This echoes what Ford CEO @jimfarley98 said about the SU7. I visited the factory in Beijing. It’s all quite impressive. And Lei Jun decided to build a car about the same time Apple was exploring it. And he got it done - a done quite well. 1/2 In this video (start 0:30) Lei Jun walks through their creation process. Must watch. Especially if you (1) have anything to do with the US car business, or (2) are doubtful about Chinese innovation. Clear eyes. 👀 https://t.co/QxHsFyezd2

Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

I lived with a Chinese EV for a few weeks to see if the hype is real. The car costs $42K, and turns out it feels like $75K+ EASILY One of the most impressive things I've ever reviewed: https://t.co/JmA0j9qo4q - A+ software and features. Feels like what would happen if Apple made a car - Build quality is excellent all the way around. And materials (leathers, metals, etc) are all premium - It crushes all the fundamentals to make it livable: 320 miles range, super comfortable seats, excellent air suspension, active noise cancellation, great displays and cameras, bright clear HUD, Self driving - It has a MODULAR interior design (detailed in the video) - Performance is sneaky great. This is just the "SU7 Max" spec, but 660 horsepower 0-60 in 2.8 seconds? Sheesh
