    aims to grow automotive sales by more than 60% in 2025.

    I think this is being reported incorrectly in a lot of places.

    They said the new vehicles they’re launching in H1 2025 will allow them to grow 60% to the 3 million capacity they have.

    They did not say in 2025, but it looked like it could be interpreted as 2025 without saying it.
