On August 19th, during "Luo Yonghao's Crossroads" program, Li Xiang discussed the negative campaigns targeting the i8, stating that social media, traffic algorithms, and manipulation mechanisms have all been leveraged against Li Auto.

"But I believe there's still a company behind this manipulation, a competitor manipulating it. The i8 has been subjected to negative campaigns from the very beginning, including later attacks on our car owners' image - all of this is manipulated. Moreover, they have professional experience in this field, hiring professional teams, and even their partners specialize in this industry," he said.
