,680 respectively.

It is worth noting that the ET5 Touring vehicles delivered today are not customized, but were produced by NIO in advance based on designer-recommended configurations to enable quick first delivery.

Consumers who currently customize the ET5 Touring are expected to receive delivery in about 3-4 weeks after locking in their orders, as shown by the information on the configurator for the model in the NIO App.

This is the same approach NIO took when it launched the new ES6 on May 24, when it began deliveries of the SUV the night of the launch.

The pricing of the ET5 Touring was a surprise, as it was previously widely seen to be priced RMB 10,000 to 20,000 higher than the regular ET5.

"Pricing of ET5 Touring is more competitive than we thought -- on par with the incumbent ET5 sedan at Rmb 298k+," Morgan Stanley analyst Tim Hsiao's team said in a research note sent to investors yesterday.

With NIO's broad price cut and the rapid rollout of the new NT 2.0 model, its sales can rebound considerably in the second half of the year, paving the way for 20,000 units per month, Deutsche Bank's Edison Yu's team said in a research note sent to investors today.

Here are more images of the first ET5 Touring deliveries shared by NIO on its mobile app.

In May, 389,000 vehicles were exported from China, up 58.7 percent year-on-year and up 3.4 percent from April.

Among them, exports of NEVs were 108,000 units, up 150 percent year-on-year and up 7.9 percent from April.
