China Observer: Huawai S800 Launch -- Caught Faking & Gaming Their Maybach Comparison




This video was played at the Huawei Zunjie S800 launch event on February 20. To show off just how impressive the Zunjie S800's smart chassis is, they brought in a Mercedes-Maybach S680 for a side-by-side comparison. At 50 km/h, the Zunjie’s screen boldly displayed: “No dust, no shattered glass, no trace of water.” That was some low-key flexing. Meanwhile, the Maybach was kicking up clouds of white sand, its glass was shattering, and water splashed everywhere. The difference in chassis technology was so obvious—it was like the Zunjie was wiping the floor with the Maybach.
Then came the snow-climbing test. The Maybach struggled, its wheels slipping and spinning, unable to make it up the slope. In the end, it slid back down in spectacular fashion. The Zunjie, on the other hand, handled it like a pro, effortlessly cruising to the top.


They deflated the Maybach's tires, only showed failed events after repeatedly retrying tests to cause failures, misrepresented purpose of a Maybach car rental and then damaged the vehicle and jamming the car's owner. Drove the Maybach on snow with street tires while the S800 had snow tires. Other things.
