Xiaomi Auto recently released its 166th episode of “Answering Netizens’ Questions.”
In response to the question, “Someone online claims to be a Xiaomi Auto delivery specialist and claims they can deliver vehicles in advance. Is this true?”
Xiaomi Auto stated: Please do not believe any such messages you receive, and certainly do not engage in any monetary transactions to avoid financial losses.
For information related to “advance delivery,” “advance delivery requiring transfers to individuals,” or “paying for expedited delivery,” please exercise extreme caution and carefully verify. Regarding delivery timelines, please refer to the estimated delivery cycles displayed on the Xiaomi Auto APP.
To protect your personal privacy, please be mindful not to share your order details, phone number, or other private information with others or on public platforms. Your dedicated delivery specialists are progressively establishing WeChat work groups for delivery. Due to the current high order volume, we kindly ask for your patience. Thank you for your understanding and support.
It is understood that the Xiaomi SU7 officially opened for reservations on the evening of June 26th. Within 3 minutes, the number of confirmed orders exceeded 200,000 units. In just 18 hours of sales, the locked orders surpassed 240,000 units, setting a new record for global automakers.
While the new car has been selling exceptionally well, Xiaomi Auto’s delivery capacity is now facing a formidable challenge.
Currently, the locked order interface on the Xiaomi Auto App displays estimated delivery times. Specifically, the Standard Edition is estimated at 58-61 weeks, the Pro Edition at 51-54 weeks, and the Max Edition at 38-41 weeks.
This means that placing an order for a SU7 Standard Edition today could result in a wait of up to a year for delivery. This extended wait time likely explains why individuals might impersonate Xiaomi Auto delivery specialists to scam customers through supposed “queue jumping” fees.
