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.

    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.
