On December 26, when attending the CCTV "Dialogue Challenger" column, He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xiaopeng Motors, said that Lei Jun's car was "instigated" by me.
He Xiaopeng said: "I have always suggested that Xiaomi build a car, because the mobile phone is cooler than the car, so I have been suggesting Lei Jun to build a car." In addition, on the question of whether Xiaomi's car will compete with Xiaopeng Automobile, he said, "The last time we discussed this issue, we all agreed that there is a very important point, that is, in the future in the global market, if there is a friend who is your good brother, it will definitely be better." Because this market is different from the Internet, it is not winner-take-all, it has a lot of opportunities for more partners. ”
According to He Xiaopeng, when he really planned to build a car, he went to lei jun several times, when Lei Jun felt that building a car was a very difficult thing, and he did not expect He Xiaopeng to build a car, but he finally decided to build a car, and later Lei Jun also invested in him.
According to public information, Xiaomi will build a factory with an annual output of 300,000 vehicles, and it is expected that the first car will roll off the production line and achieve mass production in 2024.
