Core Insights - The Chinese automotive industry is experiencing an intensified price war, leading to significant challenges for various companies in the sector [1]. Industry Overview - In September 2025, the average sales price of new energy vehicles dropped to 158,000 yuan, marking the first time it fell below the 160,000 yuan threshold since 2019. This price decline is attributed to fierce competition, resulting in increased sales for brands like Li Auto and Xpeng, but with stagnant profit growth [3]. - Major automakers such as BYD, Toyota, and Volkswagen are caught in a cycle where revenue increases do not translate into profit growth, indicating a long-term adverse effect of continuous price reductions [3]. Supply Chain Dynamics - To manage costs, automakers are pressuring suppliers to lower prices and are extending payment cycles significantly. This price war is affecting the entire automotive supply chain, with varying impacts across different players [7]. - Raw material manufacturers like Baosteel and Chalco are experiencing steady growth and have ample funds, while core battery manufacturers like CATL show significant growth. However, manufacturers of key materials such as cathodes and separators are still facing losses [9]. Strategic Shifts - As the price war evolves from a short-term strategy to a norm, the survival of automakers and their supply chains hinges on technological-driven cost optimization rather than mere price cuts. There is a need to shift from a focus on "price competition" to "value competition" [12].

今年9月5日，马斯克提出了万亿美元天价薪酬的计划。此后还威胁，如果不通过这个方案，他就将离开 特斯拉。"谁赞成，谁反对？" 结果，就在昨天（11月6日）晚上，特斯拉的股东大会高票通过了这个万亿美元薪酬计划。消息一出， 舆论一片哗然。而咱广大网民，一定都是看热闹的心态。他马斯克何德何能，凭啥拿这么多，特斯拉的 股东大会，凭啥还能答应他这个要求？马斯克是不是太贪心了，要知道，钱多到一定数量，那就不再是 钱，仅仅是个数字而已。 但是，你可能不知道，马斯克这万亿美元薪酬并不是一次性付清，而是要在未来10年，分12期"分期支 付"，而且支付的不是现金，而是特斯拉的股票期权。不仅如此，马斯克要想拿满1万亿美元，还有很多 KPI来考核他。 简单来看，特斯拉股票市值每增加5000亿美元，他才能拿到其中一部分薪酬，直到特斯拉市值达到8.5 万亿美元。而现在，特斯拉的市值约为1.5万亿美元，下一个目标是涨到2万亿美元，这就是33%以上的 空间。 除了市值目标外，还有其他考核指标。比如交付第2000万辆汽车，运营100万辆机器人出租车，销售100 万个机器人等等，每完成一项，马斯克才能拿到一部分。 说白了，这其实就是一个"对赌协议 ...
