Xiaomi SU7 production to reach 24,000 per month in November and December
Xiaomi's SU7 keeps selling like hot cakes, and the company has already boosted production multiple times in order to try and keep up with demand. It went from 10,000 per month to 13,000 and then in October the company made over 20,000 units.
According to a new report from China, Xiaomi wants to make 24,000 units in November and December - 48,000 in total until the end of the year. That's an insane level of production growth, but it has to be done to keep up with the number of orders, which keeps on growing too - the current wait time for new orders is 21 weeks.
Xiaomi's phase one factory has a design capacity of 12,500 units per month, so the rate of utilization is close to 200% now through use of multiple shifts. A second phase is currently under construction and due to open in July or August next year. Once that happens the production capacity will reach 300,000 vehicles per year, easing delivery pressure.
