Extreme Altitudes, Dangerous Roads & Stunning Views! AMAZING EV Road Trip!
This is the hardest thing I've ever recorded. We took a NIO ET5 touring from Chengdu to Shangri-la, covering 1000km in 5 days and driving at altitudes over 5000m! Oxygen deprived, underprepared but left stunned at the sheer beauty.

    The Icarus metaphor is misplaced. Yes, the mythical Icarus and the extant Xiaomi share a certain cockiness but Icarus died and despite inadequate forethought on Xiaomi's part (that affected very few people) Xiaomi's cars are as popular as ever. Icarus was cocky and foolhardy, viz. unjustifiably cocky, but Xiaomi's cockiness was more justifiable - there was real engineering there but it fell a bit short for SU7 owners taking their cars to a racing track. Evidently Xiaomi is accepting the responsibility to upgrade the brakes which doesn't mean that the SU7 MAX becomes a track car.

      I arrived around a similar time. Back in 2011. And from driving the BYD F3DM which was...well it had four wheels. To the first gen BYD Tang, which had 550hp and 0-100 in 4.9s, but also had brake like milk tops. I can definitely say things have moved on in a very big way. Nowadays in the Changsha all the taxis are BYD E5s, and many many Didi's are also BYDs, I'd say those abused vehicles are holding up considerably well, as well as the old VW Jettas being used before.

    One thing I learned is that if the car is not marketed as a track car, and you don’t know what it takes to drive fast other then pressing the gas pedal, then don’t take it to the track, period. Even for performance oriented cars, I would recommend having someone who knows their stuff examining the entire brake system before you go. Take the new M4 for example, many people don’t know that there is a cover in the front wheel arch that you should remove to open the channel which leads to an intake at the front bumper to cool the brake rotors. And because of the fact that the new M4 is brake by wire, the system automatically adjusts the pressure on the callipers by computer, hence it is really hard for amateur drivers to realize that the brakes are over heating until total failure. This is not a problem just for Xiaomi, it is just a problem that is becoming increasingly common due to EVs in general introducing power figure that was obviously reserved for selected few in the not so distant past, but at a much more accessible price. And therefore, you get more drivers who have no respect for speed and power, handling the kind of power that they are not supposed to possess.

      I was talking about how insane it is that the Xiaomi SU7 ultra is gunna costs as little as it does for a legit 1500hp. And even if it has ceramic brakes…that just means the brakes will resist fade, but you still need to know what you are doing.

    Are the production car certified to be driven like maniac on the track? That is not a normal use case. Would the breaks fail driving on normal roads

      answered both in the video Edit: Seems the original comment changed a little. In the video I clearly stated that brakes for road going cars are made for on-road performance, and it’s unreasonable to assume they can keep up with on-track demands. And I stated anyone who tracks a car knows you need to at least upgrade the brake pads, brake fluid and even better the brake lines to stainless steel. However on the flip side. Xiaomi enjoyed a lot of viral ads and videos they put out of the SU7 Max on track. Of course there are small disclaimers, but we know in reality people don’t read such information. So it wasn’t surprising to see people take than to the track emulating what they had seen online only to have brake problems. That was obviously going to happen because people are dumb. Lol

    Cool. But beware of current (water, not electric)!

      HAHAHA! Actually I didn't go massively into depth, but it will (or does already have) the ability to track GPS while floating and help to keep you drifting too far.

      To think there could be a more niche version of polo than canoe polo hahaha.

      It’s a crazy feature. But it speaks to the lengths Chinese OEMs go in development. Showing many doubters who think the Chinese can’t innovate…
