The Chinese company, which is largely known for its smartphones and home appliances, reiterated plans to deliver 100,000 SU7 vehicles by the end of November. Xiaomi first revealed plans to make cars in 2021 and began building a dedicated manufacturing plant the same year.

The company released the basic version of the SU7, its first car, in late March for about $4,000 less than Tesla's cheapest car — Model 3 — in China at the time. Tesla subsequently cut the car's price by about $2,000. Xiaomi has delivered more than 75,000 SU7 cars to date, including October's figures.
