The first cars hit the roads
After the first Xiaomi SU7 appeared on the streets, negative stories began to appear. Videos and photographs of crashed cars and traffic accidents have spread across Chinese social media.
In one of these videos, the driver of a Xiaomi SU7 loses control of the car and crashes into a high curb. There is already talk that the car's traction control system may have failed. Although, most likely, the driver simply couldn’t control the powerful car and kept his foot on the accelerator pedal, trying to get out of the skid.
Another video posted by Inside China Auto shows a Xiaomi SU7 in Radiant Purple with a faulty air suspension. The car practically sank to the asphalt.

Xiaomi denies, that more than 99% of the cars produced were sold out. Lei Jun promised that there would be no discomfort in the new car.
