"Car Matrix" car evaluation: On the last day of 2021, Tesla "amplified the move", for domestic models, Tesla China reproduced the "price increase" policy, model 3 rear-wheel drive version of the model after subsidies price of 265,652 yuan, the price increased by 10,000 yuan; Model Y rear wheel drive version price of 301,840 yuan, compared with the previous price of 280,752 yuan increased by 21,088 yuan, and no longer enjoy the national new energy subsidies. Tesla's explanation is that it had to adjust the price due to the increase in cost, and the two models that were adjusted were not listed and were in the pre-sale state, so it was normal to adjust the price based on cost fluctuations. Coincidentally, Tesla recently announced the recall of Model 3 and Model S overseas, the United States alone recalled nearly 500,000 vehicles, Tesla Model 3 recall reason is that the coaxial cable in the trunk wiring harness will be repeatedly opened or closed for a long time and lead to wear, so that the rearview camera can not capture the image, affecting the owner to judge the specific road conditions behind the car.
These two pieces of news for domestic consumers are a bit of a blindfold, on the one hand, Tesla in China's high-profile price adjustment, but also in the overseas due to a large number of safety hazards recall, although the previous Tesla recall including domestic models, but this time obviously did not calculate the domestic part. From January to November 2021, Tesla has sold more than 250,000 vehicles in China, during which the extreme rights protection incident of car owners caused by the "brake failure" problem has not yet had a satisfactory solution, and even the mutual litigation between Henan Anyang owners and Tesla China is still in progress, Tesla at the juncture of public opinion at this time to raise the price, high-profile behavior or let domestic consumers understand, although Tesla has a "ceiling" height in the field of new energy, especially pure electricity, but Tesla after entering China is too "radical" The approach ignores the product itself, resulting in a large number of rights protection incidents, which has brought an extremely serious negative impact on Tesla's reputation.
Looking at the overseas recall, the number of recalls of 500,000 vehicles is almost close to last year's total global deliveries, here is the question, is Tesla's model 3 produced in China not in the scope of recall? Or has this problem been solved when it was domestically produced? Let's look at the specific production years of the model 3 recalled overseas, the recall of 356,309 Model 3 production dates are from July 15, 2017 to September 30, 2020, and then look at the domestic Tesla Model 3 domestic time, May 31, 2019 officially opened the booking, according to Tesla, "Telsa" became "Tesla" and did not have any changes, maintaining the original overseas introduction. According to the production date, the first batch of domestic Tesla Model 3 is obviously within the scope of this overseas recall, why does this recall not mention the domestic Tesla Model 3 at all? Isn't this contrary to Tesla's Sole Proprietorship Vehicle Manufacturing Process, which has the highest production standards and is rigorous to every screw? Or is this domestic sales not worth recalling? In short, the price increase is visible, the recall is nothing to do with you, this wave of operations make people blindfolded.
