After Xpeng GX hit the market with booming orders, its delivery cycle stretches to 35 weeks, sparking online rumors that buyers could skip the queue by paying an extra 20,000 RMB. On June 3, Xpeng Chairman He Xiaopeng refuted the claim during a live stream from Guangzhou factory, stating Xpeng has strict corporate rules against any extra payment for priority vehicle pickup, even rejecting price hike requests from personal acquaintances.

When asked about the rumor, He disclosed several old friends offered to pay 20,000 to 100,000 RMB for early delivery. Though he hesitated briefly, all such applications were turned down for brand development. He warned allowing queue-jumping via extra fees would trigger widespread markup scams across popular trims, hurting regular customers and disrupting healthy market competition; Xpeng never charged extra for car delivery and will stick to the rule in the future.

The hot-selling model draws inquiries from long-lost contacts working in aviation, film and cultural industries. He personally guided most of these contacts on WeChat to pick configurations with shorter waiting time. Faced with the 35-week long delivery lead time, He admits severe capacity pressure. Together with President Wang Fengying, he supervises core supply chain optimization, opening new molds and production lines for key parts to accelerate delivery in 2–4 weeks.

In quality control, Xpeng GX passes 200 more inspection items than industrial average standards to guarantee product reliability, and its overseas blind pre-orders have exceeded 1,000 units amid robust global demand.
