On February 23rd, it was reported that Yadea, a leading electric scooter manufacturer, has sparked public interest with rumors of entering the car manufacturing industry.
The rumors originated from a video captured by a truck driver who was delivering goods to Yadea. In the video, Yadea technicians can be seen dismantling cars in a warehouse filled with electric vehicles. The vehicles being dismantled are identified as Lamborghini and Tesla Model 3/Model Y.
Although Yadea had not officially announced any plans to produce cars, some netizens discovered that several job postings released by Yadea a few years ago required candidates with experience in automotive research and development.
Furthermore, leaked footage of Yadea's smart manufacturing factory showcases an advanced production line and state-of-the-art technology, surpassing typical industry standards.
Based on these observations, some netizens speculate that Yadea might be venturing into the cross-border car manufacturing industry. It seems unlikely that dismantling Lamborghini and Tesla cars is solely for the purpose of enhancing Yadea's electric scooters.
However, others believe that Yadea's car disassembly activity is for the purpose of gaining insights into automobile and new energy manufacturing technologies, rather than directly manufacturing cars.

It is also worth noting that Yadea Holdings achieved a revenue of 17.041 billion CNY in the first half of 2023, representing a year-on-year growth of 21.3%. Their net profit reached 1.187 billion CNY.
In the first half of the year, Yadea sold 8.2107 million electric two-wheelers, marking a 33.81% increase compared to the previous year. Yadea is already the largest electric two-wheeler manufacturer in China. If they were to enter the four-wheeler market, they possess sufficient financial resources and technological capabilities.
