Responding to online claims that tens of thousands of Li Auto vehicles are parked at the Gehu parking lot in Changzhou and that the company is improperly claiming subsidies and inflating sales, a Li Auto executive refuted the rumor. The executive stated that the site is a Li Auto parking lot, and the vehicles parked around the perimeter are display cars and test-drive cars recalled from various locations, which are being processed in batches according to standard used-car disposal procedures. Only a few hundred vehicles are awaiting disposal, and the claim of tens of thousands is seriously inaccurate; all related statements are rumors. This type of question-based rumor mongering guides comment sections to fill in false narratives by raising questions. Disposing of display cars and test-drive cars as used cars is a standard industry procedure and is fundamentally different from self-registration to inflate sales. Many netizens have expressed doubts about the false rumors and view the matter rationally.
