Because of the epidemic, lack of core and other factors, there have been problems in the automotive supply chain, resulting in a shortage of popular models, and price increases are also very obvious. According to the CCTV reporter's visit, SUVs, MPVs, performance cars, imported cars, etc., have become the "hardest hit areas" for price increases. For example, the sales staff of an Audi 4S store in Beijing told reporters that at present, products have to be booked, and RS models have to be added, basically ranging from 50,000 to 100,000. The sales staff of the Toyota 4S store said that if you add less money, you can choose to pick up the car late.
In contrast, the new car-making brand that adopts the direct-operated model is much friendlier, because they eliminate the dealer link of "middleman" and the national price is unified and transparent. However, there is a problem that their delivery cycle is generally longer than that of traditional car companies, if you want to have a high-end electric car in the spring festival, is it not difficult?
There is no absolute, after the author understands that there are still some cars in the new car-making brand that delivers relatively quickly, and even before the Spring Festival, the car can be picked up, such as Lantu Automobile, which has established a "military order", for users who have fixed the car before January 10, 2022, Lantu promises to complete the delivery before the Spring Festival.
According to the timeline, based on the deadline of January 10, the fastest delivery time of Lantu is 3 weeks, and what is this concept? Weilai Automobile, which is also a new force in Chinese brand car manufacturing, has a delivery time of 8 weeks, while Xiaopeng Automobile has a fastest delivery time of 8-9 weeks, and the delivery time of the ideal car is 8-10 weeks. As the "big brother" in the industry, Tesla's delivery time is directly after the first quarter of 2022. In contrast, Lantu Automobile is indeed the fastest delivery of the new power brand.
Of course, seeing that this may be a small partner will ask, Lan Tu said that the car can be delivered before the Spring Festival, if it is not done, what to do? As mentioned above, Lantu has established a "military order", if the delivery delay is caused by Lantu, so that the delivery is completed after the Spring Festival, Lantu will compensate 20,000 points for users who choose to cancel, and the deposit of non-subscribed users 5,000 yuan can become 10,000 yuan, and the final payment will be directly deducted when delivered later. The latter "punishment", I believe everyone can understand, then what can the previous integral do?
According to the author's understanding, the exchange ratio of this point to cash is 10:1, that is to say, if the subscription is cancelled due to failure to deliver on time, the user will "white prostitute" 2000 yuan in cash. Of course, this cannot be withdrawn directly, but personal items such as air fryers, pressure cookers, fascia guns and other personal items can be purchased in the Lantu Mall.
In terms of sincerity, Lantu Automobile's "military order" this time is still more promising, and according to the author, the reason why Lantu dares to "boast about Haikou" is because the brand's production capacity in December has been greatly improved and the chip supply problem has been alleviated, and the daily production capacity has increased by more than 200% compared with before. I have to say that as a high-end electric brand affiliated with central enterprises, the "action" of Lantu Automobile is indeed very fast.
Summary: For traditional car companies, the delivery cycle of new car-making forces, although it is longer, is not the case for all brands, among which there are still some new power brands with faster delivery, such as Lantu Automobile, which directly promises that users who will order cars on January 10, 2022 can get cars before the Spring Festival, which is indeed a "new strength of car manufacturing". In addition, for the 4S shop model of traditional car companies, the author believes that it is really time to rectify it, and it is a happy thing to pick up the car, but it has changed its taste due to the price increase, which should not be.
