CNBC：

China's electric vehicle start-up Nio launched its first mass-produced model over the weekend, in a home market marked by competition with companies such as Tesla.

The ES8, which starts at 448,000 Chinese yuan ($67,765) is half the starting price of Tesla's 836,000 yuan ($126,470) Model X in China.

The Wall Street Journal/华尔街日报：

Backed by billions from influential investors and armed with global talent, over a dozen Chinese startups want to make dinosaurs of incumbent auto makers. As they start production, their determination is raising the pressure to innovate at traditional auto makers.

Chinese auto startups—many of them founded just two or three years ago—are betting they can leapfrog existing auto makers in creating a new world of electric, networked cars that drive themselves. But they must make enough of a splash at a time when some of the game-changing technologies they advocate, notably self-driving software, are still in the testing lab.
