Following the announcement of car manufacturing, Xiaomi smart cars began to act quickly, the focus is on the progress is very fast, far beyond the expectations of many people, to know that Lei Jun announced in October, Xiaomi cars are expected to be officially mass-produced in the first half of 2024, and the current Xiaomi car plant has also begun to build. In other words, from the announcement of car manufacturing to the expected mass production of the first car, Xiaomi is expected to take only three years.
Three years from nothing to build the first car, for Xiaomi time is also very tight, must go all out to achieve this goal. However, recently there have been media reports that Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise Zhimi also wants to build a car, and the information of Xiaomi's double-line car manufacturing has been transmitted. In response, Xiaomi's public relations manager Wang Hua responded, saying that Xiaomi has no two-line car-making plan and Xiaomi does not participate in Zhimi's strategic decision-making.
Judging from xiaomi's official response, zhimi car manufacturing has no direct relationship with xiaomi, and xiaomi still continues to seriously build its own car. In fact, Lei Jun, who gambled on everything he had to build cars, now really does not have the energy to manage the ecological chain enterprises to build cars, which has recently withdrawn from many xiaomi-related companies, and Wang Hua also said that it is a normal change: Lei Zong's energy this year is mainly focused on car-making related matters.
Finally: building a car is not a simple thing, just think of the model Lei Jun also had to step down from other companies, focus on building millet cars, you know how difficult it is.
