Comment on Nio exec explains how its factories use humanoid robots by Augustus Meyer

CN EV Post

Robots, for what ? The few cars, NIO sells, can be assembled by few workers, much cheaper. Looks like investors have been cheated into charity funding of some research institutions, not a serious EV business, to make some profit. The Chinese know, why not to buy NIO stock.

Instead you get a race car team. Winery. Chips and t-shirts. Phone. Nio Houses with freebies. Day care service. Battery manufacturing unit debacle. Now robots?

@David Shurvell In reply to David Shurvell. NIO: Getting into NIO stock requires a disconnect between your perception and the verifiable facts staring prospective NIO investors in the face: Annually increasing losses with 2023 a new Net Loss record for NIO. How NIO's shareholders imagine that NIO is going somehow magically make money on a vehicle with a sharply lower selling price than the cars it's already losing huge money on, is beyond rational thought.
