@@Tetrathegod Absolute nonsense. Where are you reading this garbage? You're either a Tesla fan boy or a naive and obedient follower of the anglosaxon mainstream media.
People are complaining that its a copycat of different cars, I really don't care it has a good looking design , and I'm glad they didn't go with the split headlights. Seems like they selling the car at a loss too, so it's a steal. Only thing I don't like is the brakes. From what I've seen its another plaid situation where the brakes are clearly not good enough for the vehicle.
I've seen some tests in China, and actually, the brakes are quite good for street use, but they do tend to overheat too easily on the racetrack. However, Xiaomi has officially released a racetrack modification kit
If the car looks like a Porche,emmmmm,no good,you know. If the car drives like a Proche,(within 3 years and only USD 1.6b budget) emmmmm, the board should consider fire the CEO of many motor companies Me.?I am waiting for the Su7 Pro Plus(800V+rear drive) or the Su7 Ultra(350km/h)
We've had the phones, vacuum cleaners, battery banks, kettles and even a screwdriver set to open and service cameras, they are all first quality and really well designed, I'd have one of these, but I'd want a station wagon version.
@@metricstormtrooperDoes Xiaomi do screwdriver? Then they should sell many if them and a guide on how to restart mounting the Android brakes given with the car after the new owner has bought the box for his new toy !

A matter of fact I’m watching this on Xiaomi note 7 phone running android 12 dual camera octacore processor I bought unlocked from Amazon a few years back and it still beats my Apple iPhone 11 and 12 13 models the screen quality and cameras are superior to Apple 🍏
As someone born in China, I'm well aware of China's leading automotive industry and the fiercely competitive global automotive market. Companies like Xiaomi, despite lacking car manufacturing experience, can produce relatively mature products because they've hired many engineers from Geely and rely on China's well-developed automotive industry. I believe China is weaker in fundamental science but very strong in applied science, a common trait in East Asia. This means that China's home appliance and automotive industries are advanced in terms of completeness, research, and manufacturing, but lack innovation in ideology. Many people emotionally claim that "Made in China" implies poor quality, which is a fundamental misconception. Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors, and Mazda all have R&D centers in China and utilize Chinese teams for development; many mainstream models today involve Chinese teams. A funny thing is, the first generation Cruze had poor quality in the Chinese market, but SAIC Motor Corporation used its R&D resources to launch the 1.5-generation Cruze, drastically improving reliability. However, the 1.5-generation Cruze was not introduced to the Australian market. I don't have evidence linking Holden's closure to the poor reputation of that generation of General Motors, but at least in the Chinese market, GM later overcame the label of poor quality through localized R&D at the Shanghai Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center. I know some people say that products sold on platforms like Temu are of poor quality, but you should also consider how much you pay. Solving problems within a lower budget is a form of democracy. Is IKEA's quality really good? Why isn't IKEA criticized despite sharing the same ideology? Is it because it's a European company that it's automatically superior to Asian companies? I won't even mention how disliked Tmall is in China, but the fact that MG and LDV can't sell in the Chinese market yet are all over Australia shows that Australia's automotive market is less competitive and offers fewer choices compared to China's much more intense competition. We all know that South Korea's advantage over North Korea is its capitalist free market where goods can compete freely, leading to survival of the fittest. If we don't encourage market competition and are unwilling to accept new things to shake things up, aren't we essentially embracing North Korean-style communism deep down? Australia is a resource-based country, while China is an industrial nation. Australia has abundant lithium mines, and in fact, the Australian economy is highly interconnected with China. I immigrated to Australia because I dislike some of the CCP's ideologies, but objectively speaking, apart from some ideological propaganda, China overall resembles more of a capitalist country than Australia. Many people who criticize communist China may not understand China at all. So, should we reflect on whether our lack of independent thinking skills has led us to be brainwashed into criticizing something we don't understand? In terms of the automotive industry, many of China's strong car manufacturers are private enterprises, and their level of government protection is far lower than that of several commercial vehicle manufacturers in Australia. Although emotionally, I may not have hopes for China's development, rationally speaking, if China's manufacturing industry thrives, Australia's economy will also benefit. Many Chinese immigrants have suffered grievances, and it's impossible for us to like an ideology that has harmed us in the past. However, facts are facts. China currently has the most mature automotive market and the most sophisticated automotive industry. The hard work of these engineers deserves recognition. Furthermore, manufacturing is a common human civilization, irrespective of ideology. Labeling based on race and nationality is neither rational nor ethical; it borders on racial discrimination. Living in anger and extremism won't improve our lives, but striving together for more advanced and efficient production processes, ultimately improving the lives of ordinary people, should be a universal human value.
@@VTR1756 I've gone through a ton of user feedback from the Chinese market about this car, and overall, I think it's pretty advanced and robust. I've also checked out some English content on UA-cam regarding this car, and there are criticisms like braking and control issues. I can only say that these criticisms stem from a lack of understanding of some basic rear-wheel drive characteristics and brake specifications, in other words, not having driven anything beyond budget-friendly cars. Of course, I'm aware that some channels aren't really about objectively conveying information; I've seen plenty of that in the Chinese sphere too, where videos can be twisted to serve a negative purpose. From my personal perspective, I'm not a fan of this car; I find it quite unattractive. However, when it comes to the manufacturing process, Xiaomi's factory craftsmanship is actually more advanced than the majority of automotive factories worldwide. So, those who criticize its "poor made quality" are missing the mark entirely; that's the last thing to criticize about this car. If you genuinely believe that the made quality of this car is poor, you either need to reflect on your ability to reason or consider the quality of your information sources. Because I understand Chinese, I'm already aware of many flaws in this car that haven't been mentioned by any UA-camr. However, the build quality of this car is actually quite good. Furthermore, many people tend to doubt the manufacturing quality of major Chinese brands without any basis. In reality, these Chinese companies excel in manufacturing standards, while the areas where they fall short often go unnoticed. I know where Chinese car manufacturers truly fall short, but I don't want to say it. When I see people blindly criticizing durability and manufacturing quality without independent thought, I know they lack critical thinking skills. However, some Australian automotive media outlets do a better job of identifying the actual weaknesses of Chinese cars during their evaluations, which is better than many European media outlets. So, it's interesting that many Australian automotive media outlets mention the real weak points of Chinese cars during evaluations; they just don't categorize these weak points specifically as weaknesses of Chinese cars. Many critics of Chinese cars fail to realize these points of criticism and instead go on a tangent criticizing aspects that are actually quite strong, like manufacturing standards and reliability. This only shows that these individuals don't truly understand cars or have a genuine passion for them; they just want to vent their frustrations. Finally, I'll hint that most of the weaknesses of Chinese car manufacturers nowadays are the same as Hyundai Kia's weaknesses 15 years ago. If you're a true car enthusiast and not just someone looking to criticize for the sake of it, you should be able to guess what I'm referring to. I'll give another hint: Xiaomi has precisely overcome these weaknesses, and that's exactly their selling point.

Great review for doing it in the auto show. As a Chinese who watched combined 6 hours of Xiaomi Su7 events and followed all videos from different reviewers since it's launch 1 month ago. I want to share some more details: 1. The LED in the headlights form a Chinese character for Mi (米). 2. This car has a drag coefficient of 0.195 CD. 3. The two round displays above the centre screen is actually a first party accessories. Same for the buttons below the centre screen. They are attached magnetically and is hold in place by screws. Xiaomi is going to open the API for third party vendors to develop such accessories. 4. The screws looking things in the 2 far ends of the centre console are actually 1/4 inch camera screws, which means you can secure your GoPros or other camera gears. The third one is at the bottom of the centre mirror. 5. The backseat display is actually a Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro. It's been attached to the front seat by a optional mount. Using it you can control the cars climate, changing songs, and even send destinations to the driver. They also offer the mount for iPads with similar software functionality.(There is a joke in China that Xiaomi is the best Apple accessory company)😂 6. They didn't show it in the video, but it has a front boot bigger than a Tesla Model 3. 7. One of the selling point of this car is how heat resistant the roof galss is. Apparently it is very good. 8. It does come with CarPlay in China (May OTA update). But not Android Auto, because you know no Google service in China. But when it goes overseas I am sure it will have it. 9. After 1 month, they delivered 7058 cars. And have non refundable pre order of 88063, which is basically the entire production capacity of Xiaomi's factory. 10. Yes Xiaomi has it's own factory. They use BAIC's sales qualification, they have their own factory. Not BAIC's, not GWM's. 11. In Zhejiang International Circuit, Xiaomi Su7 Max best lap is 1:42.163 with factory pirelli p zero 5, and 1:38.043 with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R. Others cars: Taycan Turbo S 1:44.406, Model S Plaid 1:48:896, Audi RS e-tron GT 1:41:693. 12. Xiaomi Su7 has the V6S motor, and a more powerful V8S motor will be equipped on a new Su7 model at the end of this year, I will leave it to you to image how crazy that would be. 13. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said they will bring Xiaomi cars overseas in 3 years.
@@zeichenplatte Those are not buttons, they are 3 air fresheners in a container. Which you can control and select different ones using the centre screen. This is also a place you can fit in different accessories. Another option is charging dock for Xiaomi Walkie Talkies. And when that's fitted, you can talk by holding a button on your steering wheel.
As a Chinese user, I believe the most influential models should be the LI, NIO, and ZEEKR, rather than BYD, because BYD is a popular model and its prices are not high. The above models represent the Mesozoic generation of Chinese cars, which are of high quality and price. However, I rarely see them in your introduction. The CHERY and HAVAL that you pay attention to are also low-end cars in China, which the general public will not buy and may feel that they are too low-end. I sincerely hope that you can experience the truly good products in China.
This car shows that China is now the leading Car Manufacturer in the World!! Real question is do we need these private cars?/ Surely proper public transport and basics being close to housing is the real sustainable future??
China is now the leading Car Manufacturer in the World??? is something wrong with your head plus this car is not flawless far from it actually ua-cam.com/video/alWRUz_wgNA/v-deo.html
Yes, please bring more competition to the world! Lower EV prices for everyone. Tesla has dominated the EV space and I am happy there are more EV car manufacturers in this industry. Although, I am very curious how this car will drive and function. It is nice to go over the specs but real life application is most important. And, it will show if XiaoMi really has a good product or it's just for show.
The best version of this car would be the highest equipped version. It's really good value for money. A lot of people laugh at Xiaomi and say the su7 looks like a Taycan. i thought the same thing at first, but in reality, when comparing, many EVs have more or less similar front faces due to the focus on reducing wind resistance. Compare the tesla model 3, su7, and taycan and you'll see that they all look more or less similar.
By the time it comes to Australia, the local dealers will jack up the prices to a 100K. You may get the base single motor for just under luxury car tax threshold price.
I would greatly appreciating the democratisation of the Porsche Taycan. If Porsche makes an 86, I would also buy it. But I love this Xiaomi SU7! They've been testing on the Nurburgring so it is exciting to see the kinds of upgrades they will make to this car!
The only complaint I have about this car is the back row space. Xiaomi wanted to make it a performance car so the height is relatively low. I'm 1.8m and my head would almost touch the ceiling when I sit in the back row.
Will you get to drive the SU7? Very interested to see what you think after driving it. And hope you can find out when Xiaomi Su7’s international launch will be.
Those people who badmouth chinese cars in general and EVs in particular have got a huge wakeup call coming, from what i have seen the build quality ant tech of chinese cars is not on par with gm, ford or Stelantis, its better.
About the smell of the car there is a special tool between driver seat and passenger seat that controls the smell in the car . P.S the buttons that control climate and other things can be removed from infotainment screen , it is all one removable peace with lots of buttons that can be reattached as you wish .
Front end looks like a Mclaren 720s, back end has some vague similarity to an Alpine A110 and the active spoiler is something out of a Porsche. Interior is a mix of a Porsche and an SUV (central console). Nice car overall.
It would be a good idea if it were to come to Australia to provide more options for consumers. The Chinese makers will easily meet the NVES with their range of EVs. The question is will other "legacy makers" learn from them or end up buying credits from them.
There are few things i like to bring up, firstly the analog dials and physical buttons are actually detachable accessories that you can purchase. Since there a mainly two groups of people, one who are minimalist (ie tesla car interiors) and wants no physical buttons whats so ever, while there are another group of people who want to keep a bit of physical buttons to press around. Furthermore, to expand on your connectivity point that you've brought up. I'll give an example, if you open lets say wechat, you can drag it across the screen and it will pop right into your car's infotainment system, crazy. Lastly, the screens on the back of the seats again detachable. Which makes a lot of sense, since many people would bring a tablet around at work and what not. The CEO of Xiaomi claims that it will even work with the apple ecosystem.
At $41,500 it should be no more than £39,500 including 20% VAT when it comes to the UK. I guarantee it’s a £50,000+ ($63600+)starting price for the base model in the UK though.
@@metricstormtrooper so? It's still wonky shit. If they are magnetically attached, they still should provide a certain hold. This was flimsy and cheap :)
Even if Xiaomi wanted to it will take a few years. It literally took them just minutes to sell out their entire first year worth of production when the car went on sale recently. Supposedly over 200,000 orders after the first day. Now many of those have cancelled, but mostly because unlike Tesla preorders, the Xiaomi orders become nonrefundable after a week, and it became quickly apparent that if you didn't grab an early preorder slot, the current waiting time is 8 months for the car. Even then Xiaomi has almost 90,000 locked orders from people willing to wait that 8 months.
@@tren133 yeah that’s true. They said that they will need a few years to fulfill the orders in China to begin with, and then after will still need to develop for right hand drive, if they think it’s worth it.
My question is just where did they cut corners? Is it the battery quality? Software? Build quality? Or are the people working in the factory heavily underpaid? A good review should at least use this car for a month before claiming it’s the best car he reviewed so far, just saying
Ev is easy to make thats why. U dont need precision machining u dont have 20000+ patents to avoid. U dont need worry about like engine chipping off fuel pump loaing pressure all that sorts of stuff. U just need a battery and a motor
Other than the seats, I don't like the interior or the controls. Tesla has minimalist controls; the buttons and knobs remind me of 20th century analog controls before "touch screen" technology. The Tesla seats are still very acceptable. Good review 👍🏾
Xiaomi entering the car building scene is the worst news for any competitors. they are known as the spec-maniac in smartphone. for the same price they are dedicated to offer the highest spec hardware. Just this philosophy alone can deal massive pain to other brands
What they haven’t shown you is the smart home integration system. If you have the xiaomi smart home interface set up , you can voice control in your car once you start driving, and voice control the “home arrival” mode, so the heater/air con will be turned on, curtains shut, rice cooker on etc while you are on your way home
Your side chick lost me when he said Taycan is a benchmark. really? I can name at a dozen of cars that beat Taycan in given any scale and most of those being Chinese!
I'm afraid that's impossible. I have already bought it, in China. At present, it has been sold out in China, and it will take 12 months to queue up and sell 80,000 vehicles in one day.

buttons and small screens on top of the central big screen are add-on gadgets, there are hips of optional gadgets for this car.
Great review for doing it in the auto show.
As a Chinese who watched combined 6 hours of Xiaomi Su7 events and followed all videos from different reviewers since it's launch 1 month ago. I want to share some more details:
1. The LED in the headlights form a Chinese character for Mi (米).
2. This car has a drag coefficient of 0.195 CD.
3. The two round displays above the centre screen is actually a first party accessories. Same for the buttons below the centre screen. They are attached magnetically and is hold in place by screws. Xiaomi is going to open the API for third party vendors to develop such accessories.
4. The screws looking things in the 2 far ends of the centre console are actually 1/4 inch camera screws, which means you can secure your GoPros or other camera gears. The third one is at the bottom of the centre mirror.
5. The backseat display is actually a Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro. It's been attached to the front seat by a optional mount. Using it you can control the cars climate, changing songs, and even send destinations to the driver. They also offer the mount for iPads with similar software functionality.(There is a joke in China that Xiaomi is the best Apple accessory company)😂
6. They didn't show it in the video, but it has a front boot bigger than a Tesla Model 3.
7. One of the selling point of this car is how heat resistant the roof galss is. Apparently it is very good.
8. It does come with CarPlay in China (May OTA update). But not Android Auto, because you know no Google service in China. But when it goes overseas I am sure it will have it.
9. After 1 month, they delivered 7058 cars. And have non refundable pre order of 88063, which is basically the entire production capacity of Xiaomi's factory.
10. Yes Xiaomi has it's own factory. They use BAIC's sales qualification, they have their own factory. Not BAIC's, not GWM's.
11. In Zhejiang International Circuit, Xiaomi Su7 Max best lap is 1:42.163 with factory pirelli p zero 5, and 1:38.043 with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R. Others cars: Taycan Turbo S 1:44.406, Model S Plaid 1:48:896, Audi RS e-tron GT 1:41:693.
12. Xiaomi Su7 has the V6S motor, and a more powerful V8S motor will be equipped on a new Su7 model at the end of this year, I will leave it to you to image how crazy that would be.
13. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said they will bring Xiaomi cars overseas in 3 years.
Also AMA you want to know about Xiaomi Su7. I see a lot of misinformation in the west media.
6:21 What are the three buttons below the arm rest for?
@@zeichenplatte Those are not buttons, they are 3 air fresheners in a container. Which you can control and select different ones using the centre screen. This is also a place you can fit in different accessories. Another option is charging dock for Xiaomi Walkie Talkies. And when that's fitted, you can talk by holding a button on your steering wheel.
so what about this ua-cam.com/video/alWRUz_wgNA/v-deo.html
The only thing left for this car to do is drive well, have decent warranty/support and not sell our data too much and this will be a massive success
It's faster than the BMW m4 on a track in Guangzhou, China
❤❤❤ i can't wait to see in Australia
YES, bring it down under
A proposed 100% tarrifs applied in the U.S., so 2x the cost. Too bad, because it'll definitely bring competition to the U.S. auto market.
please come to australia soon
Xiaomi instead of apple means china has the complete supply chain as well as abundant engineers in the EV field.
I want one, please Xiaomi bring it to Australia, PLEASE 😃
This needs to come to the UK 💙
YES
受产能限制2年内到不了英国😂xiaomi一个月把一年的产能都卖光了😢
As a Chinese user, I believe the most influential models should be the LI, NIO, and ZEEKR, rather than BYD, because BYD is a popular model and its prices are not high. The above models represent the Mesozoic generation of Chinese cars, which are of high quality and price. However, I rarely see them in your introduction. The CHERY and HAVAL that you pay attention to are also low-end cars in China, which the general public will not buy and may feel that they are too low-end. I sincerely hope that you can experience the truly good products in China.
I bought this car! It is so good!
This car shows that China is now the leading Car Manufacturer in the World!! Real question is do we need these private cars?/ Surely proper public transport and basics being close to housing is the real sustainable future??
No it's not. Too many rural areas. The real "realistic" and "environmental friendly" future would be cars like the Aptera.
China is now the leading Car Manufacturer in the World??? is something wrong with your head plus this car is not flawless far from it actually ua-cam.com/video/alWRUz_wgNA/v-deo.html
@@manthe3711the aptera is a fever dream of a toy, an electric Can Am with a roof.
Wow, real Porsche/Tesla vibe…loving what I see…great video gents!
Thank you daddy 🙌
Heavy mix of Taycan and Model 3 with McLaren esque headlights
Yes, please bring more competition to the world! Lower EV prices for everyone. Tesla has dominated the EV space and I am happy there are more EV car manufacturers in this industry. Although, I am very curious how this car will drive and function. It is nice to go over the specs but real life application is most important. And, it will show if XiaoMi really has a good product or it's just for show.
Do you have to pay extra for the explodes in flames feature? Or is that standard?
You forgot to mention the fridge and unbrella storages. Also, heaps of the accessories can be added or removed near the front screen.
The best version of this car would be the highest equipped version. It's really good value for money. A lot of people laugh at Xiaomi and say the su7 looks like a Taycan. i thought the same thing at first, but in reality, when comparing, many EVs have more or less similar front faces due to the focus on reducing wind resistance. Compare the tesla model 3, su7, and taycan and you'll see that they all look more or less similar.
This thing drives better than it looks, much better than model 3 performance, and faster than M4.
insane specs
Insane price
For those who don’t know what “Xiao Mi” means in Chinese. It literally translates to “Little Rice”
It's seeds of foxtail millet to be accurate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxtail_millet
By the time it comes to Australia, the local dealers will jack up the prices to a 100K. You may get the base single motor for just under luxury car tax threshold price.
Please bring it to US! People need it!
Biden already raised 100% tariffs on it
I would greatly appreciating the democratisation of the Porsche Taycan. If Porsche makes an 86, I would also buy it.
But I love this Xiaomi SU7! They've been testing on the Nurburgring so it is exciting to see the kinds of upgrades they will make to this car!
How many car you review ? Is this the first car you review ?
That looks so good.
Daddy didn't mention that the physical keyboard beneath the main screen is a clip-on keyboard that you need to purchase separately.
Mate, BMW make you subscribe to use your already installed heated seats 🙃
This thing is a beast for spec!
also didnt mention the bad quality and the 1000 scandals this car already has
@@Tetrathegod scandals?
In fact, 80,000 units were sold in one month, and the waiting time was as long as 6 months.
@@makesirich-ps6zw hope there would be more companies enter this field so that every can wait less months.
I think it should be pretty cheap to buy those accessories in China. Nothing from Xiaomi is particularly expensive
Take my money!!
xiaomi has delivered ten thousand cars in 43 days.
YES
What are the Green/Red/Orange buttons for at 6:21 ?
The only complaint I have about this car is the back row space. Xiaomi wanted to make it a performance car so the height is relatively low. I'm 1.8m and my head would almost touch the ceiling when I sit in the back row.
Will you get to drive the SU7? Very interested to see what you think after driving it. And hope you can find out when Xiaomi Su7’s international launch will be.
Those people who badmouth chinese cars in general and EVs in particular have got a huge wakeup call coming, from what i have seen the build quality ant tech of chinese cars is not on par with gm, ford or Stelantis, its better.
Only came here since Ford CEO said he has one and doesn't want to give it up.
About the smell of the car there is a special tool between driver seat and passenger seat that controls the smell in the car .
P.S the buttons that control climate and other things can be removed from infotainment screen , it is all one removable peace with lots of buttons that can be reattached as you wish .
Front end looks like a Mclaren 720s, back end has some vague similarity to an Alpine A110 and the active spoiler is something out of a Porsche. Interior is a mix of a Porsche and an SUV (central console). Nice car overall.
Yes Australia
This car cost 30k euros in China ! For basic version. If no import tax, and too much margin from dealer, I’ll get one right away.
It would be a good idea if it were to come to Australia to provide more options for consumers. The Chinese makers will easily meet the NVES with their range of EVs. The question is will other "legacy makers" learn from them or end up buying credits from them.
There are few things i like to bring up, firstly the analog dials and physical buttons are actually detachable accessories that you can purchase. Since there a mainly two groups of people, one who are minimalist (ie tesla car interiors) and wants no physical buttons whats so ever, while there are another group of people who want to keep a bit of physical buttons to press around. Furthermore, to expand on your connectivity point that you've brought up. I'll give an example, if you open lets say wechat, you can drag it across the screen and it will pop right into your car's infotainment system, crazy. Lastly, the screens on the back of the seats again detachable. Which makes a lot of sense, since many people would bring a tablet around at work and what not. The CEO of Xiaomi claims that it will even work with the apple ecosystem.
Matt and Jacob. the accessories on the screen are removable/interchangble.
Bring up the competition, better car, lower price. I am all for it.
Hardware looks nice! Not a lot of talk about the software..
Man its so nice. fair price as well
When will this come to the uk
At $41,500 it should be no more than £39,500 including 20% VAT when it comes to the UK.
I guarantee it’s a £50,000+ ($63600+)starting price for the base model in the UK though.
30 k car competing with porche taycan directly🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'll buy SU7 MAX ULTRA TURBO when it comes = 2031HP 1600km Range
I'll get the Poco F1 when it's out in Australia. Hopefully with Global software and playstore.
The buttons and clock are after market accessories, not coming with the car.
When you order Porshe Taycan from temu
Better than taycan in terms of interior
Our Auto industry in the USA failed us. Only Tesla is saving grace..
Unlikely to be released in Australia, their phones still haven't been officially released
AMAZING 🥰
i'm in Canada and i watch CarSauce instead of throttle house🤘
btw on track this thing is faster than any currently selling taycan.
I mean same tire.
Nice looking car for sure.
Bring to the UK 🇬🇧
When he pushed those physical buttons underneath the screen, the whole bar move up and down... I mean it's okay, but does no one see things like this?
The buttons are a magnetically attached option, don't you read.
@@metricstormtrooper so? It's still wonky shit. If they are magnetically attached, they still should provide a certain hold. This was flimsy and cheap :)
Hurry Already ❤
Any plans for a European release? When?
应该是3年以后的事情了，xiaomi一个月卖了他一年的产能😂
Can someone create a petition to bring it here or what 😂😂😊
Even if Xiaomi wanted to it will take a few years. It literally took them just minutes to sell out their entire first year worth of production when the car went on sale recently. Supposedly over 200,000 orders after the first day. Now many of those have cancelled, but mostly because unlike Tesla preorders, the Xiaomi orders become nonrefundable after a week, and it became quickly apparent that if you didn't grab an early preorder slot, the current waiting time is 8 months for the car. Even then Xiaomi has almost 90,000 locked orders from people willing to wait that 8 months.
@@tren133 yeah that’s true. They said that they will need a few years to fulfill the orders in China to begin with, and then after will still need to develop for right hand drive, if they think it’s worth it.
I think someone at Xiaomi has been working at Porsche. Looks like a Taycan tbh.
I think their chief designer used to work for BMW
My question is just where did they cut corners? Is it the battery quality? Software? Build quality? Or are the people working in the factory heavily underpaid? A good review should at least use this car for a month before claiming it’s the best car he reviewed so far, just saying
Ev is easy to make thats why. U dont need precision machining u dont have 20000+ patents to avoid. U dont need worry about like engine chipping off fuel pump loaing pressure all that sorts of stuff. U just need a battery and a motor
@@chrisjuan9249 ahhhhh ok that makes sense
They need to replace with bigger brake pads first
Bigger brake pads don't make for stronger braking, only longer wear, it physics.
Best electric car.
So beautiful car
Other than the seats, I don't like the interior or the controls. Tesla has minimalist controls; the buttons and knobs remind me of 20th century analog controls before "touch screen" technology. The Tesla seats are still very acceptable. Good review 👍🏾
The only problem with Tesla seats is that they are in a Tesla, and it's CEO is shite.
seems good!
Xiaomi entering the car building scene is the worst news for any competitors. they are known as the spec-maniac in smartphone. for the same price they are dedicated to offer the highest spec hardware. Just this philosophy alone can deal massive pain to other brands
What they haven’t shown you is the smart home integration system. If you have the xiaomi smart home interface set up , you can voice control in your car once you start driving, and voice control the “home arrival” mode, so the heater/air con will be turned on, curtains shut, rice cooker on etc while you are on your way home
It came to Bangalore🎉
How can you call it "the best car I've reviewed" since you never drove it or being driven in it?
If Apple makes a car in far-future, with Apple standards and quality assurance, then maybe the legacy automaker will be in real trouble
After 2 yrs..if it is still good..then I will get one.😊😊
Your side chick lost me when he said Taycan is a benchmark. really? I can name at a dozen of cars that beat Taycan in given any scale and most of those being Chinese!
Yes bring it in to Australia. First one to Australia! I am thinking of importing it into Australia on my own
You'll have to...... move the steering wheel to the other side..... on your own
Come to Australia please
I will buy one once its available
Sick car! Incredible they are able to make such a car with (seemingly) high finishing at that price point❤❤
China has advantages in the entire electric vehicle industry chain.
the QC inspection machine (not human) measure everything strictly.
Petition to bring this to usa with no tarrif.
I'm afraid that's impossible. I have already bought it, in China. At present, it has been sold out in China, and it will take 12 months to queue up and sell 80,000 vehicles in one day.
Shut up and take my money!
Yes
Ok,but its Shaomee,not Zhaomee....
It'll be $100k in AUS. Nice car.
If it had apple logo it would be three times the price.
