13:44 It's generally bad when the answer to "Are we cooked?" is "No because they don't sell this here yet." 😂
It took Xiaomi less than 5 years from zero to produce this car. Apple took 10 and gave up.
AND That's not even the ultra one.😅
An actual door handle!!!
Having notifications on top in one speaker and not interrupting the audio content sounds amazing.
Bro America would just ban this for "privacy and safety" reasons
The US car industry was cooked in the 1970s. The only reason US automakers still exist is tariffs.
$75,000 dollars? Bro, that's like $120,000 car if not more if it was built by Mercedes or Porsche. This is a wild wild spec for a car that's $42,000
They don't just cook us. They deep fry and crisp the western auto industry
My friend from Ecuador who's a big traveller and backpacker visited China recently, and when he came back he said he couldn't believe how fking innovated their tech industry was compared to the US, he went across Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hongkong, Beijing, and Shanghai, and said he felt way safer in China than in all of America from North to South, apparently in Latin America, Chinas EV's are dominating everywhere, but I'm so hyped to try out their Xiaomi car holy sht.
