An opponent may have simply meant decelerating growth in Nio's biggest market, which shows up to have actually startled capitalists.

Nio, XPeng (XPEV -2.27%), as well as Li Automobile are among the 3 largest electrical lorry (EV) players in China. On Tuesday, XPeng released its second-quarter numbers, and they were uneasy, to state the least.
