Yeah the SU7 Ultra is cool. A four door you can drive to the shops and also break the lap record at your local race track. I'm not sure that's been done before. Maybe I'll see if I can get one if I have a spare 73k. I'm a Brit so it's not quite as hard as for the US I think.

What do you mean? The UK's per-capita GDP is $50k, whereas the US's is $80k. Or do you mean it's easier to actually find someone who'll sell you a Chinese cars in the UK?

I meant it's probably easier to buy/import the car.

Like I found a site listing the SU7 max for £45k, though I'm not sure it's actually available yet https://wevee.uk/xiaomi/su7/max-101kwh

Probably a reference to tarrifs.

These are unbelievable. Makes you realize how backwards EV cars and tech are in the USA.

So now Xiaomi does cars? Where's Apple's iCar?

Very relevant "Xiaomi is Why Apple Should Have Made a Car" https://youtube.com/watch?v=IYz9kxLHj7g

How does that video show that Apple “should have made a car”? The video spends time explaining Xiaomi’s history, but spends no time justifying the clickbait title other than implying Xiaomi’s rise in stock price as the reason.

Apple have completely missed the boat now due to Tim Apple's incompetence. If Steve were here then there would be an Apple Car.

Apple canceled Project Titan in 2024 after 10 years of development.

Apple probably made a mistake trying to do it in house rather than getting a chinese company to knock one out to thier specs.

Crazy thing is, imagine Apple just sold that car -- the Xiaomi SU7. Rebadged it, tinkered a bit with the computers and the paint, and didn't change anything else worth writing about. I think it would instantly become one of the top car companies in the world. Just that simple.

Makes you wonder why they don't do it.
