Every year there will be a lot of various melons in the car circle to make many melon-eating masses addicted, as the protagonist of the year, not long ago has been the "dare to say" as the label of the ideal car CE0 Li wanted to rush to the hot search, becoming the first big melon in the automotive industry at the beginning of 2022.
The cause of the incident was january 5 this year, Wen Wei, founder of Tuanche Network, said that the biggest driving force for Tuanche to decide to build a car came from an external team of more than 100 people, saying that this team can undertake product planning, modeling design, engineering development, testing, chassis, three electrics, intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, systematic integration program, production support, supplier management of almost all car-making processes, with more than 20 years of experience in car-making, and there are precipitations in technology and prototype vehicles.
In addition, this team can do more than 20 million yuan of cars, but also can do less than 50,000 yuan of cars, including commercial vehicles, logistics vehicles. Moreover, the team's car construction cycle can be 18-24 months. As a reference, the car manufacturing cycle fuel vehicle era international manufacturers are 48 months, domestic manufacturers have done 36 months, its first model priced at 100,000 yuan - 200,000 yuan range, 2022 gold nine silver ten can be pre-sold, Wen Wei's remarks can be roughly summarized into four words: "omnipotent."
In this regard, the conclusion given by Ideal Auto CEO Li Xiang on Weibo is actually two words: "liar". Li Xiang said in Weibo: "Those entrepreneurs who hope to find a super savior, those entrepreneurs who expect to be incompetent by opening the second pulse of Ren Dou, the last ones they find are generally liars, or there is a high probability that they are also liars." There are still people who can openly speak out of this view without shame, which really refreshes the bottom line of entrepreneurs. The essence of entrepreneurship is: rhythmic and patient long-term growth. ”
For Li Xiang's remarks, Tuanche Wenwei also publicly replied: "I didn't expect that the first shot of the Long March came from Mr. Li Xiang. Apart from rhythm and patience, have you forgotten your vision and judgment? No one should think of themselves as prophets", just recently, Wen Wei also took the initiative to invite Li Xiang to participate in the first product launch of the group car, hoping that the two sides would exchange views and discuss together.
First of all, from the perspective of the ideal car, last year's ideal car only with an ideal ONE to get the sales of the new car-making forces, is one of the well-deserved leaders in the new car-making forces, and the ideal ONE also overpowered luxury brands such as BBA, has been occupying the top seat in the sales volume of medium and large SUV segments, the current market value of the ideal car has reached 32.2 billion US dollars.
Tuanche network was established in 2010, mainly engaged in the sale of automobiles, auto parts, is a standard auto trading service platform, since the listing in 2018 has been in a state of loss, the total loss reached 640 million yuan, so it is not difficult to guess that tuanche network announced that the car is actually to obtain some financing to reverse the loss of the situation.
Nowadays, cross-border car manufacturing is not a new thing, not only the group car network, recently including Xiaomi, Baidu, Canon, Sony and other industry giants in their respective fields have announced the manufacture of cars, before Weilai Automobile's Li Bin once said such a sentence: "Car manufacturing is a very money-burning thing, there is no 20 billion do not want to build a car", in terms of the current market environment, I am afraid that 20 billion is not enough, and car manufacturing is not just a matter of money.
Even huawei-like companies with super high visibility and volume have always declared that they do not build cars, the cost of automobile manufacturing is high and difficult, and because there is no vehicle manufacturing capacity, cross-border car manufacturing often requires more time and money and manpower and material resources, and there are many uncertainties.
In fact, many new car-making forces, including Weilai and Ideal Automobile, have heard a lot of doubts when announcing the construction of cars, and Wen wei of tuanche network also took the remarks of the previous Volkswagen CEO Feng Sihan as an example, Feng Sihan once asserted: "Extended range electric vehicles are simply nonsense and the worst solution from the perspective of the whole country and the earth." Today, the success of Ideal ONE does prove that Feng Sihan is wrong, but tuanche network is different from Ideal Car.
For the current tuanche network, first of all, the tuanche network has no financial support, no technical reserves, no professional automotive research and development talent team, not its own factory, nor any new energy technology or manufacturers to cooperate with it, even if Baidu and Geely cooperate, take Geely's ready-made pure electric platform architecture, but also brewed for a year, cross-border car manufacturing and 18 months to achieve mass production looks like a fantasy.
Especially for those cross-border car-making enterprises, cross-border car-making is actually a new entrepreneurial journey, for which Li Xiang also released a long article to talk about his entrepreneurial experience, the whole article is actually talking about the importance of entrepreneurship for rhythm control, eager to succeed and finally wait for the end is failure.
In fact, li wants to say nothing wrong, from the early stage of the development of new energy vehicles to the emergence of new car-making forces, including Jia Yueting's FF and Byton and many new car-making forces have now existed in name only, are living examples, so the current rhythm of the group car, not to mention whether it can really be realized, on this car-making attitude can basically be declared cool.
epilogue:
At present, the domestic and even global new energy pure electric vehicle market has a very huge potential, but with more and more entrants, market competition has become extremely fierce, the threshold of cross-border car manufacturing is getting higher and higher, for many new entrants, the opportunity will be less and less, the treatment of car manufacturing needs to have a sense of awe, especially for those who want to make a wave of "fast money" in the name of car manufacturing, cross-border car manufacturing is not a shortcut, it is very likely to be an abyss.
