The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were primarily due to the increase in revenue from service, parts and accessories sales as cumulative vehicle deliveries increased.

  Cost of sales in the second quarter of 2022 was RMB 6,627 million (US$ 989 million), an increase of 100.0% from RMB 3,313 million in the same period in 2021, and an increase of 1.3% from RMB 6,544 million in the first quarter of 2022.

The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were primarily attributable to (i) an increase in employee compensation due to an increase in R&D personnel; and (ii) an increase in spending related to the development of new models to support future revenue growth.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were RMB 1,665 million (US$249 million), an increase of 61.5% from RMB 1,031 million for the same period in 2021, and comparable to the level in the first quarter of 2022.
