Xpeng loved an enormous enhance in gross sales from the brand new MONA M03 in September, main the Chinese language good EV startup to a brand new month-to-month gross sales report.

Xpeng scored 21,352 deliveries final month, and greater than 10,000 of these had been the brand new MONA M03. As we’ve written just a few occasions, the MONA M03 has the potential to be a prime vendor not simply in China but additionally globally. After all, it’s all the time exhausting to get a learn on which Chinese language EVs will truly turn into huge hits globally, however the MONA M03 simply appears made for that.

Total, Xpeng’s year-over-year automobiles gross sales had been up 39% for the month of September. Much more considerably, they had been up 52% in comparison with August 2024. That’s the type of development many people have been anticipating from Xpeng. The corporate develops a number of the most high-tech automobiles on the planet and produces a number of the greatest value-for-money fashions. I’ve been bullish on Xpeng for a number of years now, and stay so, however rising to a mass-market degree is unquestionably an enormous problem, and it’s heartening to see some sturdy development serving to it alongside once more.

Trying throughout the primary three quarters of the 12 months mixed, Xpeng tells us that gross sales are up 21% 12 months over 12 months, reaching 98,561 deliveries in that point.

Should you extrapolate from September gross sales, that may be 256,224 electrical car gross sales — no small accomplishment. Genuinely, that is attending to a mass-market scale, particularly the extra Xpeng turns into a worldwide model, that would make Xpeng a real auto market participant among the many huge boys. Nicely, it’s on that trajectory. Should you use the month-to-month common for the primary 9 months of the 12 months as a substitute and extrapolate out to a full 12 months, you get 131,415, which continues to be a notable achievement. However that 256,224 determine positive appears much more spectacular and interesting if Xpeng can attain it.

The excellent news is, Xpeng’s implied steerage is we are able to anticipate extra relatively than much less. “With a broad array of superior configurations and aggressive pricing, XPENG MONA M03 has skilled a big enhance in orders since its market launch. XPENG and provide chain companions are sparing no effort to organize for XPENG MONA M03’s additional manufacturing ramp-up,” the corporate writes.

“Moreover, after profitable launch occasions in Madrid and Lisbon in September, XPENG formally launched the G9, G6 and P7 fashions to the Spanish and Portuguese markets.

“Trying forward, the Firm expects to unveil XPENG P7+, positioned as AI-defined automotive, in October 2024. XPENG may even showcase its state-of-the-art AI applied sciences and functions and its new mannequin lineup on the 2024 Paris Motor Present from October 14 to 21.”

There are a variety of causes to really feel bullish about Xpeng, however, hey, that’s lengthy been my perspective.

Then there’s Xpeng’s ventures into autonomous driving. It appears to have top-of-the-line autonomous driving groups and software program suites on the planet in the meanwhile. The true marker is when an automaker truly achieves absolutely driverless driving, however within the meantime, word that Xpeng has supervised self-driving just like Tesla’s FSD (Full Self Driving). It’s referred to as XNGP. Xpeng updates us on its progress: “In September, XNGP’s month-to-month lively consumer penetration fee in city driving reached 83%. XPENG rolled out its AI Tianji XOS 5.3 to all eligible homeowners in China on September 25, enhancing their expertise with 32 function updates and 38 useful upgrades. Empowered by end-to-end massive AI fashions, XPENG’s ADAS options can ship seamless good driving on all public roads, together with passing digital toll assortment (ETC), navigating U-turns and roundabouts, and far more.” Once more, like Xpeng on the entire, I feel this expertise is a type of sleeping big that’s progressing properly with little consideration or fanfare (in comparison with what Tesla and a few others get). However we’ll see.
