NIO‘s vehicle margin in the third quarter of 2021 was 18.0%, compared with 14.5% in the third quarter of 2020 and 20.3% in the second quarter of 2021. The increase of vehicle margin compared to the third quarter of 2020 was mainly driven by the higher average selling price, as well as lower material costs. The decrease of vehicle margin compared to the second quarter of 2021 was mainly driven by an increase in financing deals at subsidized rates for vehicle purchases which then resulted in a deduction of vehicle revenue and an increase in depreciation costs.
