Xiaomi EVs Criticized for Poor Quality, Using Aluminum Instead of Copper, 40% Cancellation Rate
On March 28th, Chinese technology company Xiaomi announced the launch of their first electric vehicle, the SU7. The standard retail price is less than 220,000 yuan, equivalent to roughly 31 thousand US dollars, undercutting market expectations and signalling an intent to compete with Tesla. However, many people have observed striking resemblances between the SU7 and the Porsche Taycan, not just in appearance but also in the design of the car key and the key battery replacement. Some internet users jokingly suggested renaming the SU7 as "Bao Shi mi," which means Porche Mi, a combined name for Porche and Xiaomi.

Never a truer statement made.
In the United States, in the 1960s and 1970s aluminum was used in home wiring for cheapness' sake. Later there were a lot of problem with oxidation and loosening of connectors due to significant expansion/contraction. Afterward, the US went back to copper wire. Using aluminum wire indicates that the manufacturer does not intent the vehicle to last a long time.

There's a small middle-class. 84% of Chinese are in poverty. China's poverty line is $182 USD a year. There's only 150 million Chinese who earn 3,000-5,000 yuan a month. This group of 150 million is the one wasting all their money on this constant crap. Also that woman is likely very wealthy. She was able to withdraw 30,000 yuan in a single day. The vast majority of Chinese can't withdraw 1,000 yuan a day. They have the money but can't take it out. The banks are only allowing the rich to make large transactions.

Aluminum wire is not used for good reasons, but running hot is not one of them! The narrator also stated that the lower conductivity is made up for by increasing the cross section area. The heating issues is not because the wires are aluminum, but because they substituted a lower gauge to save money, which they would have done with copper as well. The main issue with Al wiring is because _mixing_ different metals causes reactions. In a home, the various fittings are generally made for copper, and the rare Al house has to insert special adapters. Now guess what's another thing they can cheap out on? The final issue is with how many times the wire can be flexed before it cracks. Note that all the distribution cables you have overhead on towers and underground, from the powerplant to the residential substation, is all made of aluminum.

From Tesla: Aluminum wire is cheaper than copper, but the wires must be thicker to carry the same amount of current. In addition, every type of attachment (breakers, outlets, etc.) must be specifically rated for use with aluminum wire (and many are not). Lastly, care must be taken to apply the correct anti-oxidizing paste. If aluminum wiring is not properly installed, over time it can cause dangerous overheating resulting in fires! For this reason, we strongly recommend the use of copper wires for EV charging to avoid the risk of improper installation. The Tesla Wall Connector is rated only for copper wire. Doesn’t sound like they are fond of Aluminum wire, even for the home charging system.

It’s cheap for a reason. The Chinese copy almost everything from the design perspective only. However, when it comes to engineering, craftsmanship, build quality, and more, they suck. They try to make their cars as cheap as possible. Always remember that you get what you pay for. Major automakers price their EVs higher but they produce acceptable level of quality. I don’t get it why don’t the Chinese build something of good quality and go head-to-head with the major automakers. The Chinese really love to do it cheap and affordable.

Sounds real "green" huh?? 😆 This sad idiotic EV fad will be gone in a couple years. Dealerships all over have announced they will not take any EV's on trade-in cause no one wants them.

They claim to be selling at a loss, but they're selling trash? How much of a loss could it have been if they skimp on the materials and only use low quality stuff that breaks within a year? The reason luxury cars are that expensive is because they use high quality material that doesn't break easily, or is extremely light (or both if carbon fiber)... You can get some pretty decent cars for 30k USD (new) and most of them you will be able to use for over 10 years because they're not made out of trash.

Oh, the damn information gap has led many to believe that Xiaomi cars appeared out of nowhere. I think this is due to a lack of understanding of the information from China. Xiaomi's car factory is operated by BAIC (Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co.), and the project was initiated several years ago. BAIC Group serves as a contract manufacturer for many automotive brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, and Foton. As for the technology of Xiaomi cars, Xiaomi has poached a large number of talents from Geely Automobile Research Institute, including the head of the institute. Speaking of Geely Automobile Group, I think some people might be familiar with it. This company owns Volvo, Lynk & Co, Geely, and smart, and even now holds substantial shares in Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz. I hope that a random video on a KZread channel should not sway the judgment of an intellectually capable person. Let me repeat the specs of the Xiaomi SU7: Length (mm): 4997 Width (mm): 1963 Height (mm): 1455 Wheelbase (mm): 3000 CLTC pure electric range (km): 700 Official 0-100 km/h acceleration (s): 2.78 Price: 299,900 RMB, approximately 41,200 USD
This is one of the main problems with China. Everybody wants to get their hands in the sectors that were hot like Real Estate and EVs. Why Xiaomi and Evergrande decided to get involve in the EVs? There are already so many players (originally more than 400 companies in EVs). Just stick to what you are good at and manage your business well.
they are better at creating cruel and unusual cat snuffing videos than any their own tech
Instead making honest quality cars, they build sub quality and rush to deliver. Not smart.
I think that Porshe CEO must be laughing out so loud 😅
You preorder, you lose. But tbh, aluminium wiring is very popular in EVs. It's lighter and cheaper. BMW i3 uses alu wires in the battery, in interconnectors between modules. Besides, every battery has cells connected with aluminium tabs. It does NOT generate more heat because thicker gauge is used to compensate for higher resistance.
Who the F eager to buy ANYTHING from the 1st batch?? Do you want to work as free QA??
Happens to everyone, specially to someone who made EVERYTHING for the 1st time … full support to Xiaomi
silver is heavier than aluminium, as well as 24x more expensive, by weight. they won't ever use silver
That one girl complaining about the payment plan after dumping all that money into the car is definitely the 1%.

Benz started making cars in 1885. They have been perfecting them ever since. My previous one did 240.000km. Once a year to the dealer for scheduled maintenance. Once there was an issue with the water pump. They didn't charge anything for the repair. We got a phone call from the dealer afterward to explain and apologise, "That should not have happened." Then it was rather sadly rear-ended. Too expensive to repair. so we took the money the insurance paid for it and bought a new car. Guess which brand. If people are so stupid to buy a car from a company that was making rather crappy cell-phones and decided somewhere last week "we're gonna make cars".... In my country there is a saying: if you burn your a**, you have to sit on the blisters.
we are not rich enough to buy cheap under spec products. how can a Tech giant simply copy and paste Porsche Taycan and interior graphics of Tesla? Chinese customers are very much brand oriented and they stick to their choice of proper cars when they can afford them. Porsche, BMW, Tesla etc..
They do not use aluminum wires in a car's wiring harness. Suicide with 4 wheels .

Most U.S. homes have aluminum wire for the main runs, such as the street feed to the Main Breaker and from there to any Subpanels (usually 100 A USE-2). It is mandatory to use anti-corrosion grease at the connectors, but that is recommended for copper wire too. 1960's homes which used aluminum wire for the outlets (15 or 20 A) apparently didn't use grease, so suffered corrosion at connectors which gave high resistance heating and sometimes caused fires. So, no problem using aluminum wire for the high current runs in EV's, if designed correctly.
What is it with the Chinese, anything nice and shiny seems to hypnotise them. 😅😅
Never be the first to buy something from a new manufacturer. It's one thing when Apple decided to produce phones. Very similar to iPod / laptops. But, a phone company producing cars? Even the iPhones had major issues (not Apple's fault). Worked in downtown SF in a modern relatively low floor building and our phones didn't work in the building. It was comical.

While i think that they may very well fix those issues, undercutting the competition by incurring losses does not 'convey seriousness'. Quite the opposite. In conveys desperation. But the same goes for almost all legacy car companies as well.
