Siii! Xiaomi's New SUV: A Direct Shot at Tesla? CR7 Weighs In!

Xiaomi? More Like 'Siuuu'omi!

Alright alright settle down. Cristiano here reporting LIVE from… well my mansion obviously. Apparently Xiaomi the phone guys are now making electric cars. And not just any car they're aiming at Tesla's Model Y with their new YU7 SUV. Range of 760 km? That's further than I run in a week... probably. But seriously good for them! Competition is good makes everyone work harder. Even me... sometimes. This YU7 they say it will 'erode' Tesla's market share. Erode! Sounds like a beach after a big storm doesn't it? Let's see if they can actually score this goal.

Range Rover? More Like Range Cristiano!

This range thing it's important like my free kicks. Nobody wants to be stranded with a dead battery. Xiaomi is boasting 760 kilometers. Tesla is at 719km. It's like the champions league final and you are leading with 1 goal! The report says it will make people worried about charging less. Fair enough. But let's be honest I'd still rather fly my private jet maybe with a Xiaomi phone in hand of course.

Price Wars: Is This a Discount or a Steal?

Citi analysts are saying the YU7 might cost between 250,000 to 320,000 yuan. Sounds like a bargain! It is around $34,700 to $44,420. Remember when I said 'Your love makes me stronger'? Well in this case lower prices might make Xiaomi stronger. Tesla starts higher so it is an open goal... Let's see if they can actually hit the target!

Sales Goals: Are They Aiming for the Stars?

30,000 units per month! Those are ambitious numbers! Citi analysts think the car will do 300,000 to 360,000 units per year. They're dreaming big just like I dreamed of winning Ballon d'Or awards... and then I did! If they can pull it off it would be a major victory. They need to go like “SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU”!

Rankings: Who's the Real Number One?

Tesla's Model Y is up there but not the absolute best seller. BYD and others are in the mix. Xiaomi's SU7 sedan ranked fourth while Tesla's Model Y ranked eighth. It is like the Euro Cup. It doesn't matter what you did before but matters what are you doing now. The SU7 is doing well but now Xiaomi wants the YU7 to be even better. It is all about the continuous improvement. Siiii!

Luxury or Bust: Can Xiaomi Deliver?

Luxury SUV they're calling it. Can Xiaomi pull off 'luxury'? They did the smartphones now they want to dominate the EV market. They say it might outsell the SU7. Big talk! The pressure is on. But hey pressure makes diamonds right? Or at least makes me score more goals. We'll see if the YU7 is a true champion or just another flash in the pan. I'll be watching... from my Lamborghini of course.
