National Day holiday, stay at home for a few days. On the last day of the holiday, October 7, my husband said, idle, accompany me to see the car. I've never seen a tram, so go see the tram.
Call Tesla and be able to test drive that day. So the family drove to the Tesla dealership by the West Lake.
There are two oil trucks in the family, both of which were bought before the license plate restriction, and there is no concern about the license plate. I have always wanted to change SUV, and the previous idea was more inclined to continue to change mercedes-Benz oil cars. A Mercedes-Benz sedan at home has been in use for ten years, and it is still loved, the performance is very good, and the driving feels good.
I had never thought about learning about the tram before, and I saw all kinds of negative news about Tesla from time to time, so I didn't think about the tram at all, let alone Tesla.
Because of the whim, my husband said that he wanted to experience the feeling of driving on the tram. There are so many comments on the Internet, for a man who loves a car, he has not tried it himself, and he has no right to speak.
After the test drive, the husband said that there was no feeling of adaptation, it felt smooth, and it was much easier than driving a fuel car. Probably because he is an old driver, usually driving habits are better, and after driving a manual car for several years, the feeling of relying on the throttle to shift gears is very adaptable, without any sense of awkwardness.
My son also likes this car, it is spacious, simple and modern. I don't feel anything about cars, and I can't say how much I like what cars are given to me. I bought my own car for almost a decade and drove very little.
My husband said, "2:1, smooth passage," and I kind of wanted to change this car. Our family has always been very decisive in buying large pieces, and at that time we wanted to order a car directly.
This time the husband slowed down, said to go back to consider it first, before not considering the tram at all, or to know more, after all, it involves safety issues.
A week after I returned, my husband consulted various materials on the Internet, including various negative news, and figured out the various principles of tram driving.
Then I inquired, and several old colleagues actually changed Teslas. The situation is similar to my family, there are two oil trucks at home, one tram is changed, one oil car runs long distance, and the tram runs downtown.
Without exception, they praised the tram, mainly because the cost of use was cheap, and they really achieved the freedom of driving without considering the fuel money.
No more hesitation. On October 13, my husband paid for the car and promised to pick up the car in 6-10 weeks. According to the situation at that time, it was generally not necessary to wait for 10 weeks, about seven or eight weeks.
Chatting with colleagues, I learned that another colleague had also booked a Tesla a day earlier, and he also had two oil cars at home, so he changed a tram.
After booking the car, I learned that the original car sales were so good, and there were so many people waiting for the car, which started a long waiting process. Then there's the news, price increases, allocation reductions, delayed deliveries, and so on.
While waiting, do all kinds of preparations. Sell my car first, make room for space, and make room for license plates.
Taking advantage of the double eleven, I bought charging piles and wires online. The power bureau just started installing the 380 volt meter, and immediately applied to install it in its own garage, and we became the first nearby to install a 380 volt meter.
Double twelve, and snapped up the car film, which was half cheaper than usual.
Everything is ready, only the East Wind is owed, anxiously waiting to pick up the car every day. Every morning and evening, the husband looks at the information to see if there is a "perversion", whether there is a Tesla phone, information.
6 weeks have no hope, 8 weeks have passed, 9 weeks are almost over, watching the delivery date more and more extended, I don't know if 10 weeks can be delivered normally.
Tesla confirms the information every once in a while, that is, it cannot confirm the delivery time.
Add oil once a week, more than 400 yuan. Every time I refuel, my husband will cry, why can't my Tesla be enough?
Every time I blocked the road, I was sad about the gas money, and I saw how cheap the people who had already picked up the car were to dry electricity there.
On Saturday afternoon, December 18, I finally got a call to pick up the car next week, Monday to Wednesday, I am not sure which day, Monday is less likely.
On the morning of December 19, Tuesday was notified to pick up the car. My husband said that it was 69 days, and it was a day earlier than the final delivery date.
This day is so accurately counted, it is completely counting the days. A person who never even remembers his wedding anniversary is not easy!
I went to work that day, my husband drove me to work, and then he went to his house to stay and wait for me to return to the rental house together after I left work in the evening.
In the morning, my husband called and excitedly said that he could pick up the car at four o'clock this afternoon.
The owner of the car is me, but I just don't have my ID. My husband drove back to the rental house to get my ID card, I filled out the authorization form, and he went to pick up the car.
That night, my husband hurriedly called me and said that the car was already charged in his garage, busy researching new cars, and did not have time to call me.
The colleague just picked up the car at the same time and place with him, and the two big men took a group photo with excitement, only to cry with joy.
At night, my husband waited for me at the school gate, and the seat was warmed up. He said: "You can be picked up and dropped off at any time in the future, always on call, and never have to worry about oil money again." ”
Driving all the way, excited like a child, dancing with his hands.
When we got home, at ten o'clock, my son also returned from the evening self-study. Seeing his father sitting on the couch happily, he casually asked: "The car is lifted?" ”
The husband smiled and nodded yes.
The son immediately said, "Take a walk, watch the car go." ”
Putting down their school bags, the two went out shoulder to shoulder. Before going out, preheat the car. As soon as my son got on the bus, he even called out "advanced" and no longer had to sit in a cold seat.
The father and son drove around the community a few times, as intimate as brothers, and the man's love for cars was really the same.
In the following week, my husband went to the car as soon as he had time, studied various functions, and had a lot of fun.
As soon as I got on the bus, they showed me all kinds of new features, as if they had discovered a new continent. What rainbow road, and pink fart, the car seat will fart, really like a toy.
The vehicle will automatically drive itself, and if there is a car in front of it, it will automatically step on the brakes, and it is rare to step on the brakes yourself. So it's mainly a single pedal mode, which controls the vehicle by the throttle. Those who like to brake with one foot on the accelerator are estimated to be extremely unaccustomed.
Loosen the throttle, the vehicle will stop completely, it feels like stepping on the brakes, which is different from the feeling of the oil car, the oil car can also drive slowly. Some out-of-control doors, which may have come from this way, mistakenly used the throttle as a brake.
The acceleration is fast, and you can add more than 100 yards in an instant. If it is misoperated, it is also a very exaggerated thing.
Vehicles on both sides and behind them will be alarmed. The funny thing is that the car next to it is painted on the display screen is extremely ugly, and the small gray squares are red when they approach. This car is quite delicate, really narcissistic.
Driving habits are not good, and they will frequently call the police. For example, if you change lanes, you will call the police without hitting the indicator light first. And the steering wheel is relatively heavy, like to drag you a little, not let you change lanes, of course, you turn hard, it will pass.
Therefore, this car can cultivate you to develop good driving habits, otherwise it is a constant alarm, of course, for novices, it will also cause panic.
The biggest benefit is that the use cost is cheap. Because my family drives more, the fuel bill used to be close to 2,000 yuan per month, and now it is about two or three hundred yuan. A kilometer used to cost about seven or eight cents, now a kilometer costs less than a dime.
Electricity peak electricity 6 mao one kilowatt hour electricity, valley electricity 3 mao, now are used peak electricity, and so after living back to their own home, you can use valley electricity to charge, the cost is cheaper.
After using the fuel truck, this cost is almost negligible. The daily electricity bill is only a few yuan, which is cheaper than my commuting subway.
My husband promised that I wouldn't have to squeeze the subway for half a year before we moved back to my house.
My husband first happily picked me up and dropped me off, and then developed to send my son to school, so that we could all enjoy the VIP service. Let's reluctantly give him a chance to perform.
Seeing him fiddling with the car every day, it felt like I had bought a car, but a big toy. Buying something that can make people have such a happy mood is also worth it.
