This car is what I'm most looking forward to in 2024. For a company with no experience In manufacturing, marketing cars Or the whole supply chains, What will its first vehicle look like? Will it be like this? The news is out there My SU7 had an accident. So basically, what happened was Our photographer who had just finished work Was driving SU7 back to the studio And got hit by an oncoming car while making a left turn at the intersection. It was a pretty bad hit. But fortunately, no one was injured in the accident. So please drive safely! When the accident happened I was still in Beijing on business Other people at the studio rushed there immediately To help him out. As you can see, these gadgets are quite sturdy. None of it fell off. The biggest surprise was the tablet. It was simply attached to the seat But it didn't fall either. According to the driver Right after the crash Xiaomi's SOS call came in. And they also checked on me To see if I'm okay. Then they send over a tow truck To tow the car to an auto repair shop. Staff there created a group chat for communication. I have to say Xiaomi's emergency response Is pretty good. I've tested it out for you guys. It definitely works. Even when being repaired My car was still on. How did I know that? Because the APP told me it closed windows for me Because it was raining. I guess that won't be necessary. We later visited the shop. It was pretty bad, especially on the side. But there was plenty safe space inside. Also, it's amazing how The right rear window still functions. All airbags on the right popped out. There is another airbag In the middle. It protects people from bumping into each other. Most of the car's Electric drive systems are intact. See, the right rear view mirror And the left door still function normally. That means half of the car survived. The air suspension is looking good. Camera are working as usual. And this frame that's meant to protect the battery Is it made of vibranium? Actually, before the accident This video was almost ready. But it would be a while before I got my car back from the shop. About SU7 If there's anything you'd like to know Leave a comment down below. I'll try my best to answer them. Before I picked up the car, I was curious about Who were buying SU7. So, I sent people to the exhibition hall And interviewed a bunch of people there. Wow, you guys came here to see Xiaomi on Land Rover? Because I wanna catch up with the trend~ Are you buying it? Just having a look first I haven't bought a car yet. I'm okay with EVs, But if I'm to change, I think I'll go for Electric SUV. This is not very family-friendly, Unless you buy a second one. I'm buying it for my wife. I'm not caring too much about back seat space. What car do you drive? Mercedes. I'm not into Model3. Are you a fan of Xiaomi? No, I'm not. But I do like this car. What phone do you use, iPhone? Yes, I use iPhone. But I still like this car. What color did you choose? I think I'll probably go with black. What car are you driving right now? Xpeng P7. Do you plan to change it? Nah. Contrary to our interviews, SU7 sold 88898 in less than 24h. And it was pretty crazy when we drove back after picking SU7 up. 001 owner wanted to talk to us. Truck driver gave us a thumb-up. People were staring at us. Pulling over for coffee People would stop and ask how much it cost. Feel like I'm in Inception or something. But to be fair This is Xiaomi's first car. Of course there are all sorts of small problems. Like the dashcam has black edges. It needs further optimizations. But despite the flaws There are many ideas and designs of SU7 That deserve to be learned by other companies. What I love most about Xiaomi is that They never try things They aren't 100% sure about. In this video, we'll focus on smart accessories ecosystem and connectivity among phone, car, and home. I bought all these accessories For $369. And I bought several tablets. I now own way too many Xiaomi products. Let's take a look at the appearance first. I can say This is the best looking EV car at about $30k. Despite SU7 being the latest EV model Compared to its counterparts It's holding back a lot. No screens on the front. And as an EV car It hood is significantly longer Than other cars. And there are altogether 9 color options. Which color do you think looks best? And for me I don't support copying from others. For a brand Independent thinking and design language is essential. You can't say that's a bad look, can you? Mine is the Max version. Which is actually the most cost-effective Among different versions. They all have varied appearance and ecosystems. For SU7 At $29,999 You get this a car like this With full ecosystem and Xiaomi's car computer. But it doesn't have HUD 800 volts, and seat massage. Model 3 doesn't have that either. The so-called founders edition Is just the first batch that were pre-made. There's a sign here. Carbon fiber rearview mirror. And on the steering wheel A serial number. Another sign beside the passenger seat. But I've got a complaint. It's got a pretty spacious frunk. So why not learn from Porsche Whose frunk pops up with a simple slide. Isn't that a more convenient way To open it? And in terms of the interior I guess you've seen it all. I like this style . In a word It's definitely more of a minimalistic style With just one screen. Xiao Ai. Yes, I'm here. What's the character that's made of three "mu." It could be "森" or "晶." Let me show you What all these buttons are for. The 4 buttons on the console are for adjusting AC temperature and volume Spoiler wing And air suspension. These are very practical. Better than Avatr, 4 of its 6 buttons are for windows. The overall logic behind the design is Trying its best to avoid any Possible mistakes. The screen can't rotate. There is no zero gravity mode. No screen in the back. Not a single touch button. Even the reading light is a physical button. How can cars that use touch buttons for turning signals Compete with this? And the designer must have tested it out themselves. There's storage in the middle An empty space underneath With hooks. The passenger seat has slots for phones uUmbrella And a few water bottles. But there are also some flaws Because Xiaomi's new to the game The car's full of spots that You can't easily see and have to be felt by hands. And the hooks hiding down here Make it really hard to find. USB-C port is also hidden underneath the screen You can only plug it in without seeing it. Besides, the computer has problems as well. For example, though the driver's seat has setting memory There is no button to switch back to the memorized setting. I have to adjust my seat first Then click restore. There are no passenger seat adjustment in the computer. If you want to adjust it You can only do it via Xiao Ai. I'm here Move the passenger seat back about 20%. The see-through chassis Has to be manually switched on Every time you use it. But I have to say Though it seems to have many issues These are trivial ones. The overall experience is good. Things on the screen are big and close Easy to operate. The windows are giant With high degree of customization. And Xiaomi paid attention to details Unlike other car companies. Such as in driving preference There's a radar chart. Every time you adjust the options In customization mode The radar map will change accordingly. So even if you're not familiar with the terms Based on this chart You can choose a mode that is more suitable for you. There's a mode for new drivers. With this mode on Even if you press the pedal all the way down This is as fast as it could get. Perfect for those who just got their driver's license. As for the issues mentioned earlier It won't be a trouble For Xiaomi to fix them. But of course We have something else to focus on and that is the ecosystem. I spent a lot of money on these accessories. To be fair Although it seems expensive That's a pretty cheap price for cars. In contrast, a NOMI Mate would cost me $679. The physical button goes on here The dual dial goes on top The wireless phone charger here Ambiance lights on the side And the second phone stand goes here Xiaomi tablet here We also have smart aromatherapy. Done. Do you guys think it looks good? Let's talk about them one by one. The physical button is highly recommended. It's really nice. Firm and sturdy. It doesn't make any weird sounds. It even feels better than the original ones. It's kind of like Porsche. And there are a lot of buttons That go up and down. I only have one complaint. The buttons here Are basically all for adjusting AC. Can I have some customizable ones? I just want one-click open 360. The rear stand Holds on to the seat perfectly. And as one of Apple's best accessory factories It also supports control with iPad. But there's a problem It's quite difficult to put together. And in order to achieve modular design The tablet needs a case Which alone is 400 grams. But it comes with a stand So you can use it To watch videos like this. However, the three dots here only charge the tablet and automatically open software. That's crazy. I just found out As long as you install Xiaomi's app for cars See This is a Huawei tablet It's connected just the same. That's what ecosystem means. I'm so impressed By this! And in the tablet, you can check out the route Play music or videos. The navigation map in the back is thoughtful Because it shows the overall picture. I suggest If your friend happens to have an iPad Pro 11 Or Xiaomi Tablet 12.4 Just ask them to buy the stand And put it in your car! The rest accessories like phone stand, atmosphere light Or the stand with screws Are not really recommended. This fragrance is different Which doesn't come out from the AC But only heated on the console. So the fragrance isn't very even. And the phone stand Is not electric. But why? I mean Xiaomi has its own Electric stand. Also, the location Really blocks the view And is constantly scorched under the sun With no AC cooling it down. Plus iPhone isn't good at heat dissipation This is what happens after a while. warning warning The ambiance light, it looks pretty good with automatic brightness It's also voice activated. It changes as we talk lower or louder. But there's no way to adjust the sensitivity. So why is it not linked to the music from the computer. As for the screw phone holder Because it was installed by the window It could interfere with the air bag. So it's better not to have it. And in comparison with All the hard decoration on the steering wheel This might potentially be more harmful. So all in all I think these accessories are samples that Xiaomi gave to third-party manufacturers. On the one hand, it tells to-be car owners There's a lot you can expect. On the other hand It ensures the manufactures that Its claim to create CarIoT is not a joke. Xiaomi's leading role in smart home ecosystem Is almost like Apple's APP Store. I'm really excited about other accessories. Then let's talk about car-phone connectivity. The first time I got in the car A window pops up on my phone Asking if I want to connect to the car. Since than, it automatically connects every time. The rest is easy Like projecting Bilibili onto the car screen. Slide up and drag it here And then click SU7 See, it's projected here. What if You use it on a daily basis? You can add it to the desktop Like this. It's almost like a widget Showing up on your desktop. Theoretically Every time you get in the car It's gonna pop out automatically. Moreover If the driver leaves the car No one else can open this So that no one can prob into your privacy. Ah yes If you want to navigate to a place Just open Amap and search on your phone Start the navigation and you're good to go. 39 kilometers And there's more. Have you ever thought about If there's many Xiaomi products in the car Will it call out all the Xiao Ai? So, Xiaomi made sure that as long as you're in the car Only your car computer will respond. Other Xiao Ai will be silenced. Of course You need to keep the option on. Besides, If your friend gets in the car with a Xiaomi phone Through NFC It will connect to the Wifi And in the control center, you'll see Car controls, seats, AC, and music. There are not many Nio phones But plenty of Xiaomi phones out there. Based on that Xiaomi integrated smart home ecosystem into it. The car controls your house appliances. Xiaomi products in the car can also be controlled by the APP. In customization There are several options to choose for the car. But at present The ecosystem isn't working that well. Like Let me ask Xiao Ai on the phone Where's my car? No data found Click in and check. All you can do now is check the battery level. And turn on AC. The customization options in the APP are very limited There's no way actually customize Your control for the car. Everything is still premature. And Xiaomi didn't have task center That many other car brands have. It would work wonders with Xiaomi's ecosystem. In my opinion Xiaomi doesn't need to redo anything Or surprise us. All it needs to do is work on the ecosystem Let the car be a real part of that system Add task center to it And put efforts into the CarIoT. I wish to push a button at home And the car will ventilate itself Turn on the air conditioner. Or if I push a button in my car My water heater at home will be ready. Such experience are better than Any shortcut buttons. How do you think of it? Xiaomi is right about the things it did. Its multi-device connectivity is already at the top of the car industry. But it's still not up to my expectations Look at Meizu and Huawei They started phone-car connectivity in advance And did a great job. We expect much more from Xiaomi. Much more to be seen from smart home ecosystem. Of course, this is Xiaomi's first car. I'm sure they won't stop here. After a few days of experience I noticed that Xiaomi stays the same good at integrating other's strengths. If coupled with Xiaomi's OTA It's possible SU7's computer could be the best and the smartest among all these car brands. And as a car I can tell you The driving experience is awesome Much better than 001 Of course The cost is the quality and comfort of the chassis which are lagging behind 001 I think Xiaomi successfully attracted a lot of people who had never paid attention to EV. I even saw it in a group chat Some people get their driver's license because of SU7 It also did what others failed to do. Taking up market share from Model 3 Of course Compared to Model 3 or even Model 3P SU7 is obviously better. With the launch of SU7 Sales of other China-made EV cars went up. That's Xiaomi contribution to China's green energy development OK so that's the end of this video If you found this video interesting Remember to give me a like and subscribe This is very important to me I'm Cherry See you next time Bye As you can see Here's a brand new Mi SU7 Just a little scratch on the side Nothing serious Contact me if you want it (not for real)
