Ferrari Luce arrives in China - on the road The first photos of a Ferrari Luce on the road in China. The red EV was unloaded from a box truck and it drove straight into the showroom of a Ferrari dealer in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. It looks like the same "Rosso Fiammante" car that was unveiled earlier on at an official Ferrari media event, so it is likely dealer demo car. The Luce has received a similar reaction in China as in the rest of the world: odd looks, not enough power, and way too expensive. The Chinese price is 3.988 million yuan ($586,000), including taxes. Power: four-motor AWD, 1050 hp and 990 Nm. 0-100 in 2.5s, 310 km/h top speed. Battery: 122 kWh, for a CLTC range of 530 km. Charging: max 350 kW. $RACE

The Xiaomi SU7 just keeps crashing in China - Part 3 This is getting out of hand. Every day, we see new videos on Chinese social media of crashing Xiaomi SU7 sedans. We only post 25% or so, there is much more. Since our last Xiaomi crash-post on April 6, at least 10 new crashes have happened. Whenever a new model is launched, photos of crashes of that car start to appear on Chinese social media, just because people pay attention. Normally, after a few months, the attentions is over and the model really crashes as much as any other car. But in case of the Xiaomi SU7, something more seems to be going on. The latest videos show SU7 sedans in a ditch and against barriers. The 2nd video is interesting. It shows an SU7 on a parking lot, crashing into a Chery QQ that was parked there. Perhaps the auto-park function didn't notice the small QQ and went for it? There have been reports in Chinese media that insurance companies are refusing to insure the SU7. Xiaomi and the insurers have stated that these reports are false. We will try to find out more about insurance prices for the SU7. The RWD SU7 Pro has 220 kW, the AWD Max has 673 kW and the AWD Ultra has 1138 kW. When the SU7 launched, there was a problem with the brakes. This has since been fixed, according to Xiaomi. Also, the launch of the Ultra has led to some debate in China, about whether it is wise to sell a 1138 kW (1548 hp) car to anyone who can afford it. And with a $72.7K price tag, that's a lot of people. Xiaomi #ChineseCars #China Porsche #Crash #CarCrash #CarNews

Firefly will have its own separate battery-swap-station network, with container-sized swapping stations, much smaller than the current NIO swap stations. As far as we know, NIO hasn't started the construction of this new network yet, busy as the company is with expanding and improving its current network.
