fordmantpw Posted December 8, 2025 Share Posted December 8, 2025 Is this like all the cheap Chinese things you can buy off Amazon? It works perfectly for the first week, then things quit working and suddenly blue tooth doesn't connect and then you have to send it back and buy the more expensive item like you should have done the first time? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiaomi SU7 has the highest initial quality rating in its segment, pretty sure that means longer than the first week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's so popular in the home market that Xiaomi Auto is havin' trouble building enough. Them Chinese customers have to wait more than a year to take delivery 07.07.2025 - 09:26 Xiaomi has started deliveries of its first electric SUV, the YU7, across 58 Chinese cities, but production bottlenecks have stretched wait times to as long as 14 months. The model recorded over 240,000 orders within 18 hours of launch, intensifying capacity constraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Record, I buy tons of Chinese stuff off of Amazon. The Quality of the vast majority of those products is fine. Except for this one item, which is too cheap to replace with something 3 times more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 Most Chinese electronic things I buy just suck. Bluetooth is flaky, wifi drops regularly, the app sucks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy product A that is supposed to do X, Y, and Z. It doesn't do X properly, Y or all, and the app doesn't even show the option for Z. How on earth is that a me problem? WTH?

OK, maybe I should specify designed and marketed by Chinese companies. The QC difference between items designed and marketed by Chinese and those that aren't are worlds apart.

Actually, my Lenovo experience is less than stellar compared to the Dell machines I swear by. I've never been in a Volvo. But, I don't think those are available on Amazon yet. Oh wait, I did see you can buy used vehicles on Amazon now, so maybe they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 10, 2025 Share Posted December 10, 2025 Clearly there is a ton of cheap Chinese junk for sale, but there are also good products that just happen to be built in China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
