On the evening of July 2nd， Xiaomi Chairman Lei Jun held a live stream session， offering an update on the order and delivery status of the Xiaomi SU7 electric vehicle， and addressing questions from online viewers.
During the broadcast， in response to a netizen’s inquiry， Lei Jun stated: “He Xiaopeng is a friend of mine for over 20 years. I believe the automotive industry shouldn’t just be about fierce competition; it also needs brotherly camaraderie. Therefore， I wish the XPeng G7 great success!”
Furthermore， Lei Jun commented on Xiaomi’s car production capacity， acknowledging the overwhelming number of confirmed orders which has exceeded their initial expectations， leading to extended production scheduling. He requested patience from the public， asking for a little more understanding and time.
He also offered alternative recommendations for those needing a vehicle sooner， noting that many domestic new energy vehicles are excellent options. He specifically suggested paying attention to the XPeng G7， scheduled for release the following day， and the Li Auto i8， slated for launch at the end of the month.
