“上个月，苹果公司放弃了制造电动汽车的梦想，而这家制造iPhone的公司在中国最大竞争对手之一正在向它展示，自己是如何做到的。”美国“商业内幕”新闻网站3月29日发文这样说。
“商业内幕”在文章中介绍了小米SU7的售价以及在发布会后迅速增长的订单数量等信息。文章称，对于雷军来说，这次发布会标志着一个“非凡的壮举”：在他的公司表示要从消费电子产品进军电动汽车领域仅3年后，他的电动汽车就成功实现上市销售。

英国《金融时报》称，小米的第一款汽车仅用了3年时间就取得了成果，凸显了中国竞争激烈、世界领先的电动汽车行业的发展速度，以及科技公司争夺市场份额的渴望。另一家领先的中国智能手机制造商华为也凭借其鸿蒙智行品牌取得了进展，其问界M7车型是今年到目前为止中国第四畅销的电动汽车。
“商业内幕”文章称，与苹果一样，小米也以销售智能手机而闻名。数据显示，今年前六周，小米在中国智能手机市场的份额为 13.8%，仅次于苹果的15.7%。“因此，一个值得一问的问题是，小米是如何做到苹果花了十年时间去做的事情的？”文章写道。

“商业内幕”称，决定终止其电动汽车项目之前，苹果公司在生产方面遇到了几个问题，促使该公司考虑对其自动驾驶汽车采取不那么雄心勃勃的设计，因此即使没有终止造车项目，其发布的时间也可能推迟到2028年。据彭博社报道，2020年，苹果公司在亚利桑那州的一个测试跑道上测试了自动驾驶原型汽车。但是，由于还有大量工作需要做，苹果公司越来越难以证明每年在汽车项目上投入约10亿美元是合理的。
“反观小米公司，他们则成功地利用了中国现有的电动汽车产业基础。”文章称，据报道，与北汽集团的合作让小米受益匪浅。这种合作关系可以帮助小米每年生产约20万辆电动汽车。
《金融时报》称，荷兰智库“Clingendael”的中国汽车市场专家泰希奥·德·费伊特尔说，“中国企业不怕尝试以前没有做过的事情……而像苹果这样的（集团）规模太大，无法迅速做出决策。”
“商业内幕”最后写道，当然，小米并不会仅仅因为现在准备销售电动汽车就能确保取得成功。尽管如此，小米还是成功实现了苹果已经梦想十年的项目。库克可能不得不从库比蒂诺（苹果总部所在地）远远看着，看看原本可以发生什么。

新闻译文：
On the evening of March 28th, Lei Jun, founder, chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi Group, announced the launch of Xiaomi Motors at a press conference. The Xiaomi SU7 quickly became a hot topic on the internet and also attracted the attention of domestic media such as the United States and the United Kingdom. Some of them mentioned that Apple recently announced that it would abandon car manufacturing.

"Last month, Apple gave up its dream of manufacturing electric cars, and one of its biggest competitors in China, the company that makes iPhones, is showing it how it has done it," the US "Business Insider" news website said in an article on March 29th.
"Business Insider" introduces the price of Xiaomi SU7 and the rapidly increasing number of orders after the launch event in the article. The article states that for Lei Jun, this press conference marks an "extraordinary feat": just three years after his company announced its intention to enter the electric vehicle field from consumer electronics, his electric vehicle successfully went on sale.

The financial Times reported that Xiaomi's first car achieved results in just three years, highlighting the development speed of China's fiercely competitive and world leading electric vehicle industry, as well as the desire of technology companies to compete for market share. Another leading Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, has also made progress with its Hongmeng Zhixing brand, and its Wenjie M7 model is the fourth best-selling electric vehicle in China so far this year.
The article "Business Insider" states that like Apple, Xiaomi is also known for selling smartphones. Data shows that in the first six weeks of this year, Xiaomi's share in the Chinese smartphone market was 13.8%, second only to Apple's 15.7%. "Therefore, a question worth asking is, how did Xiaomi achieve what Apple spent ten years doing?" the article wrote.

"Business Insider" said that before deciding to terminate its electric vehicle project, Apple encountered several problems in production, which prompted the company to consider adopting less ambitious design for its autonomous vehicle. Therefore, even if the production project was not terminated, its release time might be postponed to 2028. according to Bloomberg, in 2020, Apple tested a prototype autonomous driving car on a test track in Arizona. However, as there is still a lot of work to be done, Apple is finding it increasingly difficult to justify investing approximately $1 billion annually in automotive projects.
"On the other hand, Xiaomi has successfully utilized China's existing electric vehicle industry foundation." The article states that according to reports, Xiaomi has benefited greatly from its cooperation with BAIC Group. This partnership can help Xiaomi produce approximately 200000 electric vehicles annually.
The Financial Times reported that Taichio de Feittel, a Chinese automotive market expert at the Dutch think tank Clingendael, said, "Chinese companies are not afraid to try things they have not done before... and groups like Apple are too large to make quick decisions."
"Business Insider" concludes, of course, Xiaomi will not guarantee success just because it is preparing to sell electric vehicles now. Nevertheless, Xiaomi has successfully achieved the project that Apple has been dreaming of for ten years. Cook may have to watch from afar from Cupertino (the location of Apple headquarters) to see what could have happened.
