Recently, "the axle broke after driving a Xiaomi SU7 over a potholed road section" has attracted the attention of netizens. According to Xiaomi's official statement, the driver crossed the road at a speed of about 70km/h (a sign warning of the 20km/h speed limit was hung on this section of the road). Driving on a damaged/potholed road, due to the aforementioned improper driving behavior, parts of the vehicle body hit the edge of the pothole, causing damage to the right rear tire, wheel hub, suspension and other parts of the vehicle after the impact.
Later, the car owner’s latest statement in an interview was, “An accident occurred while passing through a downhill section. The tire burst and the swing arm broke. I questioned the quality of the SU7 swing arm. At the same time, I was not drunk driving at the time.”
At that time, many netizens felt sorry for the car owner, but now it seems that Xiaomi was wrongly blamed.
The car owner involved in the incident posted a long response on Douyin yesterday, admitting to deceiving netizens but swearing that he drank alcohol only after the accident.
Now, the car owner has reiterated his attitude on the matter and decided to repair it at his own expense without any explanation.
The man said: "I'm sorry, I deceived you a little bit, but my original intention was to find you to solve the car problem, or to give us a data explanation. I didn't expect that a certain company also took charge of investigating drunk driving. To put it bluntly, do these things have anything to do with you?
In addition, the statement also responded to the issue of top bags, "The first mistake started. My wife said she drove it. Why did my wife say she drove it? Because of her ignorance, she thought it was the car owner who thought she could handle this matter. I'm sorry." "The second mistake started. Dad also knew that he had a glass of beer. Later, my father’s friend said that he drove the car, and while the insurance officer was recording the screen, he said that if he succeeded in substituting the car and it was found that the car was stolen, he would go to jail. Then my father immediately took the initiative to admit that he drove the car. When the insurance officer said this, everyone was confused. Although he admitted it in the end, it did have a bad impact on everyone. "
