XPeng (XPEV.US) shares are rising more than 12% to $10 per share after the company announced more than 25,000 orders for its G6 SUV within 72 hours of the start of presales. The G6, a direct competitor to the Tesla Model Y, is touted to have a 755 km maximum range and the ability to offer 300 km of range in just 10 minutes of charging. The presale prices for the G6 began around $31,510, below the $36,948 price tag in China for the Tesla Model Y. Despite the positive response to the G6 today's stock rally may be short-lived due to intense competition in the segment.
