reviews
The pricing of the P7+ model exceeded expectations, and the overall product competitiveness was outstanding. On November 7, the company officially released the P7+ model. Previously, the pre-sale price of the model was 0.2098 million yuan, and the official price of the Long Battery Life Max/Super Long Battery Life Max/Limited Edition Max was 0.1868/0.1988/0.2188 million yuan respectively. Currently, the company revealed that the 12-minute pre-sale will break 0.01 million yuan. The P7+ is equipped with a global 800V high-voltage SiC platform. The CLTC comprehensive range is up to 725 km, and the electricity consumption is as low as 11.4 kWh under 100 km comprehensive operating conditions. In terms of intelligent driving, all P7+ models are equipped with Turing AI advanced smart driving as standard, using Hawkeye Vision solutions, and equipped with dual NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips and 26 sensing hardware. Overall, we believe that P7+ pricing has once again exceeded market expectations, which means that the company's ability to reduce costs in design and supply chain continues to improve, driving the company's pricing capabilities and product competitiveness to lead the industry. In comparison, there is little supply of pure electric products characterized by large space, family travel, and intelligent driving within the 0.2 million yuan price segment, and the P7+ model has advantages and potential for increasing volume in product construction.
Technology Day released a number of updates, with plans to launch extended-range models. The company recently released a number of technical updates at AI Technology Day. 1) The company officially unveiled the Kunpeng Super Electric System. Specifically, the Kunpeng Super Electric System has advantages in the following aspects: in terms of battery life, the pure electric battery life is 430 km, and the comprehensive battery life is 1,400 km; in terms of charging speed, it is equipped with 5C overcharging, more than 1 km per second, and the electric drive CLTC efficiency is 93.5%; in terms of power, it has AI power support, low energy consumption on flat roads, and more powerful climbing. 2) Tianji AIOS redefines the cockpit system architecture. The two chips simultaneously drive the cockpit evolution, which can increase AI computing power by 20 times and achieve the 10 billion parameter model for the first time. In addition, Tianji AIOS can achieve many functions such as globalization, multi-lingual real-time dialogue, full ecosystem interconnection, local operation, and real-time sensing.
Achieve full-stack self-research on smart driving hardware and build an AI intelligent ecosystem. In terms of hardware, the company realized the Turing AI Intelligent Driving System (NGP) hardware full stack self-research in the cloud, models, and chips. Among them, the large cloud model has 80 times the number of car-side parameters, and the company plans to reach 10 eFlops of cloud computing power by 2025. Compared with the official version of the Turing chip, the company's self-developed Turing chip is 3 times more efficient, and NGP can be verified and put on the bus in 60 days. In addition, the Xiaopeng Huitian high-speed long-range aircraft has a battery life of 500 km+ and a speed of 360 km/h. In terms of robots, Xiaopeng Iron has a human-like structure design with a height of 178 cm, a body weight of 70 kg, and 62 degrees of active freedom; the dexterous hand has 15 degrees of freedom of movement, which is iterated through an end-to-end large model+reinforcement learning. I have now started working in a factory, taking the lead in focusing on scenes such as factories and stores.
Profit forecasting and valuation
The current Hong Kong/US stock prices all correspond to 1x P/S in 2025, maintaining an outperforming industry rating and maintaining the 2024/25 profit forecast.
