On March 13th, there's some insight into the production speed of the upcoming Xiaomi car SU7, set to be officially unveiled on the 28th. The Jilin-1 satellite has provided some observations for reference.
The satellite spotted Xiaomi's Beijing Yizhuang car factory, where it's evident that the number of parked vehicles in the adjacent parking lot has been steadily increasing over the past ten days or so.
A rough estimate suggests that during the period from February 29th to March 9th alone, there were around seven to eight hundred additional cars near the Xiaomi factory. With the launch date drawing near, this number is only expected to rise.
Currently, the area around Xiaomi's Beijing Yizhuang car factory is teeming with numerous automotive plants, including BAIC and Mercedes-Benz, among others.
Regarding the upcoming SU7, Lei Jun is also feeling a considerable amount of pressure. He expressed today, "There's been quite a bit of public opinion turbulence in the car industry recently, and I'd like to take this opportunity to call for everyone to come together to foster a more positive and inclusive market discourse. As for the SU7, it is truly a labor of love for us. If you all think it's good, we'd really appreciate your support and encouragement. If there's anything you feel we could improve, please do let us know. We're definitely open to feedback and committed to making improvements. Just, please, go easy on us."
Moreover, Lei Jun previously committed, "We're going all in to make sure Xiaomi cars are a success and meet the nation's expectations. We're dedicated to getting it right."
