Jim Farley, ceo of Ford was talking to Robert Lleweillin of "Fully charged show" the other day.He said that he has been driving a Xiaomi SUV 7 for 6 months and it is so good that he does not want to give it away. Everybody was so surprised by his honesty. What a humble gentleman!

[@alhkcblack9617]

​@@ap0lmc he said he has a skunk works dept dedicated to making cars beat the Chinese ones but that's not really the point. Its not that hard to make a crazy good car. The challenge and this is the big one is if Ford can make a car as good as the Chinese ones that are just as cheap without skimping and be profitable. The Chinese not only have cheaper labor and non union workers they've also got the complete supply chain to get all the parts and the absolute cheapest prices and a huge domestic car market at home.

This is very impressive for a car company that was established in 2021 and produced their first vehicle in 2024. Western OEMs like Lucid talk and talk, while Chinese companies quietly deliver cars and break records without making much of a fuss. This shows that China can engineer sophisticated vehicles, not just make cheaper vehicles due to scale economies. Many western observers are underestimating the EV innovation going on China, from battery chemistry to chassis development, efficient manufacturing, software and production engineering. Ignore at your peril!

In fact at last night's launch Xiaomi's Lei Jun spent quite a bit of time describing the differences between prototypes and production vehicles Same motor, same battery, basically the same chassis structure. If the weather had been better or if there had been enough time left, the test would have been even better The SU7 ULTRA prototype differs from the IDR and EP9 in that the technology from both is not used in the production model.

[@bobsmith3983]

The track was damp and the test was done in German October temperatures. With a dry track and Summer temperatures the lap time would have been considerably better.

[@thehuonpine]

Basically, the most complex part of a car is the ICE engine in a car. Using just battery and motors to power a car, it makes it much easier to make a good handling car as the placement the battery in the middle of the car solve the fundamental problem of the 50:50 weight distribution and hence improve handling and stabilty. This setup has exposed the German and Japanese which they now have no more advantage in making a good handling and powerful car!

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

Funny thing is that in the recommendations I also get video's from people who have issues with Xiaomi's quality. Personally, I don't think we should have much need of supercars, but having a few electric ones absolutely demolish the fossils in performance would be a good thing.

To be exact, Xiaomi is a highly sophisticated and very experienced integrator. The standards of many of its products are world-class, and there are numerous world-class suppliers behind it providing solutions. The reason why the United States doesn't ban Xiaomi is precisely that there are many Western capital companies behind it. However, the reason for banning Huawei is that many of Huawei's technologies are self-developed, which might break the Western technological monopoly.

[@protagonist9716]

[@toriwatson9655]

Anyone who wants exhilarating driving performance and value for money has to forget about primitive combustion technology. The super expensive ICE sportscars also have super expensive maintenance costs ,eg the Bugatti Veyron needs a $25,000 oil and fluid change every year, a Koenigsegg like in the video has a $10,000 yearly service cost, a lot more if something is wrong. I suppose billionaires will keep wasting money on them, but it makes no sense to me.

[@Boris_Chang]

The big question is: if you take it in to have it serviced. Will it need service again two hours later?

[@toriwatson9655]

Not only is it so much cheaper than an equivalent ICE supercar, but maintenance will be a fraction of what an ICE sportscar will need and reliability will be way better. Buy a Bugatti Veyron and remember you need to fork out $25,000 a year for an oil and fluid change. A Koenigsegg like in the video has a $10,000 a year service cost, a lot more if something is wrong. So the answer is no.

The biggest reason EV's accelerate so much better than a gas car, is that they can apply the inverse of ABS braking, called TORQUE VECTORING, it can break traction and re establish traction 2000 times a second.. that's why when you own a high horsepower ev, you've got lots of rubber on the panels in the back, yet you never hear the tires breaking loose.... THEY ARE.... BUT 2000 TIMES A SECOND.

[@dvader3263]

EVs also provide maximum torque starting from 0 RPM and up. ICE vehicles and transmissions usually need to be above a couple thousand RPM to start providing max torque.

[@Buran01]

While impressive, IS NOT APPLES TO APPLES: The Xiaomi SU7 ULtra tested in Nurburgring as a non road legal prototype with slick tires, carbon body panels (including a bonnet aero foil) and with rear seats removed. The road legal version won't have those changes, and while probably will beat th 7' mark it won't score the same times. This prototype sits behing the Porsche 918 Evo, the VW ID R, the Lotus Evija X, the 911 GT2 RS MR, the McLaren P1 XP1 LM and the Nio EP9. Also, the Bentley Continental GT actually has larger brakes (420 mm front). Now, the good thing is that this is a supercar made by a 3 year old car company which will be sold in the Ultra trim for less than 100000 € in Europe and already beats the Tesla Roadster (the YangWang U9 also already beats the Tesla Roadster).

[@dadahan-qf5mg]

Don't compare 0-60 with 0-100 within the same time range , this is on totally different level. Do you think 100 degree Celsius steam is relatively same to 100 degree Celsius boiling water?

[@RAREFORMDESIGNS]

@@dadahan-qf5mg It's only 2 mph difference.

[@sebsta7990]

It has 93.7kWh battery capacity, not 150kWh. Actually, you showed the picture seconds later, where it shows the official numbers 😂😂😂

[@jcfallows]

All this power in a road car is a dead end! What we need in the real world is cars costing less than £10k with all the safety features! That will have a range of 250 to 300 real miles. Then we will have a mass revolution towards EV adoption. Of course we have cars at this price now, they are called pre-owned! But looking at the pace of the latest tech things can only get better for the consumer and a lot worse for ice car manufacturers. Only the names of past great car companies will survive. Maybe some will be reborn with new owners like MG. Perhaps the skilled workers will get new jobs building robots? You know this is coming right?

[@Aggie4life77]

Quick correction. That is a Hyper car without hyper car prices!

[@tyronechao2092]

well, as long as EVs cost $45K-$50K a pop, ICE car will still be around in North America.

[@pctong5387]

Nice car

[@LifeWorthLivin]

I heard Jim Farley is driving it. Does he have the SU7 in USA or another country?

[@kamsunleong6648]

He got it shipped directly from China. Loves driving it so much, wouldn't want to stop. Coming from an auto giant CEO, it's a huge compliment. Xiaomi rocks !

[@imjustabadpenny]

But you can't buy one in Australia, or a Zeekr 001. Why keep pushing these vehicles mate?

[@thiagoribeiro021]

how many laps will the battery last at that speed? maybe 3 laps lmao

[@markuc]

150kw/hr battery... A bit more than 3 laps mate

[@thiagoribeiro021]

@@markuc 3,5 laps lol

It's going to be a race, who will make the fastest EV supercar!

[@BillMitchell-lm8dg]

As owners will quickly find out: These high performance EVs are Tire Munchers!

[@mattyb1624]

Impossible to do 50/50 weight balance for ICE??? BMW have done it 30-40 years with their cars. Man, this channel is full of BS

Sam, it sounds as though your forecasts for GM and Stellantis are being played out, if today's news is correct.

[@635574]

No I dont think the race special is going on sale like this.

[@peterrathod]

Ford CEO has joined the chat.

[@miraphycs7377]

Why idiots thinking that Xiaomi SU7 is impressive and that every SU7 can do fast times around the nurburgring? They are as different from the production car as NASCAR Camry is from the normal Camry. That is like NASCAR Camry doing a lap around the track and be impressed thinking that normal Camry can do that. Absolutely silly

[@famousraperandrapperkriswu656]

Are you the genius who first noticed the difference between the prototype and the production model?

[@miraphycs7377]

no but these morons think racing version is the same as production model

[@robertwang7825]

Second hand German cars are toast , why wld anyone buy a Boxster if you can buy a SU7 for a lower price Rmb200k v Rmb250k.

[@fryske.tynster]

sounds like someone wants a free trip to xiaomi.. it is not the nr 1 yet on the n ring they dint had best cond or setup and avoided the curbs so could it be yes or it wil be very close

[@famousraperandrapperkriswu656]

he SU7 ULTRA prototype differs from the IDR and EP9 in that the technology from both is not used in the production model.

[@drizza6489]

Such an addictive brand.

[@kevendog8246]

"Catch me if you can", and this completely destroys ... everything. Even if the performance of the production models are 10% less, the EV7 will crush 'supercar' sales. Tesla hasn't even spec'd the new Roadster, but this EV will probably change Tesla's ambition/agenda to build that platform. While 'structural-battery-packs' are safer, and batteries have higher density, and last longer, I'm still partial to the hot-swap 'repairability' of exchanging battery packs. Not like Vinfast, which faded fast, because it's battery-swap business model, 'leasing/subscription' batteries is a terrible idea. Full production should make this EV under $100,000, and then the Autobahn better get ready for real speed at an affordable price.

[@petrushka2]

It has 99.9kW battery on 900V platform. Dual 27,300Rpm V8s motor on rear axle and single V6s 20,000 rpm motor on front axle. It’s a beast.

[@reggie5989]

They upgrade to cooling? As something like a teals model 3 lodo, tend to overheat and limit power after only a few hot laps.

[@STheSecret]

They rebuild all the cooling and battery for racing, if not mistaken the battery is similar to yangwang u9

[@sw8407]
