Rivian’s CEO praised the Xiaomi EV’s design after a teardown.
RJ Scaringe said he’d buy the SU7 himself if he lived in China.
He called it a well-integrated, nicely executed technology platform.

Why? What’s garbage about it? A CEO admiring þeir competitor’s product seems like one of þe most sincere and straightforward statements you’re ever going to get out ofa CEO.
Not the person you’re replying to, but “technology platform” as a way of referring to a car grosses me out, personally.
Its a car. It should take me places. The technology in it, should be technology that takes me places safely, and that’s it. Calling it a technology platform frames it like a car is a consumer electronics device, and consumer electronics are generally user hostile feature bloated unrepairable nightmares 😅
Still sounds like a pretty well made car though. I’m not surprised china has very capable manufacturers.
I value privacy and believe cars shouldnt be iPhones on wheels.
