Overview
- Lei Jun used a Jan. 3 New Year livestream to rebut claims such as “1300 km on one charge” and “200 km/h instant stop,” saying the quotes were lifted out of context.
- Lei explained his Beijing–Shanghai drive involved a single charge on a roughly 1,300 km segment and noted the YU7 standard model’s 835 km CLTC range is an official test figure, not a personal boast.
- PR chief Xu Jieyun said the “200 km/h” line described a filmed braking test of the SU7 Ultra’s performance, not deceptive advertising, and criticized selective clipping of the footage.
- Xu condemned coordinated online attacks on owners, including edited clips labeled “绿化带战神,” reaffirmed that Xiaomi will stand with owners, and cited a Sept. 26 community post inviting victims to seek legal support.
- Xiaomi refuted the rumor that it tries to stop farmers from selling millet, calling related videos false, as Lei Jun voiced anger and the company pointed to ongoing rural donations and education projects.
