First 100,000 Xiaomi SU7 EVs to be delivered months earlier than predicted

Xiaomi's electric vehicle (EV) project has now grown from a pipe-dream on the part of CEO Lei Jun to an actual business division with its own dealerships, service shops and delivery depots: 93, 57 and 30 of those respectively, in 31 different Chinese cities to boot, today.

The OEM plans to add 127, 78 and 23 more of each respectively by the end of 2024, the operations of which would, of course, revolve around the inaugural SU7 and its Pro or Max variants thus far. Xiaomi projected that it would fulfil at least 100,000 of their orders by the end of 2024; however, it seems that target will be in the rear view mirror by early November 2024.

That projection has been revised even in the face of the need to shut an SU7 production line down for maintenance earlier in July 2024; nevertheless, the OEM asserts it is still on track to deliver at least 10,000 vehicles by the end of the month.
