On April 22nd, the topic "Huawei Smart Selection S7 outplays Xiaomi SU7" trended on social media, drawing significant attention and sparking discussions among netizens.
According to reports, there's speculation that purchasing any Huawei Smart Selection S7 model will allow customers to offset the non-refundable $5000 deposit for the Xiaomi SU7 directly from the car price upon completing the payment. When interviewed, staff at Huawei Smart Selection stores confirmed this.
Following this revelation, some criticized Huawei for encroaching on Xiaomi's territory, deeming it unethical, with some even resorting to personal attacks. Conversely, others argued that such tactics are standard in business and not worthy of condemnation.
An automotive blogger analyzed the situation and suggested that it's actually a triple-win scenario. They remarked that the framing of the topic is inappropriate and seemingly malicious, as the term "outplays" implies forceful transactions.
For consumers who've placed a deposit on the Xiaomi SU7 but face extended wait times, naturally, some may opt out of waiting indefinitely. However, $5000 isn't an insignificant sum. Now, Huawei Smart Selection is willing to compensate for this loss, which is undoubtedly beneficial for consumers eager to receive their vehicles promptly.
For Huawei Smart Selection, it's also advantageous – attracting customers, boosting sales, and enhancing brand visibility.
As for Xiaomi, it's an unexpected windfall: gaining $5000 without providing any product. It's like finding money falling from the sky. Moreover, those swayed by the offer aren't likely staunch Xiaomi fans; true fans would endure any wait.
Do you agree with the blogger's viewpoint, and how do you perceive Huawei Smart Selection's approach?
