Recently, some media reported that Apple has cancelled its ten-year electric vehicle plan and abandoned one of the most ambitious projects in the company's history.
Regarding this news, automotive industry leaders including Musk, Lei Jun, Li Xiang, and others have publicly expressed their opinions. On February 28, Lei Jun, the founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, said on his microblog: "Very shocked! Xiaomi's strategy is' people car home ecology '. We are well aware of the difficulty of building cars. Three years ago, we still made an extremely firm strategic choice to build a good car for Rice noodles!"
In the afternoon, Lei Jun once again posted on Weibo, saying, "The Xiaomi SU7 supports Carplay, and the rear screen also supports iPad attachment. After Apple withdrew from car manufacturing, Apple users chose smart electric vehicles, and the Xiaomi SU7 is definitely the best choice."
Currently, the 2024 World Mobile Congress (MWC 2024) is being held in Barcelona, Spain. The first model of Xiaomi SU7 also appeared in the exhibition, attracting many media and "Rice noodles" spectators. Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing revealed in a media interview at MWC that the Xiaomi SU7 will soon be officially released and will be delivered domestically as early as the second quarter of this year.
