Recently, Xiaopeng Motor sued the Mavericks for new progress in the dispute over the car's reputation.

On Feb. 18, the Mavericks said the car posted a video on Douyin to formally apologize to Xiaopeng and posted a screenshot of Xiaopeng withdrawing the lawsuit. In the video, Mavericks said that the source of the lawsuit was mainly in March and April last year, because of price reasons, said a lot of belittling and hurting Xiaopeng car words. Now under the mediation of the court, the two sides have reached a settlement and hereby solemnly apologize to Xiaopeng Motor. In addition, it also said that Xiaopeng car pattern is still very large, willing to listen to the voices of users.

In response to this matter, Xiaopeng Automobile Law Department also said in a post on the official Weibo: in the face of malicious slander and insulting remarks, we choose to use the law as a shield to firmly safeguard the dignity of the brand and safeguard the rights and interests of Pengyou. Thanks to the vast number of Pengyou, media teachers, self-media creators for their attention and supervision, but also welcome more rational discussion. At the same time, it is accompanied by a letter of apology from the Mavericks and a screenshot of the video of the apology.

According to the Mavericks, the contents of the apology letter written by the car can be seen that in addition to apologizing to Xiaopeng, the Mavericks said that the car also needs to pay financial compensation to Xiaopeng.

It is worth noting that Xiaopeng Motor is not the only one who has a reputation dispute with Mavericks. Last year, it was also sued by Weilai Automobile for infringement of reputation and demanded an apology and compensation of 5 million yuan. The Ministry of Automobile Law at that time pointed out that since April 6 last year, Mavericks said car had continuously released more than 10 short videos, using insulting, vulgar, vulgar and vilifying words. fabricate facts, distort and interpret the information about Weilai users, slander, abuse and attack the new energy vehicle industry, Weilai and Weilai users, and even use descriptions of insulting women many times to slander brands and products. And use insulting words to carry out malicious personal attacks on Weilai users, seriously infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of Weilai users. It is required to delete the relevant video, make a public apology and pay a compensation of 5 million yuan.

Unexpectedly, this matter has not yet come to an end. The Mavericks said that the car was bought in full because of the full purchase of the car, but Weilai refused to hand it over to the car, which will be taken to court. At that time, the Weilai legal Department said that it refused to deliver the vehicle to the blogger, and refunded all the money and paid the double vehicle deposit involved in the agreement on the day of termination.

In November last year, the dispute between the two sides finally ushered in a judgment of first instance. The court ruled that Gu Yubo deliberately distorted and fabricated facts, and infringed upon Weilai's reputation rights, and asked him to publish an apology on his Douyin account "Mavericks saying cars" for 90 days in a row. At the same time, compensation for economic losses from Weilai totaled more than 600,000 yuan within 10 days after the judgment came into effect.

Shen Fei, president of Xilai, also retweeted Weibo and commented on the verdict at that time: the sentence was too light. At present, the auto industry has not seen a statement of apology for Weilai on the platform where Mavericks said the car.

The data show that the holder of "Mavericks talking about cars" is Gu Yubo, the legal representative of Jiangsu Chebang Culture Communication Co., Ltd., which was established in August 2021 with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. In the early days, the account mainly focused on different brands and models, but it received a large number of fans' attention in a short period of time because of its sharp voice. Now that the earlier videos of Weilai and Xiaopeng Motor and other car companies can no longer be found, Gu Yubo has responded that many works have been removed from the shelves mainly because of complaints and he has received a number of letters from lawyers.

As of press time, Mavericks said car has released a total of 80 works, with 3.911 million fans and 43.32 million likes.
