At 18:00 on August 17, Xiaomi unveiled its summer testing base for the first time. Lei Jun and Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing inspected the results of this year's summer testing at the Xiaomi summer testing base in Turpan and announced them to the market through live broadcast. Lei Jun also posted a photo of himself at the summer testing base on Weibo that night, with the caption: "Today is the 50th day of our summer testing this year, and it is about to end. There are 70 to 80 engineers stationed in various departments here." He also asked everyone in the comment area if they watched the live broadcast, and netizens said "I watched it, and the microphone exploded."

Many netizens in the live broadcast room reminded Lei Jun that the microphone was blown up

Why did you choose Turpan for summer testing? Lei Jun responded: At 6 pm in Turpan, the surface temperature was 70 degrees Celsius. Cars can also have accidents under extreme high temperature conditions, so extreme tests must be conducted in high temperature, high humidity, and high altitude places for summer testing.

"In addition to sun protection testing in Turpan, Xiaomi cars will also undergo humidity and heat testing in Hainan. Winter testing will be conducted in Heihe, and winter testing in Russia is not ruled out in the future," Lei Jun revealed.

Xiaomi Motors attaches great importance to testing. Lei Jun revealed in a live broadcast that before the official launch of the Xiaomi SU7, 70,000 charging piles were tested. The current test mileage has reached more than 7 million kilometers, spanning a temperature difference of more than 100 degrees.

Although Xiaomi SU7 has been launched, there are still many tests to be done. "Only by continuous testing can the product be better," Lei Jun said.

In the live broadcast room, some comments were interesting.

For example, "Mr. Lei, the owners of Zeekr cars apologize to you." For another example, the comment section was constantly filled with questions such as "Jun, when will Xiaomi launch an SUV?" and calls such as "Wait for the SUV", but Lei Jun did not respond to these questions.

There were some flaws during the live broadcast, such as mute, jamming, and microphone crashing. This was the first time that this happened during Lei Jun's live broadcast. The mute lasted for several minutes, the hissing electronic music lasted for more than 20 minutes, and the "Everyone Says" multiplier of "Mr. Lei, the microphone is crashing" instantly exceeded 1,000.

Netizens hotly discussed: "I thought Lei Zong had released new music", "Xiaomi is going to release a microphone", "Doesn't the live broadcast team listen to the live broadcast themselves?"...

Xiaomi Auto Vice President Li Xiaoshuang apologized, saying, "There were some issues during our live broadcast, such as audio and video being out of sync and microphone jamming. We will systematically summarize and review the situation later to see what the problem was. We hope that we can be more fully prepared for the follow-up work. We apologize for the bad experience we brought to everyone."

After analysis, it was found that this so-called “test” wasThe settings are not rigorous, the records are incomplete, and the conclusions are unscientific.At the same time, Xiaomi Auto denied and explained some of the claims made in the test.

Recently, a car blogger with millions of followers released a video titled "When Xiaomi SU7 hits a Zeekr 007", which attracted widespread attention. The video shows that the blogger used Xiaomi SU7 to conduct a collision test with a Zeekr 007, with a collision speed of 60 kilometers per hour and a 90% overlap rate. As a result, the Xiaomi SU7 suffered a small battery power outage and the car door could not be opened.

Xiaomi Motors conducted a preliminary analysis of the incident. Xiaomi Motors said that the statement that the E-CALL (automatic emergency call system) failed after the collision was untrue. "After investigation, the call center called and connected immediately after the collision, and the backend continued to call for 5 minutes without receiving any feedback; and then called back the car owner's registered mobile phone number a total of 5 times, but no one answered." Xiaomi Motors explained.

Secondly, regarding the information related to "small battery power failure" that netizens are concerned about, Xiaomi Motors said that according to the data from the national monitoring platform, the vehicle data was offline for a long time before the collision, and the small battery was disconnected for a long time; then, the small battery was connected again. At the time of the collision, the data from the national monitoring platform was missing, and the small battery was already in a power-off state. "We cannot confirm whether the electrodes were locked in accordance with the standard when the small battery was powered on again during this process, nor can we rule out the possibility that the small battery was powered off after the collision due to improper assembly." Xiaomi Motors said.

Xiaomi Auto emphasized that Xiaomi SU7 had undergone rigorous collision tests during the development process and had no safety hazards, and the problems described in the video did not occur.

Finally, Xiaomi Auto calls for vehicle impact testing to be a complex, rigorous and extremely serious test, which should be conducted by professional organizations.

On the evening of August 14, test blogger @原始是翔翔啊 also released an apology video, explaining the "Xiaomi SU7 and Zeekr 007 collision test video" that had previously caused controversy.

The blogger said: In the previously released video "When Xiaomi SU7 hits a Zeekr 007...", we reflected and reviewed all the issues reported by netizens one by one, and spent the past day finding another Xiaomi SU7 to verify. We found that there may be a problem with the positive power cord being not installed tightly. Since we have no way to verify the actual tightening torque, the statement that the positive power cord of the battery was knocked off is inaccurate, and this statement will affect the subsequent conclusions and judgments, causing the content to cause confusion and misleading to the audience. Hereby solemnly apologize to Xiaomi Auto and all the friends who have watched this issue before.

Internet celebrity blogger apologizes

Industry insiders said that due to the structural design of different vehicles, different models may have different "crash-resistant" points. At the same time, in reality, the collision angle of vehicles and the collision cannot overlap, so such a "car-to-car" collision cannot fully explain the absolute strength of the two cars. If you want to understand the safety of the model you bought, you can refer to the collision test results of official organizations.
