On December 21, according to the "Russia Today" report, a Man in Finland was dissatisfied with the cost of tesla cars to change batteries too expensive, and even put musk's image dummy into the car and blew up his car.
A Tesla car that was blown up
It is reported that the man bought a Tesla electric car in 2012 and recently prepared to replace the battery, but was told that it would cost 20,000 euros (about 143,800 yuan) to replace the battery. He was so disappointed with Tesla that he contacted a local Finnish blast blogger to help him record the image of the tesla car being blown up.
Compared with fuel vehicles, the embarrassment of electric vehicles is here. What is the battery life when you buy the fuel car, ten years later or that endurance, the electric car is different, the battery has a certain number of charge and discharge times, the number of uses is too much, the endurance will be significantly reduced.
Fuel vehicles can generally be used continuously for about 15 years, other parts of electric vehicles are OK, and the battery must be replaced at least once, otherwise it will not be able to drive far at all. What's more, in a region with a higher latitude like Finland, the winter weather is severely cold, the battery life is seriously reduced, and if the health is not enough, then travel will become a big problem.
Therefore, some car companies have proposed a battery cell lifetime warranty policy, before the vehicle is scrapped, the car company will provide battery health protection services for the owner. As for Tesla Motors, I have not heard of such policies at present, and after the end of the warranty period, you need to pay for the repair of the car.
However, for the price of Tesla cars to replace the battery, Xiao Lei is still quite surprised, a battery actually needs 20,000 euros, enough to buy a BYD Qin Plus EV. In this way, it is normal for the Tesla owner to blow up his car, the money for replacing the battery is enough to buy a new car, his car has been driving for nearly 10 years, it is not worth anything in itself, it is better to blow it up, but also to attract a wave of popularity.
For consumers, buying electric vehicles now requires attention, taking into account the manufacturer's battery warranty policy and the price of replacing the battery. Since the electric vehicle industry has just emerged, many people will not consider replacing the battery when buying electric vehicles, and the Finnish man's behavior is a wake-up call for other consumers.
