Seventy days after delivering its first vehicle, China’s tech giant Xiaomi crossed 20,000 vehicles delivered.
In May, its second month of production, the company delivered 8,630 units of the first model Xiaomi Su7.
“Surpassed 20,000 Xiaomi SU7 deliveries in just 70 days! We’re on track to exceed 10,000 deliveries in June,” the chief executive Lei Jun wrote on X.
The company started having doubling shifts at its car factory in early June as the annual production target was increased from 100 thousand to 120 thousand units.
Shortly after the SU7 launch event, Jun noted that the sales volume exceeded expectations by “three to five times,” presenting both a boost and a challenge.
Xiaomi CEO says the great demand is also a “headache” despite enhancing that the “partners are relatively strong” and that “the [production] ramp up has been very fast”.
During the launch event of the SU7, Jun expressed Xiaomi’s vision for a seamlessly connected ecosystem, where human interaction with cars and homes creates a unified smart living experience.
