Lei Jun: No company in the previous car factory has ever invested in such large-scale testing.

Although the Xiaomi SU7 has been officially launched for nearly two months, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun still uses various methods to maintain the popularity of the car in public opinion.

Recently, Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi Group, conductedokumaavenger3.60After a three-hour live broadcast of SU7 driving, Xiaomi's urban NOA and high-speed NOA systems were publicly tested for the first time, and 39 million views were received. In addition to releasing his views on smart driving and Xiaomi's investment in this field, Lei Jun also announced to the outside world that Xiaomi SU7 is still under testing.

"Let me tell you another piece of information that I haven't told you before. The (SU7) team is still undergoing testing. We hope to run this batch of cars to 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers and run the entire life cycle to see if there are any problems. After all testing, it may run 11 million kilometers." Lei Jun said that no company in the previous car factory had ever engaged in such large-scale testing.

After Lei Jun disclosed the information that Xiaomi SU7 was still being tested, it once again aroused heated discussion among public opinion and practitioners.

R & D personnel from many traditional automobile companies told reporters that the full life cycle test mentioned by Lei Jun should be a regional road test or a national road test conducted by traditional automobile companies. Such tests are different from bench or site tests in terms of usage scenarios and intensity. It is closer to the actual use of users. Depending on the company's requirements, the test mileage usually ranges from 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers.

"But this type of testing will definitely continue before formal production (SOP), not after delivery." A test engineer from a joint-venture car company told reporters that the durability test of general products will be divided into vehicle durability, special durability, etc. Some tests will be carried out through bench testing, professional test tracks, etc. Such tests can be converted to be equivalent to longer.

Therefore, there is a view that Xiaomi's SU7 test has not yet been completed, which is suspected of treating users as guinea pigs. However, some people also said that road tests are continuing after launch and the car is still improving.

Since its official launch on March 28, Xiaomi SU7 has become one of the hottest products in the market this year. On May 15, Xiaomi said that Xiaomi SU7 completed the delivery of 10,000 units in 43 days, and Xiaomi Automobile will continue to increase production capacity to ensure this year's delivery target of 100,000 units.

However, since the beginning of delivery, Xiaomi SU7 has experienced many suspected quality problems, including brake failure, loss of power, and falling off wings.

A road test person from a car company who asked to remain anonymous believes that the fall off of the fender of the Xiaomi SU7 is relatively "low-level", which should be a problem that should be discovered and solved during the road test.
