Xiaomi SU7 Brake Failure Leads to First National Crash, Widespread Data Falsification Revealed

A recent video footage captured the moment when a popular automotive blogger conducted a lap speed test of the Xiaomi SU7 Max at the Shanghai Tianma Circuit on April 8. Unfortunately, the vehicle lost control and collided with the tire wall. The collision triggered the deployment of both front airbags and resulted in two cracks on the windshield. Additionally, the vehicle activated its SOS system in response to the emergency.

It's not all electric vehicles. Just the tofu cars produced in China

I wonder if they used gutter oil instead of brake fluid

[sameerabdullah]

No matter what never buy a first gen product, the su7 will be best to buy after 1 year or a facelift

Xiaomi has done well for their first car, hopefully they will learn from their mistakes and solve the cars issues. It's not easy to build a car well in first go.Also kudos to the chinese people for calling out xiaomi. Companies that don't do ethical and honest business don't last long term.

I’m surprised the airbags even deployed properly

[hellfire]

Cheap items often result in poor quality. Why do people continue to believe that a modern-looking Chinese car, especially one made by a mobile company, is a genuinely affordable supercar?

Xiaomi has always deliver amazing product. We can't expect perfection from the first generation

The 23 Tesla Plaid made crashed on the Track due to excessive brake fade. Most cars taken to a Track experience brake fade, but are fine for normal or even aggressive driving on the road. Not defending the Chinese, but be fair.

They think creating a car just as simple as creating a phone lmao.

At least the wall was there and nobody except the wall got hurt. The tires and wall's family have been send messages in support.

Wow ❤!

The latest generation Toyota Prius has won the 2024 World Car Design of the Year award. Meanwhile, Xiaomi SU7 won the Award for Best Copy of Porsche Taycan...

the blogger already clarified the reason of the break fail - worn out from multiple heats. He felt its worn out right before this corner but didn't stop. He clarified in his recent video, the car itself is totally fine.

7:41 So Xiaomi's definition of 0kph involves the car moving....This might also explain the breaking problem.

[FTributo]

The domestic market thinks its on-par with the Taycan, just because it looks exactly like the Taycan.
But at 13:41, there is a misunderstanding- Anytime there are multiple loads on a three phase grid, the available current will be divided between the loads. To "grab more power" would mean allowing the batteries to charge faster, which isn't great for the batteries because it creates too much heat for their longevity. To criticise any car for its "power grabbing" ability is just obtuse and unscientific.

Does nobody here have any idea about how cars work? This is just a brake pad failure, which is pretty normal for stock cars being taken to the track and driven hard. In fact it’s the #1 thing that everyone recommends upgrading before you take your car to the track (even on my miata which is a sports car). This exact thing would happen with 95% of normal cars out there.

[yujin]

From the cost perspective, xiaomi su7 only uses a standard quality break pad, understandable for cars in the price range of 200k to 300k RMB (about 30k USD), the problem is that it has too much power (0-100km in less than 3s) for the break to handle. Its not that other cars are better quality, its because they are too slow for the same price! If xiaomi raise the price to put a better quality break pad only for the 0.01% drivers, who do drives in extreme conditions on tracks, that would be kind of stupid.

i swear nokia 3310 has MUCH stronger chasis than this ev. what a shame

[flashfuture]

Just because it looks like a Porsche doesn't mean its a

[furTron]

643km range?!?? Holy crap. That’s an amazing result!

Напомню, что такое бывало и с крупными брендами. Porsche 911 gt3 загорался на трекере. Их отозвали, исправили и отдали владельцам. Я уверен xiaomi исправится недочёты и мы ещё удивился их качеству. Пока меня уже удивляет разгон и запас хода. А как она прошла лосиный тест, это просто чудо. Её вместительный красивый салон, огромный багажник, хочется верить, что всё станет лучше. Дайте время, она вас ещё удивит.
