TREE NEWS update: Tesla unveiled its second-generation Roadster on October 16, with a prototype equipped with a SpaceX cold-gas propulsion system performing aerial rolls and short airborne leaps during a live demonstration. Nio founder Li Bin shared the video and commented, “Amazing! We really don’t have this. Thumbs up for Tesla.” Li had previously said publicly that he has everything Tesla has, but Tesla doesn’t have what he has.
Nio’s Li Bin Praises Tesla Roadster Flight Demo: ‘We Really Don’t Have This’
AI take
Li Bin's praise lands differently given his earlier claim to hold an edge Tesla lacks; publicly conceding a capability gap is a notable signal for a rival founder. The demo itself is a prototype stunt, not a product, so its weight is reputational rather than commercial. The open question is whether such showmanship shifts how Chinese EV makers position their own technology narratives.
