I recently put a deposit down on the Xiaopaiche SC01 - set to be released next year, with Xiaomi backing and investment. I wanted to make a little series about how the process with buying this goes - hopefully with a test drive and factory tour of some sort. Lets see how it goes!

ABOUT ME: I'm Elliot, I love cars and love driving. I have been living in China for a while and want to share the cars that are only available in China to a global audience. I hope you enjoy watching the video as much as I enjoy making it! Any suggestions for cars you would like me to test next, pop it in the comments :)
*I am not being paid by anyone, not the manufacturers or the rental company, to make these videos.

EV's largest weakness is weight, excellent that they went with the lotus style.

@manuelight Год назад

hope it’s not a deathtrap like the older lotus were

@kumbackquatsta Год назад

very exciting elliott. can't wait til you get your hands on it and make content

@electricelliotrichards Год назад

You and me both!

I got to say it's a looker it has Lancia Stratos and a Ferrari 296 GTB but it's still a very good-looking car he needs to bring it worldwide thought or it will not be as successful as it can be As someone who loves to make things I appreciate his work and it will definitely inspire more and more people and He should get in contact with the organizers at the Riyadh Car Show they are looking for interesting car's from around the world and they will take care of the cost of shipping the car and his accommodation And if I had the money I would definitely pay for this car It's a very simple and good-looking car and It's light Just like what a lotus is

@iGetComputersPuting 14 дней назад

This is exactly what I want. I want a light weight, stripped down on the fancy features, pure driving experience, and at an affordable price.

@reginald7214 Год назад

Looks awesome, have fun

Good looking, A lot of Lancia Stradale influence 👌

@tgdomnemo5052 Год назад

Oh, in a year. I'll be back in, say, 12 months then ...

@IDann1 Год назад

Good idea, their will be a market for something focused on the driving experience as you said.

@electricelliotrichards Год назад

Absolutely

@justjohn7529 Год назад

the MX5 Mazda should have made

@TestTest-eb8jr Год назад

I WANT ONE!!! (the in-screen link to the creators' YT channel doesn't seem to work @Elliot)

@RPRosen-ki2fk Год назад

I'm surprised you didn't compare this to ... Rimac. It sounds like Mate Rimac's early years as a car enthusiast.

@electricelliotrichards Год назад

Its slightly above the price bracket of this one! But I agree.

@examinerian Год назад

It really looks nice - good one, Elliott! I had similar thoughts about the Aptera, even though I'm in NE UK. Still, I popped a reservation fee down on one - I figure that EVs should break boundaries - mainstream OEMs simply banging a motor in a traditional design don't really get me interested. This SC01 is a nice way to go about it - less is more! Oh, yeah, and of we ever meet on the road in our respective rides, race you to the next set of lights...?😁

game on!

@kamrentillis5493 Год назад

Is there a link to the website I can use to put down a deposit

@electricelliotrichards Год назад

@@kamrentillis5493 Theres no website - you do it through Wechat. Follow them and then there's an option to buy.

@kamrentillis5493 Год назад

What's the link to the website I wanna put a deposit down

@edwardfletcher7790 Год назад

If they can actually make this decent quality and export it, they'll do incredibly well 👍 It's easily the best looking Chinese car I've ever seen...

@janissaryone1906 4 месяца назад

One of the big hurdles for sales outside of China would be crash safety. If they haven't designed it from the ground up to meet safety standards then it's unlikely they'll be able to sell it overseas. Any statements from the designers on that front?

@dennyh66 4 месяца назад

It’s tube chassis… it’s basically race car grade roll cage all over the car. So that’s a non issue.

@Docinaplane 4 месяца назад

How can I contact the company and be on the list to get one? Thank you!

@ScottMeltzer-ty3xo Год назад

Will this car be sold in the United States? If so, how do I put down a deposit? Thanks

@electricelliotrichards Год назад

I think its unlikely - but you might be able to import it?

@knuth.nyhagen82 Год назад

Hi! Great news! But I want one too - for EU/Norway (same rules - less tax in Norway though)

@electricelliotrichards Год назад

Wait until its out first - we are still waiting.

I would like a decent size screen for GPS reason and in parking mode only video watching ( entertainment well charging at a public charging station) good comfortable seats. A nice feeling diel/knob for controlling the temperature from the ac and nice feeling buttons for other stuff ( the screen on the side should only be for GPS and video in parking mode anything else should be hardware buttons and diel/knob) For reference a cherry mx mechanical keyboard have nice feeling buttons and the jds element for diel/know feel

@iGetComputersPuting 14 дней назад

I think it would be smarter for Chinese companies to make an affordable sports car that competes in the Mustang/Camaro market, rather than the Lotus market.

@davidstuart4915 Год назад

its now mid 2023, whats the latest news?

@electricelliotrichards Год назад

Look at my other video I just made about this.

@daytriker Год назад

Exactly the sort of car I would buy. Do away with all the electronic nannies & video games & give me a car that retains what a car is supposed to be - DRIVEN.

@aaronlamar2580 Год назад

Where do I preorder lol. No seriously? 😅help

@electricelliotrichards Год назад

On their wechat account - you might need to be in China to pay in RMB

My friend, What's the link to the website I wanna put a deposit down, too.

Go to wechat, and follow SC01 channel (search for SC01) - then there's a link there in Chinese to view more info.@@chevynissan9694

I wonder if the Chinese economy will still be around in 12 months.

@reyfetsalmo3346 Год назад

Make a bet on it? The entire world economy depend on Chinese economy.

@LightWingStudios Год назад

@@reyfetsalmo3346 You need to keep up on current events. Their housing market is imploding and they will take an $8 TRILLION HIT when it does.

You should probably exchange your news sources for something which doesn't throw reality out the window to cater to the particular western anti China hopium collective.

@LightWingStudios Год назад

@@ensteffo Yeah...a COLLAPSING Real Estate sector and 200 Million people in Covid lockdown. What could go wrong?

Will a global superpower exist in 12 months? Look into changing your channel name to LightWeight Studios, because you ask asinine questions.

I am getting weekly updates - they are still building it, currently its gone through wind tunnel testing and materials for the steering hub, interior trims etc. I can do another update.

@garystorm799 Год назад

The RU-vid channel link to the guy's channel didn't appear for me. Could you add it to the description please? Looks like fun btw! I know it's totally different design-wise, but I remember my first car (1970 Mini), it was slow, but felt SO fast because it was so low. It was basic, and that was part of the charm.

I like the rethinking about the need for gadgets but it's a shame they are not rethinking the chassis and are just making a clone of a fossil vehicle.
