On December 17, Tesla held a T-talk offline sharing seminar with the theme of "five-star car safety" at the Zhengzhou Zhongyuan Tesla Center. Tesla lecturers explained to the participating guests in depth how Tesla implements its dedication to safety quality and provides users with a full range of safety protection. At the same time, for the majority of northern car owners, Tesla has also brought more practical winter car knowledge to help them better enjoy the warm travel experience created by intelligent technology.
Yang Haoxiang, head of regional sales at Tesla Jinyu, said that safety has always been Tesla's primary design requirement, passive safety, "five-star safety" is the bottom line; active safety, with scientific and technological means to create a safer travel experience than human driving; data security, in a rigorous way, localized storage and other means to protect the privacy of each user. At present, Tesla takes the provincial capital Zhengzhou as the core, rapidly expands the service network and charging network, provides local consumers in Henan with global unified high-level products and services, passes the environmental protection concept of energy conservation and carbon reduction to more consumers, accelerates the popularization of new energy vehicles in Henan, and contributes to the new energy industry, tourism and environmental protection undertakings in the entire Central Plains, as well as the sustainability of local development.
Passive safety | concept first for the ultimate protection of safety
As we all know, Tesla has very strict high standards in safety design. In the latest National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash test, tesla received a five-star crash safety rating for all Tesla models. Among them, Model 3 not only received NHTSA all five-star safety rating, ENCAP full five-star rating, but also won the IIHS SAFETY PICK+ top safety award. In the U.S. government's New Car Evaluation Program, the Model 3 vehicle has a lower probability of injury than any vehicle it tests.
The rigidity and structure of the body is an important criterion for measuring passive safety. At the T-talk scene in Zhengzhou, Tesla and the guests had an in-depth discussion on the Model 3 white body, and the details of the passive safety design were more clearly presented.
Model 3 body adopts steel and aluminum hybrid material body frame, H-shaped collision avoidance structure and laser welding, resistance welding, riveting, gluing and other advanced connection processes, which can effectively reduce the risk of vehicle deformation in vehicle collision accidents while improving the strength of the body. Tesla also reinforced the anti-collision parts such as A-pillar and B-pillar, which can effectively reduce the deformation of the door frame during the bias collision, so that the Model 3 has achieved excellent results in the front 40% crash test and the side crash test.
Electric vehicles should also pay attention to the protection of batteries. On the one hand, the two longitudinal beams in the Model 3 battery pack replace the traditional longitudinal beams, and use the 1700Mpa left and right through roller pressure beams to ensure the effective transmission of the crash force, better protect the passengers and batteries in the car from being squeezed, and improve battery safety.
Proactive security | intelligent empowerment add another line of defense to security
Not only passive safety, Tesla vehicles also actively guard users' travel through intelligent empowerment. Data from Tesla's "Vehicle Safety Report for the First Quarter of 2021" shows that there will be an average of one traffic accident per 6.74 million kilometers of driving distance during driving with the participation of Autopilot automatic drivers. According to NHTSA data in the United States, on average, there is one traffic safety accident in the united states every 780,000 kilometers of road traffic. Tesla Autopilot auto assisted driving allows driving safety levels to reach 8.66 times the national average.
Tesla's ultra-high safety in terms of active safety is mainly reflected in Autopilot automatic assisted driving. All Current Tesla models are equipped with Autopilot automatic driving assistance as standard, which can help users simplify driving and effectively reduce the incidence of accidents.
Autopilot automatic driver assistance is based on computer vision, the body is full of advanced sensors and cameras, the construction of automatic driving assistance system, active safety system, can predict risks, predict in advance, the implementation of steering, acceleration and braking and other decisions, as far as possible to avoid accidents.
For example, tesla side impact warning plays a crucial role in avoiding side impacts. Taking the Model 3 as an example, when a vehicle is detected in the adjacent lane into which the Model 3 is incorporated, Autopilot automatic driver assistance triggers the side impact prevention function (steering intervention) and ensures that the vehicle automatically steers to a safer position.
With the continuous evolution and improvement of autonomous driving functions, Tesla vehicles can continue to be upgraded through OTA over-the-air software updates, providing users with a smarter and safer travel experience.
Data Security | adhere to the principles to protect the privacy of each user
In September this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at the Wuzhen World Internet Conference: "Data security is the key to the success of intelligent connected cars, which is not only closely related to the interests of individuals, but also to the interests of society as a whole." Tesla is pleased to see the introduction of relevant laws and regulations to strengthen data management. ”
At the "T-talk" activity in Zhengzhou, Tesla instructors introduced four types of data generated by Tesla vehicles, namely vehicle data related to vehicle use, operation and condition, infotainment system data used by on-board touch screens, diagnostic data and Autopilot automatic assisted driving data. The lecturer said that Tesla adopts the principle of "legal compliance, minimum necessity, openness and transparency" for the owner's personal information and vehicle data, which has become the most rigorous way in the field of smart cars. At present, Tesla has established a data center in China, and all the data generated by all Chinese businesses, including production data, sales data, service data and charging data, are completely stored in China, and at the same time, storage security is ensured through data encryption, authentication, access control and other technical means.
Explain the winter travel cheats in detail and open the winter "warm mode"
In the face of the severe cold of winter, many car owners hope to learn more about winter travel knowledge. At this T-talk event, Tesla instructors explained in detail how Tesla vehicles break through the game with technology and bring users a winter car experience that surpasses fuel vehicles.
Tesla uses the "cold artifact" heat pump technology to make every bit of heat valuable. Tesla heat pump system on the basis of the traditional heat pump operating principle, after clever design, can make full use of the outside natural energy (air), motor and battery waste heat for heating, high efficiency.
Thanks to this, Tesla vehicles can quickly heat up in cold weather, improve winter cabin comfort and range, and reduce charging time. At the same time, because the heat pump air conditioner of Tesla vehicles is included in the vehicle warranty, no additional maintenance is required, which can help the owner save a lot of maintenance costs.
At the same time, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, intelligent Tesla vehicles allow car owners to easily control the temperature in the cabin, making winter travel warmer. For example, open the "departure on time" function on the mobile phone in advance to preheat the battery and heat the cockpit, which is not only warm as spring and the window is clear after getting on the car, but also helps the vehicle to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption, and there is no "hot car" link for fuel vehicles. In the cold winter heating and driving vehicles, in fact, the fuel consumption of fuel vehicles will also increase, resulting in an increase in fuel costs. The cost of Tesla vehicles is extremely low, even if the winter charging frequency increases slightly, the user's car cost will not have a large fluctuation, if the owner installs a home charging pile, it will further reduce the charging cost, and more can "go home to charge, full power departure" every day.
Tesla instructors also brought a lot of winter car tips, such as checking tire pressure, replacing winter glass water, using the "route planning" function to preheat the battery in advance to increase charging speed, choosing a comfortable acceleration mode to prevent speed increases, etc., to help car owners better and safer and comfortable "winter".
Tesla brings users a better travel life with efficient, transparent, high-level services, and a rapidly expanding charging network. At present, Tesla has opened 4 stores in Zhengzhou, namely Zhengzhou Zhenghongcheng Tesla Experience Center, Zhengzhou Xidigang Tesla Experience Center, Zhengzhou Futa Tesla Center, Zhengzhou Zhongyuan Tesla Center, to bring users experience, car purchase, delivery, after-sales and other full-life cycle services; Tesla is also constantly improving the construction of Henan's charging network, building 34 super charging stations and 131 super charging piles in the province, providing a speed-up energy supplement experience for local users and car owners passing through Henan.
Tesla has always adhered to the principle of "user-centric", comprehensively protected the travel safety of car owners, and reflected the design concept of "safety first" in each Tesla model. Tesla held a T-talk theme event on safety and winter cars in Zhengzhou, showing the great importance it attaches to the user's travel experience. It is believed that with the efforts of Tesla, Tesla owners will continue to enjoy a safe and intelligent driving experience and enjoy a warmer winter travel life.
