Recently, Li Bin, founder and CEO of Weilai Automobile, said: "I don't understand why anyone still buys oil trucks? Is it to smell gasoline, or is it to hear a sound? As soon as this remark came out, it caused heated discussion among countless car owners and pushed Li Bin to the cusp of the storm.
Gasoline vehicles have a history of more than a hundred years since the world's first fuel vehicle was introduced. Compared with new energy vehicles, fuel vehicles have good stability, convenient refueling and car value preservation. Li Bin has been in the automotive industry for so many years, it is impossible not to understand these truths, and the above remarks are considered to be "shouting" for Weilai.
However, at present, new energy vehicles have been criticized for safety, retention rate, mileage, etc., and these problems may continue for a long time.
1. The mileage of "inexhaustible words"
Most new energy vehicles generally have a cruising range of more than 600 kilometers, and the charging cost per kilometer is about 1 cent. But the 600 km endurance it labeled is greatly reduced by various factors, most of which are only about 400 km.
Being able to run 400 kilometers is not bad, but the problem is that when it comes to cold weather, the mileage has to shrink a lot, so some northeast car owners complained: "In winter, you can only run 200 kilometers!" ”
Therefore, many car owners are reluctant to buy new energy vehicles, and the contrast between 400 kilometers in summer and 200 kilometers in winter is difficult for them to accept. The oil truck is much more real in comparison, how much oil is added, how many kilometers it runs, regardless of its spring, summer, autumn and winter.
2, can not afford to replace the battery, Finnish car owners angrily smashed Tesla
Finnish owner Katainen bought a Tesla a few years ago and now feels that the battery is aging, and the range has shrunk from the original 400 km to less than 200 km.
Catenin then ran to change the battery, but Tesla said it would cost 140,000 yuan to change the battery. He was suddenly angry - when he bought it, he only spent more than 200,000 yuan, and now you want me to change a battery for more than 100,000? It's better to buy a new one!
Very dissatisfied, Katainen blew up his Tesla in public, and did not forget to throw Musk's family in the car. He said that changing the battery is too expensive and will not consider Tesla in the future.
3. Zhengzhou new energy vehicles spontaneously combust when charging
Just last month, zhengzhou new energy vehicle charging spontaneous combustion accident, and after the accident, no one mentioned the brand of this new energy vehicle, only a few "sharp-eyed" netizens deep pickpocket.
The owner of the accident is very optimistic, he said that this is very normal, see how to deal with it later. Such an understated attitude coupled with the "concealment" of the car brand is intriguing for a while.
In fact, this is not a case of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles, such accidents have been searched a lot on the Internet, and most of them occurred within half a year of picking up the car.
4. Weilai (future) has come?
It is undeniable that new energy vehicles have many advantages, charging is cheap, and automatic driving technology is gradually mature and more environmentally friendly. Moreover, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, etc. have given the "timetable for eliminating fuel vehicles", and it is expected to stop production of fuel vehicles after 15 years, which shows that new energy vehicles are a trend and the future.
However, there are also many problems with new energy vehicles, such as battery aging, high cost of battery replacement, slow charging, possible spontaneous combustion, battery life shrinkage and so on. The existence of these problems has made many people who want to buy new energy vehicles "dissuaded", after all, the car is for people, rather than buying a car to add trouble to themselves, and they have to supply it every day, for fear that it will break.
Perhaps Li Bin founded and developed Weilai because he saw the future of new energy vehicles and wanted to become the "Musk" of domestic new energy. But what he didn't know was that Musk once claimed that two-thirds of his pain came from Tesla, and he focused more on the "brain computer" and "big rocket" and enjoyed it.
In order to realize his so-called "digital man" concept, Musk has concocted a brain-computer technology to save the mind, and constantly launched large rockets to fly to Mars, so tesla seems more like his side business. In order to retire on Mars, Musk was exposed by his ex-girlfriend Grimes to try various anti-pod substances, and became the first guinea pig of the "Wlnad" class in the Harvard laboratory.
According to public information, the substance is recorded in the well-known academic journal "Cell", and scientists mainly study its telomere maintenance, DNA repair and other mechanisms, with the potential for stretch survival. To this end, Hong Kong Fu Lee once invested 25 million US dollars, "Wlnad" things with the entry of the biotechnology enterprise "LiteVigian" and other capital circulation to The country, Bo -Dong, cats and so on have become the channels for many high-net-worth people to obtain.
For Musk, these two major events are more worth thinking about, and the new energy vehicle that Li Bin shouted, he does not seem to have paid attention to. But for the development trend of the domestic car industry, Musk also said that China will do a great job.
Perhaps Musk did not show concern for new energy vehicles, but how could he not consider the impact of Weilai, who relied on Tesla's stock price to rise to become the world's richest man.
And people who want to buy new energy vehicles, may wish to wait and see, perhaps Weilai's technology will one day be more mature than Tesla, after all, a large number of fuel vehicle owners are "offended", Li Bin always has to come up with some results, right?
