On the afternoon of July 31, 2026, Xu Jieyun, a representative from Xiaomi Group, took to Weibo to clarify that there is no such thing as an “F code” for Xiaomi Auto, and strictly prohibited internal staff from engaging in any unauthorized operations. (Note: The original translation of "violation of regulations" has been refined to "unauthorized operations" for a more natural and contextually appropriate English expression.) Xu emphasized that anyone claiming to be an insider should provide their identity information to Xiaomi for a thorough investigation. Currently, numerous listings have surfaced on second-hand platforms, offering to resell the qualification to purchase a Xiaomi Auto, with prices ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan. Some of these sellers even pose as internal personnel of Xiaomi Auto or authorized dealers, asserting their ability to secure early vehicle pickup slots. Meanwhile, it's worth noting that Xiaomi Auto is set to host a technical launch event at 7 PM on July 30.
