Seres Executive Warns ‘Rushed’ Development Is Auto Industry’s Biggest Risk

The remark lands as a direct challenge to the speed-over-rigor instinct that has defined much of China's EV expansion, and it comes from an executive whose own company scaled fast.

Whether peers echo the warning or quietly keep compressing timelines is the open question worth tracking.
