In 2021, Lei Jun said that he would bet on the credibility of his life and build a car for the last time. And three years later, in 2024, the Xiaomi SU7 car will officially hit the entire car circle.
And judging from the current situation, Lei Jun is really the most correct choice to build a car, because with only one SU7, Xiaomi has created one miracle after another in the history of China's new energy vehicles.
For example, 27 minutes of orders over 50,000, 1 month lock orders over 100,000, 43 days to deliver 10,000, 2 months to deliver 15,000+, etc., these are unprecedented records, it is estimated that for a long time, it will be the next one.
With Xiaomi's cash reserves, Xiaomi's huge traffic effect, and Lei Jun's personal charm, plus Xiaomi's cost-effective advantage, to a certain extent, Xiaomi cars have basically succeeded, and the probability of failure is extremely low.
It can even be said that many new energy vehicles in the current market have fallen, and Xiaomi may not have fallen, because the cash reserves exceed 127.3 billion, which is the highest cash reserve of Chinese car companies, and Xiaomi is not worried about money at all, not afraid of losses.
And relying on cars, Xiaomi has really opened up the ecology of people, cars and homes. It can be said that after Xiaomi built a car, it really broke through the ceiling when it only made mobile phones. Therefore, Lei Jun is really the most correct choice.
But if you think that Lei Jun is building a car, is it really just for the car itself, for the car business? Then you are wrong, with the popularity of Xiaomi SU7 and Lei Jun's movement around, Lei Jun's ambitions have finally been exposed.
When he visited Li Bin of Weilai before, Lei Jun actually expressed a similar point of view, Lei Jun believes that the current cars are all bounded by their respective brands, and the accessories and peripherals of different brands cannot be used universally.
For example, the rear screen, Xiaomi uses a tablet, but this tablet is only limited to Xiaomi, and other cars can't use it, because the interface and protocol are different, can we make a unified interface, and then such a screen can be universal?
There are many similar ones, such as Xiaomi's mobile phone holder, Xiaomi's physical buttons, other peripherals of Weilai, some products of Xiaopeng, and even some accessories of the world, all of which are universal, how convenient is that?
At the 2024 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show, Lei Jun also publicly appealed, "Chinese car companies should not be involved in small problems, which are worthless, and should open up resources and jointly build and share the entire ecology, which is good for users and the industry, and Chinese cars will get better and better." ”
Obviously, with the success of SU7, Lei Jun finally called on other Chinese car companies to build an ecosystem together, instead of isolating himself from the brand.
Although it is not easy to achieve this, the reason is well understood, but I have to say that if it is really realized, then the entire Chinese automobile will be able to share a huge ecology, which is a very good thing for users and the industry.
As a user, I still hope that Lei Jun's ambition can be realized as soon as possible, and when the time comes, I will buy a Wenjie car and install a Xiaomi tablet in it, or buy a Xiaomi car, install a Huawei tablet, or even Apple's iPad, and it will feel quite good.
