Lei Jun talks about Xiaomi's electric motor not using a subcontracted factory: to avoid being called "supplier technology".

On September 25th, Xiaomi founder and Chairman/CEO Lei Jun stated that the Xiaomi V8s super motor was made in Xiaomi's own factory, without using any outsourcing factories. Because if they used outsourcing factories, it would be said that "this technology is from the supplier." So, this time the motor must be done by themselves. "Actually, it's quite expensive for us to do it ourselves, to be honest," Lei Jun said.
