Xiaomi has recently informed potential buyers eager to book a test drive of their latest electric vehicle, the SU7, that they may need to wait between four to seven months for delivery, as reported by Reuters. This delay underscores the high demand for Xiaomi's inaugural EV, which was unveiled with much fanfare at a Beijing event last week. Following its launch, the SU7 saw an overwhelming response, with nearly 89,000 pre-orders within the first day.

The anticipation for Xiaomi's EV comes in the wake of Apple's withdrawal from the EV market, highlighting the contrasting fortunes of tech giants in the automotive sector. Xiaomi's entry into the EV space is marked by strong consumer interest but also occurs at a time when the EV market faces downward trends and fierce competition, especially in China where price cuts by leading EV makers like Tesla and BYD intensify the market dynamics.

Despite these challenges, Xiaomi is setting its sights on the higher segment of China's auto market, with the SU7 priced competitively against rivals like Tesla's Model 3. The company's venture into EVs is supported by its extensive experience in smartphones, which could enhance its vehicles' smart features, and its significant financial resources to withstand the competitive pressures.
