So don't shout 90,009, it's impossible!But anyone with this kind of performance and configuration has to be more than 400,000!So 140,009 doesn't need to talk about it anymore, but we still have to respect technology!Previously, Lei Jun also revealed that Xiaomi Su7's ** is indeed a bit expensive, but it is expensive for a reason, and it will definitely exceed everyone's expectations in terms of experience.
