The delivery data for Ideal One in September has been released, with a total delivery of 7,094 vehicles, placing it at the bottom of the “top 3 new forces” in terms of delivery volume.
Compared to the delivery data in August (9,433 vehicles), the decline in September’s figures is quite significant.
However, in the announcement released by Ideal on September 20th, the delivery target for the third quarter was lowered to 24,500 vehicles. We estimate that the delivery volume for September could be around 6,500 vehicles. However, as of the third quarter, the actual delivery volume has reached 25,116 vehicles, as projected.
As of September this year, the total delivery volume for Ideal cars has reached 55,270 vehicles.
In this announcement, Ideal pointed out that the core reason for this adjustment was the delayed resumption of production at STMicroelectronics’ factory in Malaysia, which led to limited supply of the fifth-generation millimeter-wave radar chips used in the 2021 Ideal One.
In response to the decline in delivery, Ideal co-founder and CEO, Shen Yanan, said, “Affected by the continued shortage of chip supply, the delivery volume in September has decreased. We are taking more measures to ensure the supply of parts and hope to shorten the waiting period for users to pick up their cars as much as possible.”
