When buying a car these days, it's generally better to choose newly released models, as getting those popular ones is quite a challenge! Some cars have incredibly long delivery times. For example, the most sought-after product in 2024 is the Xiaomi SU7. Currently, there are several hot models on the market, with delivery times ranging from one or two months to several months or even a year [doge]. Salespeople are often vague about delivery times, giving only rough estimates, and these "rough estimates" can be quite unsettling. The delivery times shown on the app are just for reference, and the actual situation is often very different. So, besides preparing the money, you also need to arm yourself with a lot of patience when buying a car. The days spent waiting for your beloved car to arrive can be quite agonizing.

Of course, car manufacturers are aware that this shortage is temporary. To prevent order cancellations, they might even pay you a daily compensation if the delivery exceeds a certain number of days [smile]. This makes the wait much more bearable—as long as they're paying, I can wait [haha]. Slow deliveries aren’t a big deal; everything’s negotiable.
