I thought it was a Xiaomi Su7 before I see the words "Dongfeng's eπ"

Xiaomi Su7 catches fire after unloading from trailer. Reasons of the incident have not been clarified. However, I think it's the fault of the battery. Maybe people should check about battery safety again.

Not related to car battery. Owner's battery caught fire.

Europeans failed the IQ tests which checks if they understand ability to sell the same quality product at a much lower price also means ability to sell a much higher quality product at same price.

For years they were convinced the competition is only for mass market vehicles, they really bought into the delusion that their brand has intrinsic value without the need to back it up with actual products, and even now they still think it's a cost problem even as they're losing on both high and low end, because it's really a value problem.

Without solving value, cutting cost just means you build a shitbox that further destroys their brand, this is exactly what's happening.

The only good and realistic advice quoted in the entire article is, basically, to move to China and become Chinese.
MBAs use layoffs as some sort of universal panacea for every corporate ill so no surprise there really. At least they realized that there is a legit problem now instead of coping BJP style.

I don’t think that they thought their brand had as much intrinsic value as you believe. They were simply caught flat footed and their product cycle cannot match the Chinese model. Look at all the BBA EV models, all first gen platforms until recently where BMW and VWAG introduced 2nd gen. These second gen are barely competing with Xiaomi first generation platform. Xiaomi never built a car until 2 years ago. MBz already cancelled their 2nd gen EV.

China has already cemented leadership at this point because they are now setting the standards in EV safety.

These things aren’t even in western governments’ radars due to slow EV uptake.

China will toughen safety regulations for EV and assisted driving.

Xiaomi YU7's die-casting enhances crash-force management, thermal system integration, and space efficiency. It just won an industrial award in North America. Unfortunately, Chinese NEVs are subjected to 100% tariff in both the US and Canada.
