Xiaomi EVs Criticized for Poor Quality, Using Aluminum Instead of Copper, 40% Cancellation Rate

[@vzzzb2vzzzb124]

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.

[@云起-p4m]

Guess what tesla use? aluminum wire? or copper wire?

[@quickcinema8031]

I think aluminum is not the problem. You should isolate it well and use the right wire thickness accordingly.

[@NoahGooder]

it could also be a method of accidental forced obsolescence so the user needs to buy a new car sooner.

[@chiriematthieu]

Because in the 60s alluminium was still new tech for civilian market. But guess what, alluminium is quite comment nowdays in cars buildings and plant. Copper price have rose and we know how to produce better alluiminium cable. Most EV like tesla use alluminium wire. Alluminium has much better electrical property than copper.

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.

lol!!! aluminum wire was tried in factory built homes here in the US. It was discovered that the aluminum wire, while the lighter Then copper wire. was so much more brittle, particularly where the connections were made and the aluminum wire cut. to make the conductions, that the wiring was deemed too big of a fire hazard to be used. in these units.. Keep in mind that the units left the factory., were transported down the freeway, and ended their journey at the final site where they were installed. to be permanent homes. If that jostling down the freeway. a bit was enough to cause problems with the aluminum connections., Can you imagine? the kind of difficulties that those aluminum connections are going to have. with the car that's being driven down a highway every day Nova potholes. et cetera..xiaomi Should offer three versions of this car? 1. parked in the garage and never used., 2. special flame paint job 3.

[@marcolam1167]

Do you know tesla also use aluminum wire? it's common in EV industry

[@CunningtonR]

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.

aluminum wiring for power distribution is used all the time in residential, commercial and industrial settings. the only thing its not used for is general purpose 15 and 20 amp power and lighting circuits.

[@JohnDlugosz]

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.

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..

[@Lvvcassss]

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.

Xiaomi made a joke about Apple giving up on making a car.... it turns out that Su7 buyers can only drive 39km more than Apple car buyers 😂.

[@SMJ-l6r]

I wonder how many people in this channel are excited to believe that one batch of cars by one of hundreds of car makers in China having issues at the moment can represent all the cars this company and all Chinese companies will ever make. If anyone was actually worried about low quality Chinese cars then no tariffs would be needed. Countless car brands have had issues that required crazy amounts of recalls. Do you see people saying this means “all German/japanese cars have faulty breaks” because of that? Only when speaking about China do you actually attempt to easily accept this kind of bad logic. Even the way the information is presented makes it seem like it doesn’t know or care about the car industry at all and just wants to get some of that congressional anti China money.

China and quality is an oxymoron

[@zacksmith5644]

[@jpcisneros21]

I believe it’s a mistake to underestimate the ability of Chinese manufacturers to learn from the mistakes of older models. China has the people, industry, and resources to innovate and improve constantly. Moreover, there are several Chinese EV models that have received excellent reviews. In the West, we may have become complacent and underestimated this competition.

[@Josh-b3c]

Honestly that's kind of amazing that they found such a crappy material I don't know of any other material on earth that disintegrates or wears away that fast like did they make the seats out of butter And how do you even have more leaks than there are places that hold fluid that don't even make sense there's probably only oil in the front and rear gear boxes how is oil coming out of the tires and in other places at the same time there shouldn't even be that much fluid in there

[@vueport99]

Exactly! This is an EV! There shouldn't be that much fluid to begin with!

[@Ullion404]

Maybe it's not for lubrication, but a cooling-fluid or its for fire extinguisher purpose, heard chinese EVs are likely to overheat or to combust externally. I think it would be a very clever way to include a fire extinguisher in the car. Maybe you can make them a micro transaction for when the car is burning. For only 30000¥ you can purchase a immediate fireout feature. Do you like to buy now?

[@jimprice9703]

They obviously blew the main feedline for the blinker fluid at all four clusters front and rear. Such shoddy workmanship should be criminal. Oh... wait... it's China. Never mind.

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.

[@jblue2413]

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 KZbin 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

Xiaomi is very good at fulfilling the demand of typical Chinese consumers, vanity at affordable prices. Even though they know that all Xiaomi products are basically disposable cheap toys, but for a moment they feel like a millionaire, something they know that they can no longer be, so they don't mind risking their lives to have a moment of cheap thrill and glory. They buy a toy which is assembled by a company that copy other copiers' manufacturing process with the cheapest materials from the most low cost 3rd party vendors. Xiaomi is really taking the concept of intellectual property appropriation to a new level! That by itself should be considered as the 5th great discovery of modern China.

[@abc2390986]

So true. And to think owning smart phone and car will make their people feel like becoming millionaires is just beyond pathetic. Phones and cars are just basic living tools for people in free world and yet they somehow becomes luxuries in China because people are really THAT poor.

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.
