So, they predict 20% less deliveries compared to Mr. Lis promise of 200,000. Which would mean, again Mr. Li, CEO of NIO, overpromises, underdelivers. Losing his credibility, or, better to say, losing his face. Old shareholders, like me, who believed in NIOs tech, are punised by more and more dilution.
