In this episode of Courtside Financial, Obi breaks down NIO’s massive ES8 production surge — 10,000 units sold in just 40 days — and what it reveals about the company’s transformation from survival mode to sustainable growth.

But this story runs deeper than one automaker. Across the EV industry, a quiet shift is underway: the collapse of the luxury mall showroom model and the rise of disciplined financial management. From $11 million rents at NIO House to Li Auto’s MEGA recall, this episode exposes the real economics behind selling electric vehicles in 2025.

🔥 What you’ll learn:

• How NIO’s ES8 became China’s fastest-selling luxury EV

• Why NIO is closing high-cost mall showrooms across China

• The $5 million cost problem haunting EV retail

• What Li Auto’s MEGA fire means for battery safety and quality control

• How Chinese EV makers are focusing on profitability, not hype
