Behind him was a large screen displaying a side-by-side comparison of the Model Y to Xiaomi's new YU7 electric SUV. Lei added that he found Model Y to be a really good car."
"He added that Xiaomi's team spent a long time thinking about how to best design the SUV's internal space. Lei said that the final version of the YU7's design "definitely does not lose to the Model Y." He also compared the battery life of Xiaomi's YU7 with that of the Model Y, and said he thought his firm had excellent performance for its price point."
""I'm not criticizing the Model Y. The Model Y is a very, very outstanding car," Lei added. This comes as Tesla's sales in China dropped 4% in August to 83,200 units, compared to the year before, per data from the China Passenger Car Association. It has been losing steam in the country as it faces intense competition from local players like Xiaomi, Xpeng, and Nio, all selling cheaper EVs than Tesla."
