On the morning of January 13, Beijing time, Tesla announced that it will release its fourth quarter and full year financial report for 2021 after the us stock market closes on January 26, EST (January 27, Beijing time).

Tesla Cybertruck jumps to 2023
On January 14, according to foreign media reports, Tesla deleted the time information and related materials of the electric pickup truck from the Cybertruck website in 2022. According to people familiar with the matter, Tesla plans to start production at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
As soon as the Tesla Cybertruck was released, it shocked the U.S. pickup market, with consumers booking as many as 600,000 units, but the production date of the new car was repeatedly pushed back.
Cybertruck has been repeatedly delayed, and Tesla's competitors are entering the electric pickup market one after another. Ford has pledged to double production of the F-150 Lightning and will deliver it in the first half of 2022; electric pickup startup Rivian began delivering the first R1Ts to customers.
It is reported that the reason for the delay may also lie in many external factors such as the global chip shortage, and when Musk was asked about Cybertruck last November, he said that this year's supply chain nightmare is not over.
Editor's comments: The demand for pickup trucks in the United States is beyond doubt, but will Cybertruck's repeated ticket jumps, coupled with the offensive of Ford and Rivian, affect consumers' confidence in Cybertruck?

Suspected Wuling Hongguang MINI new product planning exposure
A few days ago, the network exposed the suspected Wuling Automobile's 2022 product planning.
For the internal code name "E230" model, the car has been exposed on the Internet.
Judging from the road test spy photos, the body shape of the code-nameD E230 model is similar to the shape of the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV convertible version.

In the power part, Wuling E230 is expected to be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous drive motor, and it is reported that its comprehensive cruising range is expected to be around 305km.
Editor's comments: In the past year, the national god car MINIEV has simply gone out of the circle, but imitators have also begun to emerge. What the people need, Wuling will make, and Wuling will obviously not stop there. The battery life of the new car is improved, can the price remain close to the people and create a sales myth?
It is reported that the new car will be launched around March or April 2022, when it will be released along with the new BMW X1.
The overall design of the new car should be similar to the new BMW X1 released with it, but the front grille will have a closed design. The rear is equipped with a small roof spoiler, and the rear surround lower part can also be seen in a bulge similar to a diffuser.
Editor's comments: Under the tide of electrification, BBA is struggling to fight, but I don't know if iX1 will also adopt the strategy of "oil and electricity compatibility"?
