NIO Inc (NIO) Options

This is bullshit… China's CATL, Sinopec plan to build 10,000 battery swap stations.
Only NIO has the swap station technology. For these two companies to build out stations NIO technology will have to be utilized. CATL and Sinopec are putting out propaganda. Why?
To appear NIO has competition to justify NIO selling off NIO Power to investors?
To leverage a buyout of NIO Power?
If CATL and Sinopec currently owns an economically viable swap station design they would be deploying stations throughout China. Think about it. Not one swap station has been built. They tried and failed.

I agree

Trump and his economic advisers knew damn well what his tariff announcement was going to do to the market. Not only did the White House know, the major hedge funds, MMs, Brokerage Firms all knew well in advance about the tariffs and when they would be withdrawn. Trump serves the needs of Billionaires , Global Elite, and Neocon Warmongers. He does not give a 💩 about Americans.
Make America Great Again is for Billionaires, Global Elites and Neocon Warmongers. They believe THEY are America. They too don’t give a 💩 about us either.
What we witnessed was a calculated controlled demolition where shorting operations made the $trillions lost by retail and passive investments.

Trump, manipulating the markets on purpose.

With Q1 earnings NIO will be brought down at will by the shorting syndicate. Only ramped up sales and positive significant events will prevent NIO from testing the $3.00 range support again.
A lot can happen between now and NIO's next earnings date “UNCONFIRMED” for Thursday 06/05/2025 Before Market.

Trump is an Egotistical Buffoon… a disgrace to humanity. He caused a $10 trillion loss in market value. He has been Reckless and irresponsible from wars to free speech and tariffs.

Remember, NIO has spoken about doing a spin-off of NIO power, and most likely get shares in that spin-off. And that will be a dividend-paying company in the near future.

Power Up Partners: Where is CATL?

NIO has finalized similar partnerships in 15 provinces, and the number is growing.
Nio's construction of battery swap stations this year would be funded primarily by its partners.
The Battery Asset Company buys and leases the batteries.
NIO is now building battery swap stations without incurring any cost.

Jining, Shandong to build 50 battery swap stations in the eastern Chinese province

Wuhan Shouyi Scientific Innovation Investment Group to build 100 battery swap stations in Hubei province.

Beijing-based Future Science City Group to jointly build 100 battery swap stations.

Changsha Economic and Technological Development Group to co-build 100 battery swap stations in Hunan province.

Most of the key journalists and journals have been reporting on NiO for many years. For them to confuse Mirattery with NiO Power is next to impossible.
Repeatedly, article after article, report after report claims CATL is trying to buy NiO Power… not one article names Mirattery as the acquisition target. Nor does NIO deny CATL is trying to buy NIO Power.
This is more difficult than trying to understand Chinese Arithmetic.

Why nothing adds up?… deception and manipulation.

Doesn’t this clear everything up about CATL
buying NIO Power?

China has been pulling their money out of the USA for almost a decade. The USA has imposed trade restrictions, not tariffs on China for decades to protect US companies. Chinese EVs is just one example. China’s trade with BRICS nations in the belt and road initiative has been growing while trade with the USA has been shrinking.
China’s exports to the USA accounts for about 14%-16%, (shrinking every year) of total exports.
China isn’t dependent on the USA for anything… not food, not energy not chips, AI nor chip manufacturing.
The USA depends on China for rare earth metals used in manufacturing from electronics to weapons and munitions. Mining is a 12-15 year process from geoengineering to finished material. The USA depends on China for pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and supplies… and on and in. The USA is delusional in believing it has leverage against China and BRICS to bribe and blackmail them into compliance.
The USA can no longer bully Russia, China or Iran with sanctions, tariffs or war threats. The world is shifting away from the Hegemonic Psychopath’s that control Washington and the EU.
I truly believe WW3 is inevitable to stop BRICS. BRICS is an existential threat to the Elitist Western Hegemonic Psychopath’s power, control and profit over humanity… “You will own nothing and be happy”. China and Russia are the heart and backbone of BRICS. All this propaganda about national security is being used to justify stopping a legitimate financial entity from competing against the Western Hegemonic Psychopaths. China is not a threat to US citizens or national security. China is a threat to the Western Elitist’s financial blackmail over nations and humanity.

Lies from the former residents of 1600 PA Ave and their clinging serving members in the DC cesspool. Virtually everything we buy is made in China.

Trade with the USA accounts for only 2.9% of China’s GDP.

Selling the moat to become profitable. It would have been much better to simply control costs over the years. William Lie will never admit HE was the financial wrecking ball that caused this mess.

China can't withstand a 100% tariff. If they want to try, the price of NIO chips just went up.

NIO has lost all redeeming factors to attract
investors.
The selling off of their greatest core assets to Chinese companies doesn’t pass the smell test.

Shorts won’t be satisfied until NIO hits .000s

CATL is blowing hot air about building battery swap stations.

CATL does not have a battery swap station system to deploy. They are lying about deploying 500 this year. Without NIO’s patented swapping technology CATL is nothing but propaganda.
CATL has battery systems and chassis systems but they don’t have any deployable Battery Swapping Station technology. Nor does Sinopec.

Bounce off of $3.40 a few times creating a psychological barrier to discourage buying then bring it down.

Nvidia's Drive Orin X price is about to double.

NIO’s 5nm autonomous driving chip, the Shenji NX9031 will soon be the only option in China as the tariff war continues.

As for tariffs, they can only help NIO. Others will have to buy NIO chips or pay way more for tariffed, imported chips.

If CATL can build the swap network out 3x faster than NIO, it may work out so long as NIO, retains some of the revenues. A fast build out will force the industry in the swap direction. Nio, already having all vehicles adapted for swap, would enjoy a huge advantage.

Let CATL buy 51% of NIO Power then share 49% of the profits. The partnerships are probably getting the lion’s share of revenue from the franchise model anyway.

CATL is looking to take over NIO Power. They are NOT looking for a partnership.

With the head of NIO Power transferring to ONVO, the CATL take over of NIO Power is now very likely.

CBU is all about trimming the fat, efficiency and profit.

Nio making organizational changes to focus more on cost control, report says.

The electric vehicle (EV) maker has launched an internal management mechanism called CBU (Cell Business Unit), which is expected to be fully implemented in the second quarter, according to a report in 36kr today.
https://cnevpost.com/2025/03/10/nio-organizational-changes-cost-control-report/

CBU?

Looks like the CBU is in control of NIO. I would guess major investors and NIO’s board had enough of Li’s undisciplined leadership approach.
The odds of NIO reaching break even by Q4 is getting closer to being a possibility.
Is CBU telling Li Q4 will be the turning point?

Trump will settled tariff issues with every country but China. China and BRICS is the target. Did you notice when Trump was using the board with all the countries and tariffs he never did say what the Chinese tariffs was on US imports. He mumbled some shit about devaluation of the Chinese currency among other things they used to arrive at the tariff percentage to impose on China. China is putting an economic ass whipping on the West. The only threat China poses is an economic threat to the Western Hegemonic Psychopath's "you will own nothing and be happy" global elitist. China is not a threat to Americans.
Control of the Panama Canal is not about national security. It is about controlling trade to protect Western Corporations from Chinese competition.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. He gambled and lost.

I see it now. Li will sell off NIO power so the company can achieve profitability. He wants to ditch the expense of building SS's to achieve profit. Then, he thinks that his chips will replace revenues lost from swap.

None of this would be happening if ONVO wasn't started as a seperate brand and if modest dealerships were built instead of monuments to Li's ego that are called NIO Houses.

Today is the buying opportunity. But… with NIO’s luck China will become embroiled in WW3.

Evidently CATL needs NIO’s battery swap technology. The 10,000 swap stations buildout for 2025 is now 500 by end of year.

Chinese energy giants Sinopec and CATL to build 10,000 EV battery swap stations

NIO is now using partnership to build battery swap stations similar to a franchise model. We will soon find out how desperate or corrupt NIO is if they sell NIO Power to the CCP company CATL. I do continue to hold the opinion NIO is a R&D company used by the CCP to enrich Chinese companies and officials by selling off their best assets.
Take BaaS for example. All these free battery swap deals is costing NIO money while the CCP owned Battery Asset Company and Battery Management Company gets paid from the battery rental fees. NIO gets nothing while the CCP owned companies and officials get paid.

Now this is EfedUp. Selling off their best assets.

CATL in talks to buy controlling stake in Nio's power unit, sources say.

25% layoffs is a positive sign. Musk trimmed the fat and turned Tesla profitable. Layoffs need to happen across the board for NIO to be profitable.

The positive…
NIO is an inefficient bloated employee heavy pig. There is much fat and dead weight to trim.

It’s on people. An All out NIO Short Syndicate takedown is in the works. Articles, videos and YouTube short clips are numerous. Most are posted within the last 24 hours. Nothing but contrived bullshit to manipulate the ignorant and the gullible.

Who is behind the NIO takedown?
Who is or was paying to lend shares for shorting NIO?
Our Fascist government has enacted laws protecting the criminals.
Corporations, Billionaires and AIPAC control the US Government while humanity suffers from Western Hegemonic Psychopath’s control, power and profit over humanity.
America first is NOT Americans first. Billionaires, Warmongers, Elected Officials and AIPAC believe THEY are America. The don’t give a 💩 about US citizens.

10s of Millions in FTD in the last several months and nothing is done about. The SEC is compromised and complicit. SEC officials who allow criminal activity to persist are given lucrative jobs in Hedge Fund Companies.
The US government is now in full Fascism mode. Social media has exposed the USA as the vial, violent corrupt cancer on humanity it has been for decades.

What the Shorting Syndicate is doing to NiO is a criminal enterprise. Sadly nothing is being done about it.
