Chinese EV Contender Xiaomi's Budget 'Tesla Killer' Zooms Past Sales Expectations By 3-5 Times
The sales of the first electric car by Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi Corp (OTC:XIACF) have reportedly exceeded expectations by three to five times.
據報道，中國智能手機制造商小米公司（場外交易代碼：XIACF）首款電動汽車的銷量超出預期三到五倍。
What Happened: Company CEO Lei Jun revealed the unexpected sales figures during a live stream on Douyin, the Chinese equivalent of TikTok, Reuters reported.
發生了什麼：路透社報道，公司首席執行官雷軍在抖音（中國相當於TikTok）的直播中透露了意想不到的銷售數字。
The SU7, which was launched last month, has a starting price of 215,900 yuan (about $29,829), lower than even the Tesla Model 3 in China. The pricier variants of the sedan, called Pro and Max, start at 245,900 ($33,973) and 299,900 yuan ($41,434), respectively. Xiaomi received over 50,000 orders in less than half an hour of starting to take orders late last month and has already commenced deliveries of select versions of the vehicle.
上個月推出的SU7的起價爲215,900元人民幣（約合29,829美元），甚至低於中國的特斯拉Model 3。這款名爲Pro和Max的轎車價格更高的變體起價分別爲245,900美元（33,973美元）和29.9萬元人民幣（合41,434美元）。小米在上個月底開始接受訂單不到半小時的時間內收到了超過50,000份訂單，並且已經開始交付該車的部分版本。
In the live stream, the CEO also confirmed that Xiaomi has no plans to build off-road vehicles and will primarily focus on the SU7, Reuters added.
路透社補充說，在直播中，首席執行官還證實，小米沒有製造越野車的計劃，將主要關注SU7。
Why It Matters: Since the launch of the SU7, smaller players in China such as Zeekr have slashed prices on their vehicles in an attempt to protect their market share.
爲何重要：自SU7推出以來，極客等中國小型企業削減了汽車價格，以保護其市場份額。
"Xiaomi's car officially debuts, the real revolution in smart cars has officially begun, and China will surely give birth to a great company like Tesla," company CEO Lei Jun reportedly said at the delivery ceremony for the founder's edition of the car earlier this month.
據報道，小米首席執行官雷軍在本月早些時候創始人版汽車的交付儀式上說：“小米的汽車正式亮相，真正的智能汽車革命已經正式開始，中國肯定會誕生像特斯拉這樣的偉大公司。”
