Is it true that the Yangwang U9's driving dynamics is (relatively) disappointing? Or is this just Xiaomi fans trying to disparage BYD?

@sabiothailand's dad's FLG version of the story:
The U9 is a fake car, just a shell over an ebike, so it is definitely slower. Both cars being made in China just burst into flames after pressing the accelerator more than 20 times.

U9 performance wise as a supercar is definitely not up to the hype(if there were any), and sales figures are also quite low. A total of only 131 Yangwang U9 are delivered from Sep 24 to Jun 25. Here delivery number is the number of cars legally registered with number plates. With the total delivery number so low, it is quite likely the actual sold cars are even less, some of the delivery might be for test driving or other purpose. As a result, we also see very few performance testing and track lapping of U9, unlike the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra.

Dude, okay, here's thing, I misheard and misremembered what my dad said. It was something else, something about insurance stuff that I have no idea about.

Just a joke, don't think too much about it, lol
Thought you might enjoy the "controversy"

This is SDF Chinese EV thread, so definitely anything from BYD is quite hyped here.
I never realized how "disappointing" U9 was. Wonder if this is a tuning issue

The problem is its never really built as a racetrack supercar in the first place, just a luxury car with really beefed up engine. I think they thought a car that is more comfortable to drive will sell better but it turns out to be nought.
