// MARKET TRIGGER — T1 PARTIALLY TRIGGERED

Monitoring Trigger T1 tracks the first independent real-world test of the 2026 SU7 from automotive media (Dongchedi, autohome, InsideEVs, or equivalent). As of March 31, 2026, T1 has partially triggered.

What Has Been Published

On March 20, 2026, Yiche.com published an independent range test for the SU7 Pro [V]:

  • Comprehensive range: 785 km — 87% of 902 km CLTC baseline
  • Highway at 85 km/h: 327 km — 72.5% of CLTC
  • Test conditions: 0-10C ambient, 24C cabin HVAC, dual occupant

Additional data points confirmed: Pro trim battery capacity 96.3 kWh [C — Dongchedi]. Max trim capacity 101.7 kWh [C — Dongchedi]. Max trim charging C-rate 5.2C [C — Kuai Keji].

What Is Still Pending

The critical remaining component: first independent charging curve at a real public (non-Xiaomi) DC fast charger. This test will either confirm or challenge the 12-minute claim under real-world infrastructure conditions.

Expected timing: Q2 2026. Sources to watch: Dongchedi fleet test program, autohome charging comparison series.
