shoot where's the phone hello how can I help you the airbag exploded is anyone hurt no injuries a recent video footage captured the moment when a popular Automotive blogger conducted a lap speed test of the xiaomi su7 max at the Shanghai Tia circuit on April 8th unfortunately the vehicle lost control and collided with the tire wall the Collision triggered the deployment of both front airbags and resulted in two cracks on the windshield Additionally the vehicle activated its SOS system in response to the emergency this incident marking the xiaomi s7's first Collision on the racetrack immediately sparked discussions about the cause of the accident on April 10th the individual involved who goes by the handle tangu leoa released a video explaining that there were warning signs prior to the Collision he noted a grinding noise when breaking heavily before the final turn indicating breake failure he hoped to navigate the last turn successfully but collided due to the rapid wear of the original brake pads in a separate development on April 9th another Automotive blogger director Shong shared a video recounting ing his own testing of various xiaomi su7 models at the Shanghai Tama circuit on April 8th this video is to warn everyone not to take the xiaomi su7 to the track the reason is that at the test venue where I was testing today I have seen that several xiaomi s7s have had accidents running off the track or hitting the wall one after the other let me explain to you why this happens I also encountered a very serious situation yesterday if you look at these photos you can see that the friction material of the entire brake pad of the max version has completely disintegrated the black powder spread throughout the wheel hub he explained that based on his experience the majority of fuel powerered cars have braking redundancy that can withstand pushing for three Laps on a racetrack most cars might have longer braking distances and softer brake pedals but complete brake failure is uncommon however current electric vehicles lack sufficient braking capability to endure cons itive pushing for two laps on a racetrack essentially brake failure can occur as early as the second lap even with the highest configuration of su7 currently there's no authoritative conclusion regarding this racetrack Collision incident xiaomi officials stated that the xiaomi su7 Max's braking system utilizes Nao friction pads suitable for users daily driving needs balancing braking noise and performance to meet mainstream product demands for public road driving however some pointed out that xiaomi su7 promotions highlighted the car's racing feel and high performance which is why racing enthusiasts want to test it some articles mention that although this racing blogger veered off the track RAC trcks are the optimal venue for testing vehicle performance the track perimeter includes redundant buffer zones and safety barriers compared to public roads race tracks push a car's performance limits it was appropriate to drive within one's capability and within safe premises on April 10th another Collision involving the xiaomi su7 occurred in nantong jangu Province this xiaomi su7 is the top of the range Max version priced at 299,000 unen the front end of the car including the two headlights was scrapped and the hood was also choked up but the strange thing is that the airbag did not deploy this kind of impact is like being rear ended by a large truck or an off-road vehicle with a high chassis this might be the most serious accident among cars however fortunately the a pillar and B pillar were not damaged and the driver was not injured the residual value of the vehicle due to the impact was estimated to be 40% off since its launch on March 28th the xiaomi su7 has been continuously criticized for various issues becoming a recent Hot Topic on Chinese social media the doni platform well known for its Automotive information in China tested the data shared during the xiaomi su7 launched just a day after it hit Market they found differences in nearly every aspect firstly xiaomi claims a range of 810 km but the actual test result was 643 km achieving only 79.4% of the stated range xiaomi automobile's founder and CEO leay Jun previously boasted that the xiaomi su7 is the fastest mass-produced car under 500,000 Yen with a 0 to 100 km acceleration time of 2. 78 seconds and a top speed of 265 kmph surpassing the Porsche tan turbos 2.93 seconds and 260 km per hour however doni found through multiple on-site tests that the sux best acceleration time was only 3.24 seconds additionally in the braking test from 0 to 100 kmph the su7 failed to meet the official data achieving a distance of only adaptive cruise control ACC test the highest speed at which the su7 could pass a stationary obstacle was only 120 kmph lower than the claimed 135 km hour this blogger also criticized xiaomi for misleading advertising practices xiaomi you played the victim some time ago and now you have redefined AE autonomous emergency braking let's look at the press conference your AE score of a stationary fake car is 135 kmph let's look at the small print from the press conference what you said is that your function can provide a maximum speed reduction of 70 km per hour in the end manual intervention is required to stop the car that is according to your score of 135 you could only slow down to 65 and then manually intervene to apply the brakes but when I looked at it I was confused again the small print on your PowerPoint clearly states that the operating speed range of the four-wheel drive version of the a is 5 to 130 kmph why was a final score given in your presentation 135 it had exceeded 130 which is beyond your working speed range let's look at the actual test data provided by Don D in the ACC state that is in a smart driving State your score for stationary fake cars is only 120 the a under human driving conditions must be much less than 12 but why do you always use static fake cars to promote AE because static fake cars are the simplest they can make the numbers look very large such as 110 120 or even 135 as you defined it however according to the test results of various car enthusiasts and car owners your scores for dummies are only about 60 and your score for static fake cars are only about 80 from the above test data it's evident that xia indeed has a serious issue with false advertising some netizens accuse xiaomi of intentionally hiding important information in small print to mislead consumers additionally some ntic pointed out that xiaomi's definition of 0 to 100 km acceleration is different from others while some start measuring from the moment the accelerator is pressed xiaomi Begins Counting when the car starts moving another nison commented some people tested and couldn't stop even at 50 let's see if the actual test results reflect this we're testing the first version of su7 Max this time start with a speed of 50 kmph go oh what's going on this car blogger dismantled a xiaomi su7 to get a glimpse of xiaomi's chassis structure this is a new car with two or 300 km on it but there are already oil stains on the lower Wishbone that shouldn't be the guard panel at the back is made of hard plastic like the front the rear subframe is also made of stamped and welded steel for a car of this level it would be better if it is made of cast aluminum the motor at the back is bare without any sound insulation treatment that's not good the back is very crowded although it also has air suspension its air tank can only be placed in this small corner you can see that this end is already exposed outside of the car body which is a bit dangerous if there is a collision even a minor one regardless of the angle of the impact the gas tank may be damaged and repair costs will be high This blogger's concerns are not unfounded on April 10th a car owner in Hong Joo judan Province shared that his newly purchased xiaomi su7 was rear ended by a Lotus sports car and the air tank fell off Lotus rear ended by xiaomi S7 what fell down what is this some nzen said they did not expect xiaomi to lay eggs after being hit this is obviously a design flaw not only is the position of the gas tank unreasonable but there is also no protective device Porsche's pressure storage gas is placed behind the rear axle which can be effectively protected by the rear anti-collision beam I wonder what xiaomi designers think some people also found that xiaomi's battery guard is very soft and can be easily pressed out with a fist veterans fight for quality while novice is fight for price if you think the price is very cheap it may not mean that you got a bargain it may be that you're a chug neens complained that the front bumper of xiaomi su7 is made of plastic and it collapses when pressed some comment that many cars are made of plastic but this is the first time they have seen such soft plastic on April 10th a car owner in Chang Joo jangu Province picked up a xiaomi su7 Max in the morning but it was towed away in the afternoon because because it could not start it was said that it was taken back to xiaomi's factory in Beijing for repairs there is a problem with the car now I had to force restarted but it still doesn't work after restarting now the car still won't run if you need to be careful when rushing into the starting lineup the license plate hasn't been put on yet and it's already on a tow truck followup information about the incident stated after sales inspections showed that the battery temperature control was broken and the hardware needed to be replaced another owner had a similar problem I just mentioned the xiaomi su7 now the computer says it needs maintenance I've contacted the after sales customer service some nens left a message saying today I saw many bloggers picking up their cars and all of them had this error display in the afternoon it seems that xiaomi cars have this common failure the trunk of this xiaomi su7 could not be closed the owner had no choice but to contact the xiaomi service center this person from Anu posted a video saying that his door switch cannot be controlled my car is obviously unlocked and the main driver's door can be open but the passenger door cannot be open I've encountered it several times then when you're in the driver's seat the passenger door automatically pops open even if no one moves now it needs to be sent to hu for repair I will wait for the after sale service to tow the car tonight the most prominent issue is xiaomi's car infotainment system with the GPS malfunctioning multiple times causing issues with navigation and positioning this car owner complained that xiaomi's carbon fiber borderless rear viiew mirror is practically useless on rainy days requiring manual wiping for visibility xiaomi's faults seem to be varied this car owner encountered difficulty in removing the charging plug when using a Tesla charging pile it's so embarrassing it's been half an hour and I still haven't gotten it off this has happened three times the first time my neighbor helped to remove it the second time it took me many attempts to remove it today I've been trying for half an hour but I still can't remove it shiai explained that after the vehicle started charging the vehicle charger system OBC reported an error three times in a row due to a serious imbalance in the three-phase voltage of the user's Community power grid some people also complained that xiaomi's power grabbing function during charging is too weak this is a xiaomi su7 we just got it is a top-of-the-line Max four-wheel drive version the battery pack is 101° and it is an 800 volt platform I now go to a public charging station to charge this charging station should be 700 volts I originally wanted to test its charging efficiency on a 700 volt charging pile when first charging the speed is quite fast it can reach more than 90 KW and exceeds 100 KW after a few minutes but something unexpected happened after I charged for about 10 minutes an online ride hailing car pulled in across from me it might have been a r I6 and it was was also on the same electric pile then the charging power of the xiaomi su7 suddenly dropped from 90 and 100 it dropped to only 30 KW and it lasted for more than 20 minutes its power grabbing ability is really too weak less than that of a ride hailing car this car owner discovered a bug in the xiaomi Su charging system which only allows charging up to 93% it's uncertain whether this is an occasional issue or an overcharged protection feature interestingly after using the same charging plug to fully charge another car the xang p7 the plug couldn't charge the xiaomi anymore recently some media Outlets disassembled the main control PCB board of the xiaomi su7 max version from the disassembly video it was revealed that the intelligent cockpit ship uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 while the autonomous driving chip uses two Orin X chips from Nvidia many people criticize xiaomi for using qualcom and Nvidia chips however it's worth noting that besides xiaomi the majority of electric vehicles in China currently use similar configurations with Qualcomm chips for intelligent cockpits and Nvidia chips for autonomous driving therefore the Chinese EV industry mirrors that of the PC and mobile phone Industries where core chips still need to be imported from the United States and cannot be domestically produced it's certain that in the future electric vehicles like smartphones and computers May face supply chain risks from companies like Qualcomm and Nvidia once a supply disruption occurs the consequences could be unimaginable furthermore after the delivery of xiaomi su7 some car owners have expressed concerns about high insurance premiums insurance premiums for su7 vary by region the premium for the max version with enhanced Insurance can be as high as nearly 9,500 Yen over 1,300 the standard version's premium is around 6,000 unen over $800 some claim that the insurance premiums for the shiai su7 are comparable to those for gasoline cars priced at around 400 to 500,000 yen xiaomi responded by stating that the commercial insurance terms for electric vehicles differ and are calculated based on various factors in fact electric vehicles in China have a significantly higher claim rate and accident rate compared to gasoline vehicles according to a report from the IT professional portal Jung guanin online industry report suggests that the insurance claim rate for electric vehicles averages close to 85% putting many insurance companies specializing in electric vehicle insurance at risk of operating at a loss among private cars that accident rate for electric vehicles is as high as 30% much higher than the 19% for traditional gasoline vehicles a report from China banking insurance information showed that the average premium for electric vehicles is about 21% higher than that of gasoline vehicles in response to this industry insiders told the media that while the intelligent and autonomous driving features equipped in electric vehicles enhanced Driving Experience the potential losses in case of malfunction are often more severe leading to the high Insurance costs the xiaomi SU 7's outer design has drawn comparisons to the Porsche tan xiaomi CEO lay June even admitted that the appearance resembles the takan and claims that the imitation is paying tribute to Porsche the success of the xiaomi su7 has impacted the Porsche brand priced at over 200,000 Yen the xiaomi car's appearance closely resembles that of the Porsche which costs over a million yen this discomforts Porsche owners facing such an awkward situation a Porsche 4S store announced during a live stream that they are offering a promotion or customers who purchase a takan can receive a xiaomi car as a gift some say this is Porsche capitalizing on xiaomi's popularity while many see it as porous humiliation of the xiaomi brand the implication is clear we are different and xiaomi is just an add-on however the 4S store clarified that the xiaomi car was not actually given away for free rather because the takan currently offers significant discounts of over 200,000 Yen it's equivalent to saving the cost of a xiaomi car the Porsche takan is the pure electric vehicle model currently on sale under the Porsche brand and it's the first mass-produced model with an 800v architecture it was launched as early as 2019 with an official guide price of $898,000 to 1,838 Yen the high price is partly due to the premium of the luxury brand and also because of the higher quality of details and interior materials as well as the numerous cuttingedge Technologies equipped in the car recently Leo co-ceo of motors made Seven remarks on wble regarding xiaomi cars leoa said that xiaomi completed product development within 2 to 3 years which is too hasty it's doubtful how they achieved such efficiency and speed in response Le Jun said that with a reliable R&D team xiaomi was able to avoid many detours in its three years of R&D however industry insiders don't quite agree Jaa Ting the founder of Faraday future criticized xiaomi cars on his personal wayall on April 1st implying that cars are copying imitating and taking shortcuts jatin said values determine the ceiling benchmarking copying and superficial Innovation cannot bring fundamental technological changes and surpassing basic technology some industry insiders also point out that xiaomi's new cars are not particularly outstanding but they sell well mostly due to marketing hype [Music]
