Protecting you *in* a crash is not the same as protecting you *from* a crash. Tesla drivers actually have the highest accidents of any auto brand.

@10secondsrule 2 месяца назад

They should go on the track then or face the criminal offence. Sorry I do not understand this leniency towards drivers. In the UK motorbike riders are prosecuted often but drivers not so much. Elon started this stupid trend of pointless over the top acceleration figures which impresses mostly idiots and those are the last people that should have an access to it. But he will give them a mandatory introduction to his beta "self driving" instead. The guy is a moron.

@koma-k 2 месяца назад

@@10secondsruleyou can't switch off TC and ESP in the Teslas though(*), and their implementation is really good. Heck, even the Bolt has 200+ HP - more than the FWD setup can handle at low speed, but it does mean it can overtake safely in more situations. Same with our Model S and Y (both non-performance models, but plenty quick) - knowing I have enough power and dependable ESP means being able to get into dense traffic from a side road much easier and safer than the underpowered Toyota that enters traffic anyway causing hard braking behind it. I'd also argue that the acceleration figures "trend" has been here for almost as long as modern cars have existed, but to make a point that EVs aren't "boring" Tesla chose to give their family cars sports car performance. Porsche did the same when they launched the Cayenne ten years prior to the MS becoming available, so I call BS on that claim. *: Well, it's possible to switch off all assistance, but you have to enter "secret" modes and ignore warnings about not using them on public roads.

But why do the Teslas with similar performance have not that issue? Evidently the car has serious issues regarding handling.

@koma-k 2 месяца назад

@@user-hq8lb1yv9k Tesla doesn't let you switch off ESP and traction control... the Xiaomi letting its tail loose looks like TC/ESP is completely switched off. Can't say if it has a handling issue, as what was shown looked more like driver error. Of course it could be that it *also* likes to "surprise" drivers (IIRC at least the older Porsche 911s are know for snap oversteer), but until some experienced drivers deliver their verdicts I'm leaning towards driver error.

@captainjayc9217 2 месяца назад

If I remember correctly, that car model has multiple driving modes. If the driver sticks with comfort mode and sport mode, he won't get into problem like tail spin. But if the driver switches to something like a custom mode (don't remember the name), he can do whatever he wants with the car including tail spin. That can be fun in a race track with no other car. But that can be very dangerous on a street with many cars around. The bottom line is those drivers are most likely idiots.

😂 EV are barely faster in acceleration and are trash around turns. It would appear this car lacks proper stability control, traction control, and the right set of tires.

@ralphzoombeenie2330 or gradually unlock more available power at set KM/Hours driven. But maybe have some kind of test for experienced drivers to bypass it.

@LH1xx 2 месяца назад

The problem is the acceleration is too fast and those inexperienced youngsters don't know how to handle a fast sport car and crash and then blame the car.

I've seen something like this before. Most people today have never driven a RWD car. It's not the tc, it's that people aren't used to RWD and power. My first car was a 318 v8 Dart. Then a 396 Chevelle SS with mods. I now drive a Subaru BRZ/FRS; when I shopped for the car, I saw endless ones wrecked on the front fender the same way. It's got handling compared to >$100,000 cars, super nimble and balanced, which inspires confidence and fun. In turn (pun) people think they can floor it on a corner and drift like a pro.... and quickly back off and get snap oversteer. They've watched more videos than they've driven. The BRZ/FRS also has a Torsen differential, that makes it really fun to drive... but snappy. And worse, to get more mpg AND to make it more fun, they came with hard Prius tires... very slippery. I'm going to say the Xiamomi needs to moderate the power to the outside wheel when turning (or maybe it's just one?) and have an ECO mode that changes the acceleration curve on corners. Not traction control - which will fight the rear stepping out, but then make snap recovery tricky if it happens. Do a search for BRZ/FRS and junk yard. They'll all be wrecked on one of the front fenders, like these Xiaomis. I saw the thumbnail and thought "ah, quality control" but after seeing the video and damage I'm thinking "is that an EV version of my car?".

If you have no idea how to handle a 650 hp car, don't effin' get or drive one! These things are weapons and should be treated as such! I almost crashed an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio because the rear tires slipped in the rain, but I knew how to get the car back under control. If you don't have enough experience with a powerful car and driving situation at the edge of control, take it easy and book some time on the racetrack or at a safety training course!

@1InVader1 2 месяца назад

If it's the self-driving acting up, it's a software recall, but more then likely it's just a bunch of inexperienced drivers. This is probably going to be my first high performance car too, and the first thing I'm going to do with it is attend an advanced driving and car control course, then probably also a racing course. Imo attending this kind of course should be mandatory for non-FWD cars over 400HP (a new "performance" class on the license).

@user-mb5ox5iw4f 2 месяца назад

Hi Sam, great that you report about the SU7. Regarding quality problems, that might be possible as it is the first car by Xiaomi, however, most reports on chin media are rather very positive, there is huge attention and the competition (most in deep water) seem to be very afraid and ready to explore any neg aspects. Again, it might be possible but I still do not see much evidence in this regard...Axel PS I'll keep you posted on the issue.

@pokehunter7078 Месяц назад

I did a test drive in the Zeekr 007 AWD (not performance) a couple of weeks ago. I floored it while in sports mode, the rear passengers screamed! I was extremely careful and only took the car from 30 to 60km /h. The car can do 0 - 100 km/h within 3.5 seconds. If I was driving it like a maniac without caution, I would have easily crashed it. The Xiaomi CEO himself took the car on a 15 hour road trip. So I have my doubts as to the traction condition issues you mentioned.

So there are a ton of articles on the crashes. Two of the ones you listed are from last year long before the realease. The one in the snow was the first crash in the SU7. That information has been on the internet for a long time. I guess we shouldn't expect an internet journalist to do any research. More the Anchorman 2 approach. Speculate and make the news up.

@sullivanrachael 2 месяца назад

I’d say the car was SO damn good it means the weak link is tyres, road conditions, AND, the human inside. It’s possible the car grips and accelerates really well but unlike more traditional vehicles - the edge of traction perhaps is unforgiving - maybe this car gives no clue the driver has reached the edge of its grip on the road. Sports cars traditionally are built to be lightweight and agile. EVs are different in that they are heavy, but with the ability to put out full torque from standstill.

@EvilAbed 2 месяца назад

Typical Xiaomi. They'll make phones with the highest specs and the best hardware, while neglecting the software and overall design. People will accept a high-spec phone being occasionally buggy, but in a car it could be fatal.

@kevinledgister5252 2 месяца назад

So many crashes point to design flaws that lead to instability under normal driving conditions. The high amount of torque reveals those flaws.

Hopefully these issues are all solveable! It's an amazing looking car at a great price. TBH I wouldn't put it past other car companies to pay testers to crash them on purpose. Not saying I think that's happening, just wouldn't be surprised. Traction control should hopefully be easy to dial in soon.

Su7 definitely has traction control. But it also has so-called “custom drive mode”, which allow driver completely configure everything including traction control. That could be a problem

I've prohibited my son from driving the electric vehicle with the red plate because it's undeniably faster than many high-performance cars. Entering full auto-driving mode requires thorough familiarity with the vehicle, as it could potentially be a tactic by competitors to tarnish its reputation. Until further investigation, scepticism remains warranted; sometimes, things seem too good to be true. However, I had assumed the company conducted ample test drives before the launch. The significant number of test drive crashes shortly after the launch seems too much of a coincidence.

@edwardlee8044 2 месяца назад

The required modifications will undoubtedly be implemented prior to the launch to guarantee the product aligns with the predetermined criteria. The company acknowledges the possible repercussions on its image if any complications surface. Neglecting these matters could significantly affect their upcoming ventures within the automotive sector. The company's meticulous attention to detail is apparent, standing in contrast to the regrettable incidents linked to Boeing's aircraft launches. The Chinese company exhibits a cautious demeanor in their deliberative procedures.

Turn off the track and drift mode and don't give out Max edition for test drives. And ask the test drivers to prove themselves of the worth first tbh.
