High demand for Xiaomi’s SU7 Electric Car causes 7-month delivery wait: The SU7 sedan, Xiaomi’s inaugural electric vehicle, has generated an unparalleled level of consumer interest. The overwhelming number of 88,898 pre-orders received within the first twenty-four hours indicates that Xiaomi has successfully resonated with potential purchasers. However, the unanticipated challenge of a protracted delivery waiting period has arisen due to the surge in demand.
Potential buyers of Xiaomi’s SU7 face lengthy delivery times, sometimes up to seven months. Even the most enthusiastic customers can’t afford Xiaomi’s delivery delay, yet its sleek appearance and cutting-edge features are irresistible.

The regular SU7, which costs $29,870 or 215,900 yuan, should arrive in 18–21 weeks. Similarly, the SU7 Pro and AWD SU7 Max are expected to arrive at the same time, with identical lead periods. The initial batch of 5,000 Xiaomi “Founder’s Edition” sold out promptly, leaving many hopeful buyers impatiently awaiting a second release.
Given the rapid acceptance of pre-orders and Xiaomi’s track record of simplified manufacture and distribution in several product areas, the prolonged delivery periods have surprised many. Xiaomi struggles to satisfy customers due to the high volume of orders.
Xiaomi is hopeful about the SU7’s competitive EV market prospects despite delays. The Pro variant’s 830-kilometer (516-mile) range makes it a serious challenger to recognized manufacturers. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has also announced ambitious automotive industry objectives and a long-term commitment to innovation and expansion.
Xiaomi must manage consumer anticipation for the SU7 cars and maintain momentum in a fast-changing industry. Xiaomi’s entry into the electric vehicle market is alluring, but the extended delivery times may deter buyers. The entire automobile industry will watch Xiaomi balance demand for its groundbreaking electric vehicle with supply chain efficiency in the coming months.
