Tesla has long been widely criticized for product quality problems. On Dec. 30, U.S. road safety regulators said Tesla was recalling more than 475,000 Model 3 and Model S electric vehicles.
There are 475,000 Model 3s, 356,309 units, produced between 2017 and 2020, and the reason for the recall is to open and close the trunk, which may damage the rearview camera line, thereby increasing the risk of collision.
There are 119,009 Model Ss, and the reason for the recall is that the car hood locks may not be aligned when assembled, thus hindering the coupling of the auxiliary locks, which in turn can cause the hood to open, obscuring the view of the driver who is driving, triggering a possible crash.
The recall is huge. In 2020, Tesla achieved the milestone of delivering 500,000 electric vehicles, which means that the 475,000 vehicles in this recall are close to the production of the whole of last year.
Over the years, there have been many reports of Tesla owners reporting quality control issues. Since the birth of Tesla, its poor product quality can be seen.
Some car owners joke that since they bought a Tesla, there are "surprises" everywhere in life, because you don't know where the car will go wrong and what kind of problems will go wrong.
According to the 2020 U.S. Market New Car Quality Study (IQS) report released by J.D.Power, there will be 250 problems for every 100 Tesla vehicles, ranking at the bottom of the quality ranking.
Previously, Tesla CEO Musk also acknowledged Tesla's quality control problems. "During the increase in production in 2020, we don't even have enough time to dry the paint on the vehicle." "Our production is like hell."
Musk also admitted that the seats in early versions of the Model S were terrible: "Probably the worst seats of all the cars I've ever sat in." "This stimulated the Model 3 to design more comfortable seats.
Obviously, Musk is very clear about Tesla's quality problems, and he also knows that it is because Tesla is expanding too fast, "turnips are fast and do not wash mud".
Thought and action are always two different things. While Musk is aware of the problem, it is clear that he has no intention of solving it. It can even be said that instead, it is "creating problems".
In the final analysis, Musk only cares about running horses, only caring about expanding production to make money, and has lost the original intention of doing products and doing business.
Therefore, Tesla will expose the problem on the one hand, and on the other hand, there are all kinds of throwing pots, and every time these magical problems appear, Tesla's explanation is always "you will not use it, our car has no problem ..."
The most chilling thing is Tesla's attitude towards Chinese consumers, actually engaged in "double standard", for the car in question, the United States can be recalled on a large scale, and Chinese car owners are only equipped with "seam patching"!
A few more words
It is reported that Tesla's supply target in 2021 is 1 million vehicles, and in 2020, Tesla has delivered nearly 500,000 vehicles, while Tesla's goal is to eventually reach the production of 20 million electric vehicles per year.
It is undeniable that Tesla has the advantage, but the most basic function of the car is the means of transportation, if a car can not send you safely to the destination, there may be your life, why do you have to spend this unjust money?
Some netizens joked that to become a Tesla owner, you not only need money, but also have to die! Those car owners with bad luck and bad character, or take a detour as soon as possible.
