Tesla Model 3 vs Xiaomi SU7: Shockingly Strong EV Competition!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2024
- The third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, China based Xiaomi, just unveiled the production version of their all new SU7 electric car and it not only offers more range, but it also starts around $4,000 less than the base Model 3. In this video I compare the SU7 to the Tesla Model 3 to determine which EV is really better.

Su7 looks better in all aspects to me
Apple should be absolutely embarrassed!!! How many years have they been working on an EV? And now the 3rd largest cell phone manufacturer beat them to it.
Low margin product isn't in Apple DNA. It is either autonomy or nothing. But autonomy has proven to be very challenging.
@@nguyep4even for Xiaomi, autonomy / software is the game. Hence contract manufacturing for metal bits.
Tesla has forged the path, basically solved autonomy.
How hard will it be to copy, in China, in a software org?
SU7 is still 5 years behind Tesla - which is ready with generation III / robotaxi / unboxed, 48v, control by wire.
Plus Chinese can be very patriotic too.
@@iandavies4853 Xiaomi will lose a lot of money on each EV sold. And its EV SU7 is almost a direct copy of Porsche Taycan. Nothing original. Probably can never sell elsewhere because it will be sued.
These cars keep crashing
Apple officially ended their car program a few months ago and most of the staff was sent to work on AI.
I find the exterior design of the SU7 much much better than Tesla's M3... I find it's a perfect compromise. The same about interior. I hate the extrême minimalism of Tesla's... Having an ioniq5, I could easily move to the SU7 if range is above 500 miles / 750 km WLTC. Currently I manage to have about 300 miles with the ioniq5. Don't get me wrong : the ioniq5 is FANTASTIC. I agree with your analysis that FSD gives Tesla its biggest advantage. FSD will become the "de facto" selling feature in the coming years. It is close to deliver all its promises. I give Tesla 5 additional years before everyone wants FSD. I am a future SU7 buyer for sure if it delivers its specs.
In the next five years the Chinese will catch-up to the FSD or better it than that Tesla offers . Wait and watch.
Nice review, thanks. I learnt a few things, eg that the base SU7 has LFP battery, and slightly better charging efficiency than the Model 3. I prefer Tesla’s minimalist interior, but prefer SU7’s external shape. My main hesitation with a Chinese EVs is their software, but I feel confident Xiaomi will eventually catch up to Tesla. I wish SU7 were lighter, and so as efficient as the Model 3 in energy consumption.
Hope one day you can drive the SU7 and let us know how you find it. But I suspect Xiaomi won’t be selling in the US market anytime soon.
To bad didn't mention the 5 crashes in 3 days of test drives
Geezus. With the way things are going my first EV might actually be a Chinese car.
Hi. great video, thanks. I own a Highland model 3 LR for 5 months (I'm in France). Just a remark: As I know, the battery pack is a 79kwh pack, not a 81,4 kWh pack (from LG Chem)
Let BYD come to the US. We want better cars with more competitive pricing.
Canada doesn’t have a steenkeeng TRUMP TARIFF (all caps + lots of !!!!!!!!!! )
It looks different when you sit in it.
That price point defies logic. They will need exponential volume to make that sustainable. When you look at inflation in China, this looks to be insanity. Quality control and build quality is pretty based amongst "established" brands as attested by non state media. That's going to be their first hurdle. I think their marketing and finance departments will be throwing themselves on their collective swords.
The car looks great, going to be interesting once we test drive it, another good show 😅
In Asia, there is no wide spread Tesla charging stations. So for now the sporty design SU7 is more of an eye catcher for me. Also FSD is not offered and heavily tested in Southeast Asia(SEA), so that is no bearing for either system. Having the 800Km range helps especially if you don't have a well establish charging infrastructure (SEA). They know the market base here and will probably try to focus on capturing only this market. They will not offer this is the USA.
Design of Xiaomi SU7 is visibly stylish. I would say - female💅 or kitty-like😻 due to soft curvatures of the chassis, slick body, sexy head lamps etc. Sublime paint colors. Good quality interior - like German premium cars, unlike Tesla.
Deep integration between car system and Xiaomi apps and electronic devices.
This beauty is also very quick, so she seems destined for success. She likely become a worthy competitor for Tesla - or rather for Porsche.
If We are to replace the entire fleet with electric vehicles we will need as many options of we can get
In my opinion, SU7 is suit for young people as the look is sporty like Porsche and its speed like Lamborghini. Model 3 is suit for mature people.
Model 3 suits Musk fanboys.
SU7 is bigger than a Model Y - or a
Mercedes’ E- Class. Love ❤ it!
I go through a lot of youtube video about xiaomi SU7, yours are the most objective. I notice that the most of US people doesn't have a reliable way to know things beyond US or they just doesn't care about the truth. Xiaomi SU7 is so popular in China, it will go beyond your expectation if you can have a chance to drive it yourself. Unfortunately, xiaomi SU7 will not come to US like other xiaomi productions at least in the near future. Given a little bit more time, xiaomi su7 will show itself at Nürburgring.
4:36 I think all of that extra length is in the hood...look how crazy long it is, almost like there's an ICE engine underneath. Does it have a massive frunk? Or are they just really bad at packaging and needed all of that space to hide the cars guts?
One is a long established EV manufacturer - the other is offering a theoretically impressive car, that will be difficult to make a profit on, especially if they contract manufacture it. Just look at what is currently happening to Fisker!
China is home to many Bankrupt ZOMBIE factories.
they make very Cheap cars for Southeast Asia.
Xiaomi is an absolutely gigantic company though, they won’t have a problem with burning money, as they basically own a whole state
Cleanerwatt - Xiaomi is no Competitor of TESLA in China.
TESLA outsold BYD in pure BEV full year 2023. #1 Globally & China.
Unfortunately that is likely to change this year.
It is completely stupid to compare a newcomer with an EV maker that has 12 years of advantage in building BEVs
@@francisdebriey3609 - Xiaomi will end up just like FISKER.
@@markplott4820 maybe, maybe not. Legacy car makers said the same when Tesla started, and they've been totally wrong.
@@francisdebriey3609 - Xiaomi is the next FISKER.
How can you make a vid comparison if you haven't test or watch vid of the SU7 and assume tesla is better ??
How expensive are nVidia chips right now? Is that supplier sustainable for Xiaomi if they want to make millions of these cars?
Last year, Tesla paid $2Billion for 10,000 A100s. Presumably, H100s cost more.
How safe is it? Has any independent testing body tested it?
You really think companies still use the "add more metal" technique to improve safety?
This will be designed using sophisticated computer simulation.
@@rogerstarkey5390 It's always good to double check the simulation by sending the vehicle into a concrete barrier.
model 3 Nm/deg stiffness is around 34.000. Xiaomi su7 is 55.000 Nm/deg stiffness. By these numbers, you should already know who is safer
@@tonypaca3015 Are you saying the SU7 is too stiff to be safe? It will stop too quickly and injure the passengers because it doesn't cushion the impact.
@@wineberryred high Nm/deg maintain Passenger Compartment Integrity: In a severe collision, a stiffer chassis helps maintain the integrity of the passenger compartment. A stiffer chassis can help these zones absorb impact energy more efficiently, directing it away from the passenger compartment. It also helps with improved Braking Performance, Improved Handling, Sharper Steering Response, Enhanced Ride Quality, Reduced Noise, Vibration, and Harshness. Xiaomi su7 is way superior to Tesla Model 3 in the inside hardware. The 5 million dollar car koenigsegg agera rs has Nm/deg of 65.000, xiaomi su7 55.000, tesla model s 40.000 and model 3 about 35.000 Nm/deg stifness.
The BYD Seal was supposed to be competition for Tesla but one reviewer recently said that it made him physically sick with just an hour's drive as the suspension was so wallowy. I doubt that you'll consider the SU7 true competition after driving it.
“wallows” is fixable
This car will be Xiai’s last. A LiDAR costs
more than a car..,
@@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck Until it is fixed the car can't be competion.
FSD supervised
Your explanation is very fair, so I give your video a thumbs up.
Talking about the SU7 just in terms of aesthetics, the front is more like a McLaren and the side is more like a Porsche Taycan. But it must be said that it combines the two very well. It is a very beautiful car and I like the side of it very much. The paint is also great.
As for the interior, I personally like the simple design very much. However, the interior of Model 3 is a bit "overly simple" and should be called simple. There are also a lot of anti-human designs that are difficult for a considerable number of drivers to accept. The SU7 retains a large number of physical buttons inside, which is very good. In addition, SU7's multi-platform ecological interaction between people, cars and homes is great.
Tesla is undoubtedly the number one in terms of autonomous driving assistance. Assume that Tesla scores 100 points and Xiaomi scores at least 80+ (this is my personal unconfirmed guess). Even today, when driving assistance is relatively mature, this system is only an assistance. I don't know why anyone would 100% trust their life safety to a computer. A computer can crash a thousand times, but a person only lives once. I prefer driving a car by myself rather than sitting in a moving iron box, playing with my phone and sleeping. I am not an opponent of autonomous driving, I am just looking forward to experiencing complete fully autonomous driving in 2026 and 2027.
In terms of driving experience, I believe the gap between them will be very close.
If a manufacturer is willing to let people enjoy 80% of the performance experience of the Porsche Taycan at 1/4 or 1/5 the price, then it deserves respect. He gives ordinary people more choices and experiences.
My friend, sorry for the rant, but you should present the differences without omitting your opinion. Base your comments on evidence and do not successively influence people. Personally, I like the Tesla design, however it lacks some important quick access items, such as the emergency button, opening the trunk at the front and back, as well as the glove compartment. Constantly seeing your speed while looking at the center panel is not safe. In my opinion, Tesla only needs to remove the 60Kwh battery from the SR and install the one from the LR (+/-$1000) to make a difference, add quick buttons, and a display in front of the steering wheel. This will all cost about $100 and I had the perfect car.
Nothing reaches its full potential until all cars “talk to each other.“ Once that is regulated into the industry, much like seatbelts are, we will be short of the ultimate destiny of self driving, etc.
The more FSD cars on the road the safer the road will become because Human error will be taken out. We are in the early stages of FSD. All cars will eventually have FSD. Even if the Human wants to Drive, FSD will intervene when the human is about to make a mistake.
SU 7 looks great, specs too. It will all be about reliability and profitability
There is no probability. They will loose money big time. That’s their strategy. They don’t deny it
@@Frenchy78180 for now, sure. Everyone is in the beginning. But you can’t be losing money FOREVER. Just look at Rivian soon. Of course, they don’t have the PRC behind them, but the communist party doesn’t have infinite money either, especially now
There is no doubt Tesla! you are not only buy point A to point B comfort, you buy everything surrounding a car, popularity, security, reliability, future potential and etc. lets compare them 10 years later.
I looked for a new smartphone and there were some amazing and cheap smartphones from Xiaomi, since I don't know the brand I looked on the internet for problems with the brand and it was alarming, not just smartphone but their entire product portfolio had serious problems with reliability and basic functions, I chose a brand that I was familiar with.
I have been using xaiomi phones for 10 years probably had 15 or more, I would never buy another brand,
@@robbieb827415 phones in 10 years? Are you sure they were working alright? I have a cheap xiaomi phone, have had it for 3 years and it’s working fine, although, I don’t use it much
@@robbieb8274
Typing on a Mi 10t Lite 5g.
3.5 years, no issues.
.
Battery gets a bit warm sometimes but as I run my 5g internet hotspot through the phone it's crunching *a lot* of data.... It gets a raincheck.
I'm toying with getting a replacement.... Battery(!)
But the condition apps say it's fine....
.
I came from a "standalone" fibre internet contract.
Changing to an all in 5g SIM only deal to cover all my WiFi literally paid for this phone in under 5 months.
.
Even if it failed I could replace it with similar (I think the processor is even still current!) And that would easily come from my savings.
One of the best bargains I've ever bought.
Xiaomi built its own factory for electric vehicles from scratch rather than subcontracting BAIC. They signed a contract in late 2021 to establish a facility in Yizhuang, Beijing that includes its EV division headquarters, R&D operations, and the factory itself. This factory is designed to have a total production capacity of 300,000 vehicles per year once fully operational. Tesla was also unprofitable for many years; even now if you remove EV incentives from their profits, they only make like 1 billion USD, and the vast majority of that is coming from Shanghai.
To me I like the Xiaomi Su7 in terms of looks, features, performance and it is cheaper.
I think the SU7 has a better looh exterior, but undertand if someone prefers the model 3. On the other hand, the SU7 interior is much nicer than the one from the model 3. No comparison here.
Without traction control, it's shocked early buyers by being one of the most dangerous lemons ever introduced. It is no Volkswagen ID3 competitor.. let alone that of a Tesla Model 3.
Teslas are desperately needing a HUD. It is a matter of safety that you shouldn’t have to look at the screen in the middle, even the closest corner
Yes it's dangerous to constantly fiddle with on screen buttons while driving.
@@coldspring22 I’m not talking about buttons, the most important controls are on the steering wheel and you can use voice control for most other things. But to see your speed or navigation. It should be as it is on S and X even on a cheaper car, or a HUD would be even better.
Cleanerwatt - multiple papers Disprove the Xiaomi su7 as a Competitor to TESLA model 3.
BAIC is owned by the Chinese government, so unlike contracting with Magna for production, who has to make profits, BAIC does NOT need to make a profit, the government can use them to provide help to their favored companies.
Car business is not only an excel sheet good for Eng but not for the whole population.
But in this comparison we see clearly two weak points of Tesla that I hope they are fixing soon.
1- Range. These type of cars should be in the 800-900km range that 500-600km range to be massively adopted
2- Battery pack voltage. 800V is half charging current giving more room for safe charging speed.
Typical Xiaomi fashion,copy past with equal specs but bigger battery to undercut. Looking on smartphones software was always meeh,so I not expect any different here. They selling this car with huge loss. Tesla can easy improve specs too if they wanted,I doubt they limited on something.
"Smartphone software "meh" ... "?
.
Typing this on a Xiaomi smartphone bought in December 2020 that's not missed a beat..... Zero issues.
(Can you say the same for Apple?)
Is it really competition, because it doesn’t make a profit and there isn’t a path for it to get there.
The SU7 is clearly better and cheaper by quite a big margin. The only advantage model 3 has is FSD which cost like 8k more lol
Partner with NIO will come BATTERY SWAP.
That is a failed concept, will be bankrupting Nio. SU7 is charging fast enough, only better charging infrastructure is needed
Most beautiful EV
I dont think the range is right for the model base model 3 you said the range was 600 kilometers thats about 340 miles thats long range.
In my opinion, you are presenting and comparing a current Tesla vehicle with future Xiaomi vehicle. All such offerings are typically coming later, while Tesla cars are already available and in sufficient quantities. At the time Xiaomi is able to manufacture this car profitably, Tesla will be beyond the horizon already.
Not necessarily, they do use gigacasting and modern battery chemistry/architecture from CATL.
Hundreds of xiaomi su7 already delivered since April 3rd, 2024, the new xiaomi factory is as advanced as tesla in Shanghai. Tesla is indeed facing tough competition in China.
How is the crash worthiness of the SU7 ?? Xiaomi might cut corners if not tested by an independent institution.
I'm risk averse. I know what I am getting with the M3. I still don't understand how they will ever make a profit. I'm not going to buy a car and have them go bankrupt a few years later. Also, it can take years to fine tune the ride quality and software. I would wait until they have have several years of experience under their belt
They have already made billions in increased share price, more than paid for development.
Well go out and buy one but I would recommend seat belts helmets and life insurance . Maybe do a little more research
How much of that is legit tho? After all this Tesla fire, safety etc stuff I can't any of this seriously lol. Is it actually a concern and why has it been happening?
suspension problems leading to out of control cars crashing. see electric viking
@@lachlanB323 well I know this is a stretch for you have you looked at safety scores on tesla's???? LOL facts are not important in your life
@@stilllearning7434Referencing the Electric Viking?! Not a very balanced or credible source. Nice guy and I appreciate his passion but it is very poor reporting rife with unproven heavily biased monologue. Take what is reported there with a "grain of salt". 😊
@@stilllearning7434 that guy is not reliable news source, although i rate him higher than china observer. he quick to report without confirmation.
it's not competition, both will be sold easily, as much as they produce will be sold, all EVs are the very impending and dangerous competition to the ICE industry
Tesla no longer has a Full Self Driving Beta, they have Supervised Full Self Driving now.
which means nothing. Still long ways from SAE level 5 "full self driving" Musk promised 10 years ago. Let me know when Tesla will indemnify any accidents caused by "full self driving". NEVER!
Su7
Tesla remains wholly dominant with Cybertruck looking further to cement that as far as pure play BEV anyways. Really is remarkable how Tesla had the entire ecosystem to itself for nearly a decade and Tesla spent *MASSIVELY* in that time in China, Europe, North America and who knows where next ... besides Texas. Competition with the Tesla Model Y most definitely being realized from first off Rivian but now GM and Ford. Still yet again Tesla remains wholly dominant specifically with Model Y so while Model 3 sales very much matter not nearly as material as was true when the Tesla Model 3 was first introduced. Model S and Model X still very much material to Tesla tho as will Cybertruck be. Tesla off to a very strong start to 2024 as well. Not really a fan of Cybertruck but expect demand to be as fast as can be made...which appears to be pretty darn fast at the moment. Big opening for Ford, Rivian and GM created by some surprising unforced errors in Cybertruck tho given tremendous delays up until now. Tesla Roadster 3.0 is next up which might be able to put the stake in the heart of range anxiety that one for sure. That no other pure play sports car in the offing by anyone other than Tesla is quite strange actually...so yet another win for Tesla en route for that one as well. Legacy Sedan near all total Japanese badges excepting Hyundai-Kia definitely under severe strain at the moment absolutely...but clearly beat out all pure play BEV at the moment big time still. If an after market for the Tesla Model 3 starts to grow however that could very much change big time. Long $hmc Honda Motor Corporation strong buy.
Three
xiaomi product amazing with low price 120000 car sold in 36 h
As long as Apple has a car factory partner in China, Apple car will come true earlier than mi su7.
All wheel drive betters than su 7 rear wheel
For how many years Tesla lost money for each sold car? Obviously Xiaomi will loose bit on its first car.
Other than the minor detail that the car handles like greased pig and early buyers can't seem to stop crashing it. Congratulations, you've just reinvented the 1965 Shelby AC Cobra.
OTA update to stability & traction control software …
How hard can it be?
It was literally only one isolated incident of crashing. This car go from 0 to 60 in 2.78 seconds, some people are just not used to that fast
oh, other than the tiny brain you have, you are just rebirths of long pigs from 10000 b.c., lmao
oh, other than the non existent tofu dregs heads you have, you are just rebirths of piggers from 10,000 b.c., lmao
oh, other than the non existent tofu dregs h33ds you have, you are just rebirths of peags from 10,000 b.c., lmao
i d prefer xiaomi
These are falling apart or crashing at insanely high rates
how biased can you get? lmao
You did not mention how much of a knock-off of the model 3, something only China can get away with.
They all copy. Tesla looks like a Porsche, or Mazda. It gets the job done.
Only the cybertruck breaks new ground.
It’s much more of a Taycan copy than any Tesla.
Xiami Su7 looks much more expensive than the Tesla model 3 refresh. The body design is way more advanced. IMHO
Cleanerwatt - its no Comparison.
the TESLA model 3 has Class leading SAFETY & build Quality in China.
the Xiaomi SU7 is not even as safe as the Tesla model 3.
Why? because newbie cant handle its top model and loose control? They have more physical button already safer than tesla.
model 3 Nm/deg stiffness is around 34.000. Xiaomi su7 is 55.000 Nm/deg stiffness. By these numbers, you should already know who is safer
DO NOT bet against Xiaomi.
.
Does anyone here have actual experience of their products?
.
Only ask because I'm typing this on a Xiaomi phone I bought for a bargain price over 3 years ago that still works perfectly.
.
Tesla doesn't need to worry.
.
Everyone else?
Needs to get their act together.
You should watch China Insider's episode on the Xiaomi SU7.
Trust me you want the tesla. haha it's not even a competetion.
I would far rather have the Tesla model 3. Tesla is a proven brand.
Proven as in Musk hypes and fake promises? Where is a million robo-taxis by 2020 as promised by Musk? Appreciating Tesla car value? How about your Tesla earning $30K/year as robo-taxi? All fake All Tesla cars suffer from very poor depreciation, super expensive repair costs and frequently totalled in minor collision.
Cheaper just as good....SU7
Lmao, the Xiaomi is the permanently crashing version of the model 3
Cleanerwatt - Xiaomi cant even outsell BYD or GW in china.
their sales already impressive for first timer.
This is my worst kind of review, one real the other never seen. Why bother until you can drive and test both? This is a waste of everyone's time.
This guy is just a tesla fanboy.... or he just doesn't know anything about design..or he is just an old grandpa at heart..
Xiaomi is sus
Chinese crap, if you think it is amazing, buy a life insurance ag get behind the wheel. Tesla often imitated, never duplicated.
Chinese crap? That's at best a political statement. Lots of very high quality products emanate from China. When I grew up "made in Japan" was a joke. However the reputation now is one of superb quality. China is making the same transition. If Chinese cars entered the US market it would spell the end of the US auto industry. Equal or better quality at pricing that is better value. The US should erect import barriers or China will finish what Japan started in the 70's. It would be RIP for the legacy automakers.
The best quality Tesla vehicles come from......?
@@sunrisejak2709
What happens if the US "erects import barriers"?
.
Well, for a start, about 70-80% of goods will become more expensive.
Next time you're in a store selling "non-food" items, pick 10 items at random and check the country of origin.
.
That'll be instant inflation.....
.
Next, ask who wins if China says "screw you" and "takes their ball home"?
.
Battery materials?
Gone.
About 60% of components for ICE cars? Gone.
Not to mention the brainpower coming from China, which generally is of a higher standard.
(Average IQ in China is [as I recall] ±22 places higher than the US on the Global index)
.
They'll just concentrate on the 70+% of the market that *isn't* the US and leave... The US in a contracting market selling outdated technology.... For higher prices.
.
The US tried to Capitalise over China over the last 2 decades, but China won.
@@rogerstarkey5390China. Faults or defects recognized at handover is substantially less in the Teslas out of Shanghai. Freemont and Texas Tesla facilities while they've significantly improved are still statistically behind China. It's closer today though. I took delivery of my Tesla model 3 in Thailand (Shanghai product). Zero defects. No panel gap issues. No paint issues. No squeaks or rattles. Nothing. Basically it's free of any issues. 30,000 km now and zero issues to report. Elon Musk himself is impressed with China Tesla workers and product and transferred Tom Zhu from Shanghai to Texas to being the same level of quality production to their US operations.
Cleanerwatt - the Xiaomi su7 is a very CRAPPY built car by BAIC in China .
Xiaomi only has the Smartphone integration, it does not have any AI computer hardware , nor do they have any FSD software.
Fake model 3 so I won't buy. Does it have FSD. ?????????
It's Taycan sized for less money.
So let me get this straight you are comparing the multi year production car to a company with no track record, which isn’t here and you haven’t driven…
My time is too valuable to waste it on what appears to be a sad attempt to produce content
Good bye
I know you bought Nikola and Fisker stock too.
Tesla model 3 interior is the most boring interior they ever done in a car. How can you say is better 🤔 tesla obviously paying you some money
