Lei Jun Live-Streams Disassembly of Xiaomi YU7 to Address Public Concerns

[Product Transparency] Lei Jun has postponed the live-streamed disassembly of the Xiaomi YU7 to January 3, 2026, to showcase its body structure and core technologies.

Core Development: Disassembled Vehicle Will Be Reassembled but Not Sold

Lei Jun confirmed that engineers will fully reassemble the disassembled YU7 and subject it to rigorous quality inspections, but explicitly stated the vehicle will not enter sales channels and may instead be used for testing purposes in the future. In response to online suggestions to "live-stream the reassembly," Lei admitted, "Many people already struggle to understand the disassembly process."

Key Specifications: Safety Design Recognized by Industry Experts

The YU7 features an A-pillar made of 2200MPa ultra-high-strength steel, Cell-to-Body (CTB) integrated battery-chassis technology, a four-layer collision energy-path system, and a "wheel-detachment-for-survival" safety mechanism. Its high investment in passive safety and manufacturing processes has received recognition from certain industry experts.

Strategic Foundation: Rebuilding Trust Through Transparency

By hosting the disassembly livestream, Lei Jun directly confronts public skepticism, emphasizing "do not deliberately smear" the product, and aims to establish a fact-based communication framework. He also acknowledged that competition in the smart EV space relies not only on hardware—software remains a long-term challenge.
