What happened
Li Auto has adjusted the launch schedule for its i6 model, moving the launch to late October, according to CnEVPost.
The company said the change is intended to shorten the time customers wait after placing an order.
Deliveries remain on track to begin in early November, and reservations had previously been set to open in late September.
Why it matters
The revised timeline suggests Li Auto is trying to align the ordering window more closely with when vehicles will actually be available, which could reduce the gap between purchase and delivery.
Keeping the early November delivery target unchanged while pushing the launch later indicates the company is prioritizing a shorter customer wait over an earlier reservation start.
