you came to sell your car in this heavy rain couldn't you wait until the rain let up a bit I brought out the biggest umbrella from our company this is another brand new xiaomi su7 four-wheel drive Max version just driven over 10 km since getting the license plate you tell me what are these people thinking they just picked up the car and then rushed to sell it even in pouring rain do you not want to drive it for even a minute I chose the wrong configuration this car is too fast driving it makes me feel nauseous like morning sickness feeling like morning sickness from driving is that even bearable I never would have thought that women can make impulsive purchases when buying cars on the day it was launched the owner picked all the top configurations for this car a four-wheel drive Max version was a 0 to 100 km acceleration in just over 2 seconds but after picking it up today she found she couldn't handle it and felt nauseous while driving so she wants to switch to a lower configuration luckily she impulsively bought a xiaomi su7 if it were any other car it would lose 20% of its value once it left the dealership but she's selling this one right after picking it up nearly 3 months after the xiaomi su7 was launched the company seems to be in a predicament on one hand market sales are declining and on the other hand new owners are starting to sell their cars shortly after picking them up recently quite a few secondhand xiaomi su7 cars have appeared on secondhand card platforms now in the secondhand market for the xiaomi su7 prices are going up by 40 to 50,000 yen today we have a su7 Max version priced at 299,000 Yen we'll take it to the secondhand car market to see how much it can fetch do you want to buy it or not park it over there first the car looks good though what do you think it's worth let me see 2 999,000 Yen I am going to really sell it I don't understand this car this won't do there's someone on the second floor who specializes in electric vehicles let's ask them I see you specialized in new energy Vehicles this is the max version how much are you asking for it what do you think I estimate an additional 5 to 8,000 Yen at most but I'll definitely try to sell it for more if a customer wants it I think adding 20,000 yen might be acceptable let's not talk about customers for now do you want it yourself I don't want it I don't dare to take it you don't dare to take it no I don't dare to not even for an extra Penny take a look can you take this car what's the guide price for this car 299,000 Y at this price it's hard to know the car is 299,000 Yen right now some people want to sell it for the order price and some even want to sell sell it for more you don't want it no no one dares to take it what's going on what's so good about xiaomi cars now it takes 32 weeks to get a new car look at the cars in my shop that's why I came to you if it were me I wouldn't choose xiaomi so those prices of 340 or 350,000 Yen online for secondhand cars are probably just hype for traffic people who really want to spend money would rather buy a new car the xiaomi su7 secondhand cars are in excellent condition with very low mileage meaning they've barely been used their prices are on par with the official guide price with some even priced higher it's not an exaggeration to say that if xiaomi fans are eager to get their hands on a xiaomi su7 buying a nearly new secondhand could be a way to get the car early regarding the sale prices of secondhand xiaomi su7 cars insiders reveal there is some room for negotiation currently the market trend for secondhand xiaomi su7 cars is that dealers will buy them at 5,000 to 10,000 Yen below the new car price under normal conditions the final transaction price depends on the specific color and options of the vehicle whether the mileage exceeds 5,000 km also affects the final price so why are owners selling these new cars before even passing the Breakin period ashin is a worker who has been attracted to the xiaomi su7 since it launch due to its appearance being a xiaomi phone user he gritted his teeth and ordered a standard version of the xiaomi su7 after its release paying the down payment in an additional 5,000 yen for car insurance after getting the car in April he was very happy with it and enjoyed how much attention he got while driving but soon he realized that buying a car was easier than maintaining it was a monthly salary of only 7,000 yen after paying rent in the month installment he barely had enough money for food if he accidentally scratched the car it would not retain its value and the insurance premium will be higher next year after much consideration he decided to sell it atin mentioned that he hadn't driven even 1,000 km and really liked the car but his financial situation made it difficult to afford basic necessities like food he hadn't considered the cost initially and now realized he couldn't keep up with the expenses given the xiaomi su7 popularity and high demand he decided to sell it at the original price to minimize his losses there are probably many car owners like Asin who after impulsively buying the car were brought back to reality these secondhand cars with low mileage are popular was used car dealers because they are in good condition and attract attention buyers also feel that they are getting a good deal by paying several thousand unen less than the new car price making them willing to buy secondhand xiaomi cars in an article published on June 18th a master's graduate from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a freelance investor by the name of changa talks investment stated that the secondhand market for xiaomi su7 has started to heat up revealing issues in China's electric vehicle Market firstly car companies in their pursuit of individuality and technological appeal have neglected the practicality of cars as Transportation tools secondly in a rapidly changing Market consumer demands are becoming increasingly diverse how companies maintain Innovation while meeting basic consumer needs is a question worth pondering he stated that car companies should listen to the market continuously optimize their products and improve services to win consumers trust and support chunga also reminds car buyers to be rational in every purchase decision not to follow Trends blindly or regret impulsive decisions 3 months after the XI su7 launch lch its popularity is gradually waning and market sales are entering a slump period various quality issues with the xiaomi su7 are also being exposed casting a shadow over this new car problems range from peeling paint Frozen navigation inadequate break pad area to system bugs causing breakdowns raising consumer concerns and doubts on June 20th a well-known track blogger keyboard carod sect leader posted a video of an accident involving a XI su7 on the track stating that with a top speed of 214 kmph the xiaomi su7 lost its brakes and swung into a pendulum leading to a track accident the impact against the tire wall saved his life from the video he posted it's evident that the impact was so strong that the driver's seat back rest of the su7 cracked when his friends arrived they noticed his irregular breathing and immediately drove him to the hospital the owner is a professional car block with over a million followers online from his previous videos it is clear that he frequently races on tracks and is not a novice as for why the sheli su7 lost its breaks on the track the Blogger has not disclosed the reason due to the blogger's influence and the sheli s7's popularity the accident Drew widespread attention we punga director of the high performance Automotive Sports department at IM Motors also took notice and said that high-powered electric cars should not be driven like fuel cars so far xiaomi has not responded to the incident another racing blogger tangu also discovered the break failure problem during a track test on April 11th tangu crashed into a wall at the Shanghai Tenma circuit while driving a xiaomi su7 which was also the first crash of a xiaomi su7 nationwide according to Tang duw the accident was caused by worn out break pths that could not break a chat log showed show someone asking tangu what's the matter tangu explained that there was a complete break failure he said that although he stepped on the brake there was no response whatsoever even though the brake pedal felt normal the car wouldn't stop at all brake failure is extremely dangerous in everyday driving if a vehicle's brakes fail and it cannot decelerate not being able to abandon the vehicle in time can lead to catastrophic consequences in the first incident the person couldn't stop the vehicle and it directly rushed out of the track fortunately he had good driving skills and managed to swing the car into a pendulum drift when entering the curve however the steel frame of the seed was deformed and the rear of the car was severely damaged this raises the question why do the brakes of xiaomi cars fail as soon as they hit the track perhaps xiaomi needs to seriously consider where the problem lies since the xiaomi su7 is positioned as a sports sedan both founder Le Jun and several car bloggers have claimed that the xiaomi su7 excels in power and handling performance however following this incident some people have expressed doubts about its actual capabilities suggesting that xiaomi's marketing of its driving performance might have been exaggerated the xiaomi su7 is a high-profile and controversial model several cases of brake system failure and vehicle control issues have been reported even leading to injuries and fatalities on June 7th in hio City a xiaomi su7 collided with two electric bikes resulting in one death and three injuries footage shows a white car suddenly accelerating and crashing into the community gate crossing the non-private vehicle Lane and hitting the greenery on the road before stopping during which it knocked down pedestrians and electric bikes the electric bikes were shattered and pedestrians were knocked to the ground sudden acceleration and collisions causing casualties often lead people to suspect brake failure however xiaomi officially reported that the accident was due to improper operation by the driver recent traffic accidents suggest that the breaking functionality of the su7 may still be untested potentially disappointing xiaomi fans since its launch the su7 has attracted significant attention unmatched by other new cars from deliveries and expensive Insurance to vehicle malfunctions and long waiting times any news related to xiaomi car Sparks heated discussions online how long can the su7 maintain its popularity this is a question we are eager to know given the rapid changes in the Chinese car market it's hard to believe that any model can stay at the top of the sales charts for long xiaomi group is a Chinese tech company known for its value for money and Innovation xiaomi initially started with smartphones but has recently expanded into other fields including home appliances and consumer goods now as a newcomer in in the automotive industry xiaomi's car products have lost their advantages firstly from a value for money perspective the s7's pricing is quite strategic slightly cheaper than the Zer 007 but not much more expensive than the by hun despite its luxurious features such as the super motor v6s and the silicon carbide high voltage system smart chassis control algorithm built-in intelligent coupling braking system xiaomi pilot intelligent driving system and a smart cockpit system based on xiaomi hyper OS these configurations are not enough to justify its starting price of 25,900 yen in the same category the Zer 007 offers better value with more purchase benefits indicating that the xiaomi su7 hasn't achieved the best value for money secondly in terms of innovation the su7 appears somewhat lacking although xiaomi has extensive experience and Technical accumulation in the smartphone field it is still a novice in the automotive industry from body design to intelligent system development the su7 hasn't shown many unique Innovations instead it seems like a copy of other brands in some aspects for instance despite xiaomi's claims of an advanced intelligent driving system the su7 only demonstrated Technologies like valet parking reverse avoidance and U-turn parking during its launch however this was achieved was the support of huawei's computing technology to enable the mapfree NCA autonomous driving function moreover there are compatibility issues with the su7 although it supports Apple carplay AirPlay and iPad connectivity this does not mean its infotainment system is Flawless in practice many users have found these features to be unstable frequently experiencing disconnections or delays this can be a very poor experience for users accustomed to using Apple devices in their cars for a new car brand like xiaomi maintaining brand popularity is vital for the company's survival leay jun's approach for keeping xiaomi's brand popular is often surprising at the 30th Anniversary Symposium of China internet development held in April L first recommended the xiaomi SUV to Internet Security Company chiu 360s founder Joe hongi attracting significant online attention recently a potential second model from xiaomi was leaked sparking High Interest online xiaomi's second car model is positioned as a pure electric SUV and is expected to be launched in the first half of 2025 the xiaomi SUV model has been revealed in leaked photos taken by various media Outlets people jokingly refer to it as the Ferrari of xiaomi or Ferrari based on these two photos some people have pointed out the model xiaomi borrowed from calling it The for me because this SUV looks very similar to the Ferrari Peru in appearance the Ferrari Peru is priced at a whopping 5 million y so many people say that the previous xiaomi su7 nicknamed the Porsche of xiaomi allowed many people to own a knockoff Porsche for just over 200,000 Yen leading to its massive sales notably xiaomi applied for a patent for a suicide door design before the xiaomi su7 was released last year reports emerged that xiaomi auto publicly disclosed its new rear body structure and suicide door vehicle patent since this patent was not used on the xiaomi su7 it is likely to be implemented in future models so is xiaomi planning to let people own a Ferrari for just over 200,000 Yen this time this Ferrari is expected to be highly sought after as only a Ferrari is Out Of Reach for most but with effort a Ferrari might be achievable with the exposure of xiaomi's second car it has sparked heated discussions among users online one person posted a video on social media saying I didn't expect xiaomi's SUV model to be released so quickly although it's a camouflaged test car the laser radar on the roof the star ring tail lights at the rear and the frameless mirrors similar to those on the su7 all reflect xiaomi's Automotive style from the overall exterior design if follows a sporty Fastback dial it really does have a bit of the Ferrari Pearl sunways look the Ferrari for young people is coming interestingly the overall size of the car is similar to the xiaomi su7 suggesting it might be produced on the same platform as the su7 it might not be defined as an SUV but rather as a shooting break version of the su7 this is not impossible no matter what it is certain that xiaomi will release an SUV model the SUV Market is still quite large and this move will not affect the sales of their su7 however the leak of xiaomi's SUV seems suspicious the images are not particularly special making it unclear whether the photos were genuinely leaked or if this is the beginning of a new round of marketing by late Jun or what if they are fan-made mockup images as of now xiaomi Auto has not disclosed any information about the second model essentially xiaomi su7 uses the exterior design of the Porsche tyon to Prov bu consumers with a product experience that exceeds expectations combined with leen's exceptional marketing abilities resulting in the immediate popularity of the su7 upon its release an industry Insider remarked that the success of the su7 could give xiaomi Automotive the financial strength it needs they expressed hope that xiaomi would produce more original models in the future which would positively contribute to the industry the current Chinese electric vehicle Market is highly competitive dominated by Brands like byd Tesla and Le Auto the launch of the xiaomi su7 will introduce a new competition to the new energy vehicle Market challenging other car companies with the hype and anticipation of a second model xiaomi May further consolidate its position in the electrical vehicle Market however it seems L Jun focuses only on generating hype and ignores the product homogeneization issue no matter how popular it gets it could only be a superficial success say a car company without standout products is like a celebrity without works so it might eventually be eliminated by the market [Music]
