Xiaomi SU7 was officially launched today, putting Tesla, and any other EV manufacturer on notice. Made by the Chinese smartphone giant that's a rival to Apple and Samsung, the SU7 undercuts the Tesla Model 3 in price and amassed a whopping 50,000 preorders in 27 minutes. Ten thousand of those preorders came within the first four minutes of the order form opening.
Make no mistake: this is an impressive, affordable beast, even in the midst of a wildly competitive Chinese EV market. And it's an example of a major smartphone and tech company delivering on an idea the Apple Car project never could.
Xiaomi is a Chinese tech giant, akin to Apple. The brand's line of consumer electronics, including phones and tablets has enjoyed brisk sales inside and outside of China. The SU7 is its first foray into car making, and it aims to seamlessly integrate into the rest of Xiaomi's tech ecosystem.
The SU7 used Xiaomi’s self-developed electric motors fed by batteries from either BYD or CATL. All but the base model have an 800V architecture, and most interestingly, the SU7 will be integrated seamlessly into Xiaomi’s existing line of phones, tablets, and connected devices.
Meanwhile, dimwitted Americans sit around whining about how EVs ‘will never be a thing’ (yes, you’ve seen some of them on these boards).
