Xiaomi entered the EV market in March last year with the launch of the SU7. The electric sedan was made available in three variants — Standard, Pro, and Max — with starting prices of $29,720, $33,660, and $41,170, respectively. Deliveries of the Standard and Max versions of the SU7 began in April 2024, while deliveries of the SU7 Pro started in May.

SU7-inspired design elements
Xiaomi’s new vehicle retains the brand’s signature automotive design language, featuring a sporty crossover SUV silhouette. It incorporates a low-drag design similar to the Xiaomi SU7, with semi-concealed door handles, frameless exterior rearview mirrors, five-spoke wheels, and yellow brake calipers, all reflecting the SU7’s design lineage.

YU7 to challenge Tesla’s Model Y
Xiaomi’s bold move into the electric SUV market puts it in direct competition with Tesla, whose Model Y recently received updates. Tesla began delivering the refreshed Model Y in late February with improved range—the long-range version now offers approximately 447 miles per charge (up from 428 miles), while the rear-wheel-drive model reaches about 369 miles (previously 344 miles).

Xiaomi entered the EV market at a time when Tesla’s popularity in China saw an 11% year-over-year decline. With plans to offer fully integrated OS experiences between its EVs and smartphones, Xiaomi may challenge Tesla in the Chinese market.

Cousins still started the first 14 games of 2024 and threw for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns and a league-leading 16 interceptions.

The Falcons, at 7-7, decided to name Penix the starter for the final three games.

Atlanta then lost two of three and missed the playoffs.

Cousins is entering his age-37 season with a $27.5 million salary and $40 million cap hit, likely as the No. 2 to Penix.

State Farm said the emergency rate would help the company rebuild its capital following the Los Angeles wildfires that destroyed more than 16,000 buildings, mostly homes. The company is trying to prevent a “dire” financial situation that executives say could force them to drop more California policies.

A report released in late February estimated that the January wildfires in Los Angeles County caused up to $53.8 billion in property damage.

At least 29 people died, and thousands lost their homes.

The brothers appeared in a Washington, D.C., courtroom, facing charges of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise that involved multiple murder conspiracies, the Department of Justice said in a statement.

Additional charges include conspiring to manufacture and distribute large quantities of cocaine and marijuana bound for the United States, using firearms — including a machine gun — concerning drug trafficking crimes, and conspiring to launder money.

Zetas, founded by former Mexican special forces members, gained notoriety for its brutality. Miguel Trevino Morales led until his 2013 arrest, followed by his brother Omar until his 2015 arrest, according to the Department of Justice.

“It was unrecognizable to be a home. Just a debris field," Akers said, describing the scene that confronted rescuers when they arrived. “The floor was upside down. We were walking on walls."

A man in the home was killed but rescuers managed to extricate a woman from the debris, Akers said.

The deaths come as a massive storm system moving across the country unleashed winds that triggered deadly dust storms and fanned more than 100 wildfires.

Extreme weather conditions — including hurricane-force winds — are forecast to affect an area home to more than 100 million people. Winds gusting up to 80 mph (130 kph) were predicted from the Canadian border to Texas, threatening blizzard conditions in colder northern areas and wildfire risk in warmer, drier areas to the south.

The Storm Prediction Center said fast-moving storms could spawn twisters and hail as large as baseballs, but the greatest threat would come from straight-line winds near or exceeding hurricane force, with gusts of 100 mph (160 kph) possible.

The center said parts of Mississippi including Jackson and Hattiesburg and areas of Alabama including Birmingham and Tuscaloosa would be at a high risk. Severe storms and tornadoes were also possible across eastern Louisiana, western Georgia, central Tennessee and the western Florida Panhandle.

Wildfires in the Southern Plains threatened to spread rapidly amid warm, dry weather and strong winds, and evacuations were ordered Friday for some communities in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and New Mexico.

Rather than asking the Supreme Court to uphold the president's executive order, the administration is requesting that court rulings in the three states be narrowed so that a judge's ruling in one state does not have the authority to overturn the executive order nationwide, according to the Washington Examiner.

If the Supreme Court decides in favor of the White House, Trump's executive order would take effect outside of the three states.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution states "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Retired Lieutenant-Colonel and former F-35 test pilot Billie Flynn told the outlet that Trump's rhetoric has shaken many in the defense industry.

"I believe Canada has to adopt a transactional view that this is a contract that will go forward — or at the risk — of the trust that is always behind every purchase of American arms," Flynn said.

Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair old the CDC, "Canada is actively looking at potential alternatives to the U.S.-built F-35 stealth fighter and will hold conversations with rival aircraft makers."

Blair, who was recently appointed to the post by new Prime Minister Mark Carney, said his country will likely accept the first shipment and then look for alternatives from European manufactures, such as the Swedish-built Saab Gripen.
