You only saw renderings in this article. "Unveils", preorders all sold out, not a single REAL picture of video clip. Even the promotional movie is all cgi.

> "Unveils", preorders all sold out..

This is about SU7, not the 'Ultra'. SU7 is very much real.

Yes, but given the fact that other chinese EV cars are very competitive in the markets where they are sold, with satisfied consumers, and given the fact that Xiaomi is a pretty decent company with a good record, I don't think your skepticism is warranted.

Let's not forget that law in China is draconian and the communist government always enjoy the opportunity to jail executives and I don't think a company like Xiaomi wouldn't be accepting pre-orders without being pretty sure they will be able to deliver.

I didnt say it doesnt exist at all, just that there is nothing in this article to actually judge actual product by because its all CGI.

Xiaomi is an Apple ripoff company. MIUI, 'one more thing', Mi Box, Router Mini, stores, its all cargo cult 1:1 look and sometimes feel copies.

Xiaomi is also a company that will happily sell you a "10000mAh" powerbank with "5500 mAh" rated capacity.
