Xiaomi's Entry To An Already Crowded EV Market Could Make Things Even Worse For Tesla
Portfolio Pulse from Upwallstreet
Xiaomi Corporation is entering the EV market, intensifying competition for Tesla Inc. Tesla raised Model Y prices in the US but cut Shanghai production due to competition and slow growth in China. Xiaomi's first EV, the SU7 sedan, received 120,000 pre-orders in 36 hours. Despite a slowdown in China's EV market growth, Xiaomi's entry with a sporty EV priced below Tesla's Model 3 could exacerbate Tesla's challenges. Tesla's vehicle deliveries in China dropped by 6% YoY in the first two months of 2024.
