The maintenance to keep milk in good shape is not the same as the maintenance to keep a car in good shape.
I assume Xiaomi could be betting that their customers will buy enough Xiaomi maintenance/repair parts over the years that the original loss is worth it.
Charge less for the car today. Charge more for repairs tomorrow.
I’m sure it’s a sustainable business model to bet on some customers getting only authorized repairs, in excess of how much money the company blew on the initial sale, all so they can reap that sweet, sweet, 0.1% profit margin.
Discounting milk to sell steak is not the same as discounting cars to sell… cars.
