Reasons behind the Luxeed S7 delay:

Huawei CEO explains that Luxeed S7 launch delay is mainly due to the chip shortage and factory relocation which has pushed off the overall mass production. However, things seem to turn back to normal in the next month.

Adding more, Yu says that Huawei doesn’t prefer to make more smart car selections due to a lack of resources that can only build four model rooms. Yet, he believes that the company will successfully release the transformation of smart cars via its solutions and technologies.

“Due to various reasons, our costs are still on the high side. We are wholeheartedly helping Chinese car companies achieve business results in the transformation and upgrading of cars in the era of intelligence, electrification, and connectivity.”
