Xiaomi recently urged suppliers to lift component production with the company, targeting monthly output of 10,000 units, with demand for high end models such as the SU7 Max said to be particularly strong.

The company’s original plan was to lift output from an initial 3,000 units in March to around 5,000 units in April.

Total deliveries this year were expected to come in at between 60,000 and 80,000 units with current delivery times for confirmed orders ranging between 20 and 31 weeks, depending on specification.
