Li Auto's product lead for models including the Li i8, Zhang Xiao, is reportedly departing on December 24, 2025, due to the Li i8's underwhelming sales performance. His second product line will merge with the first, managed by Tang Jing. This follows an 18.08% year-on-year decline in Li Auto's January-November deliveries to 362,097 vehicles, and recent supply chain department restructuring. On December 23, 2025, LI closed at $16.69 (-1.71%), reflecting ongoing concerns amidst internal challenges and market competition.
