A few days ago, we also saw that under the sharp rise in oil prices, the prices of many electric vehicles have also increased instantaneously, not only Tesla has announced the price increase information, but many independent brands have also begun to set off a price increase boom. The price of electric models of byBYD Dynasty and Ocean series ranges from 3k-6k, Euler Good Cat increases by 6k-7k, and geometric cars increase by 3k-7k. Even niche electric vehicle brands such as WM have a 7k-2.6w increase.
It can be said that the time for electric vehicles to dominate the automobile market situation is coming, and as the "big guy" of household appliances, Xiaomi naturally cannot let go of this good opportunity, and recently according to the small editor of the car, Xiaomi's first engineering prototype will be launched in the third quarter of this year.
It can be seen that the preparation work done by Xiaomi to build a car is very sufficient, and it is not a joke at all. Xiaomi also believes that the car will be the dominant mobile Internet in the future, officially saying that "it is not accurate to say that the mobile phone is the mobile Internet, because it cannot move, and the car can." ”
We also hope that Xiaomi Cars will not be like Dong Mingzhu's Yinlong new energy vehicles, just make a car. Indeed, Xiaomi has put the car-making business in the first place at present, starting from March 30, 2021, Xiaomi officially announced its entry into the intelligent electric vehicle industry. According to the announcement released by Xiaomi Group, Xiaomi intends to set up a wholly-owned company to be responsible for the intelligent electric vehicle business, with an initial investment of 10 billion yuan, and is expected to invest 10 billion US dollars in the next 10 years, and is led by Lei Jun personally. Mr. Lei said, "I am willing to bet on all the reputations in my life to personally lead the team and fight for Xiaomi Cars." ”
At the end of 2021, Xiaomi, who rushed to work day and night, announced that Xiaomi Automobile Headquarters officially signed a contract to settle in Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, it is reported that the Xiaomi Automobile Project will build Xiaomi Automobile Headquarters Base and Sales Headquarters, R&D Headquarters, and will build an annual output of 300,000 vehicle factories in two phases, of which the first and second phases of production capacity are 150,000 vehicles, and it is expected that the first car will be off the production line and achieve mass production in 2024.
At the same time, in order to speed up the progress of car manufacturing, Xiaomi Automobile also spent nearly 80 million US dollars to acquire the autonomous driving technology team, and recruited technical talents such as vehicle research and development at high salaries.
As for the first product of Xiaomi Car, the official has not officially revealed the news at present, and Xiaomi, which may be "real guns and bullets" to build cars, does not want people to think that they will only fool people with that PPT. However, as early as early September last year, Xiaomi community netizens exposed a group of pictures of the first car of the "Xiaomi Electric Vehicle M1", which made the rice noodles excited.
Such as the full-scenario intelligent driver assistance system, the centralized EEA architecture, MIUI full-chain Mijia ecosystem and other smart devices are not a lot, in terms of configuration stacking, Xiaomi car also inherits Xiaomi's consistent thickness in mobile phone products. For this promotional poster, even Xiaomi Auto officially expressed great satisfaction. As for whether the exposure map of netizens is revealed from the official, we cannot be sure, but in terms of the attitude of Xiaomi's official response, it should not be much different from the netizens' simulation.
Then after the listing of Xiaomi cars, it will also bring pressure to many independent new energy brands, after all, the deterrent power of Xiaomi's "boss in the electrical industry" is still not small. And at present, Xiaomi has more than 2,000 Xiaomi home sales network, a considerable part of which are distributed in the core business districts of cities with high consumption capacity, such a store size is enough to put down several exhibition cars, and these will become one of the biggest competitive advantages of Xiaomi in the future in the sales of electric vehicles.
In general, the xiaomi car is conclusive, and we also hope to see xiaomi's first car as soon as possible, and believe that it can also be recognized by every household like xiaomi home appliances. In the end, can Lei Jun be like Musk, and the cowhide can be achieved? Let's wait and see! So what are your views and expectations on Xiaomi's first car, you can comment and tell the editor.
