Overseas is a quarter of the business

New models
The Mona L05, a five-seat SUV in battery electric and extended-range versions, went on sale in China on Oct. 29. Nationwide deliveries began on Nov. 1, at a limited-time starting price of 139,800 yuan. Xpeng says the 5,000 cars available for near-term delivery sold out within three minutes. Global shipments started on Oct. 26.
CEO He Xiaopeng has said Xpeng aims for more than 60,000 sales a month in the fourth quarter. Inside China Auto notes there is "still a gap to close." Xpeng competes with Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y in China and, more and more, abroad.
