XPeng VP clarifies 'old-timer' remark by post-00s product manager at launch event: internal banter, not directed at external users.

On October 24, Xiao Peng Group Vice President @Thomas Electric Train published a long post recounting the full course of the incident involving the use of the term "laodeng" by Xiao Peng MONA product manager Enta at the launch event. He made it clear that, from beginning to end, the term "laodeng" was internal banter among the product team referring to a few core leaders and was not directed at any external users at all. "Not a single one of the several 'laodeng' was displeased; on the contrary, they repeatedly praised it internally." "Laodeng is not offensive, laodeng is not offensive; it is the 'deng' vibe of some people that is truly disgusting. There should be less criticism of the post-00s generation." He stated, "Enta will still stand at the launch event and, together with product manager Ouyang Nana and 'laodeng representative' He Xiaopeng, jointly give the presentation."
