- On Nov. 16, Lei Jun posted multiple Weibo messages stating that safety is the foundation and prerequisite for Xiaomi Auto.
- He cited earlier disclosures that Xiaomi uses a steel–aluminum mixed body with high‑strength steel and aluminum exceeding 90%, peak steel strength of 2000 MPa, and torsional stiffness of 51,000 Nm/deg.
- He stressed battery safety as the most critical factor in an EV and said Xiaomi applies its strictest standards to packs.
- He reiterated a four-part protection framework covering passive safety, active safety, battery safety, and privacy security.
- He rejected the idea that saying a car should look good first conflicts with a safety-first stance and accused online critics of taking remarks out of context, noting the brand has faced heavy attacks since launch.
