The pictures exposed by netizens show that according to Tesla sales chat information, the 2021 Tesla Model Y standard endurance rear-drive version has been discontinued on January 24. Customers who have already booked the car and have not yet delivered the car can choose to change the original price to the 2022 Model Y rear-drive version, or Tesla's original price to refund the deposit.
It is reported that the 2022 Model Y is the same as the entry-level model, the 2022 rear-wheel drive version compared with the 2021 standard endurance rear-drive version of the price increased by more than 20,000 yuan, the configuration level has been upgraded as follows:
Including the car machine chip updated to the AMD brand; the rear side window is updated to double glazing, the sound insulation effect is better; the on-board starting battery (low-voltage battery) is updated to a lithium battery, and the battery life is longer.
However, due to the mileage algorithm being replaced by the original NEDC to CTLC, the mileage was increased to 545km. The acceleration time of 0-100km/h is reduced to 6.9 seconds, and the standard endurance rear-drive version is 5.6 seconds.
It is worth mentioning that the U.S. auto safety regulator reportedly said on Tuesday that they gathered more information from Tesla to further understand whether the company's decision to allow passengers of 580,000 cars to play games through the center control screen is a safety hazard.
Last December, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began conducting a preliminary assessment of the Model S, Model X, Model Y and Model 3 produced in 2017-2022 to see if the "passenger gaming" features on these cars would "distract drivers and increase the risk of accidents."
They have confirmed that "this feature has been available to users since 2020 through vehicles equipped with the 'Passenger Game' feature". Prior to this, the game feature "only available when parking".
NHTSA wants to obtain all crash record reports related to the feature and asked Tesla to provide an incident chronology and research report to support its risk assessment of "using in-vehicle equipment for front-row non-driving-related tasks." The agency also wants data that "the game runs at the same time as driver interventions or active safety measures."
Daimler-owned Mercedes-Benz recalled 227 vehicles in the United States on November 29 last year because their infotainment systems "may allow television and Internet displays to be activated while driving, causing driver distraction." ”
In response to the NHTSA investigation, at the end of December last year, Tesla responded that it would no longer allow vehicles to run video games while driving, and Tesla said that the company locked the "passenger game" function through a software update, making it unusable during the operation of the vehicle.
According to Xiaodi Express, in response to the government's call, BYD launched a car pumping campaign for employees in its Xi'an area on January 25, and the winning employees will receive a new energy vehicle produced locally in Xi'an. The event will continue in early February.
At noon on the 25th, in the BYD Industrial Park in Xi'an, a production line employee from BYD's second business department received a Song PLUS DM-i and carried out a delivery ceremony on the same day.
It is reported that since the implementation of closed management in residential areas (villages) and units in Xi'an, about 70,000 people have been closed in the industrial park of Xi'an BYD. Xi'an BYD has effectively implemented various epidemic prevention policies, and up to now, a total of 23 rounds of nucleic acid testing have been carried out, and the results have not been abnormal, becoming a safe highland in the epidemic.
During the lockdown in Xi'an, bydir Charitable Foundation also donated 10 million yuan and 30 million yuan of anti-epidemic materials to the Xi'an Red Cross Society to help Xi'an fight against the epidemic. According to Liu Zhenyu, general manager of BYD Xi'an Company, on the one hand, this car drawing activity is to thank BYD employees who are fighting in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic in Xi'an, and on the other hand, it is to respond to the government's call and encourage employees to celebrate the New Year on the spot.
Xi'an is an important production base of BYD, with a layout of automobiles, electronics, batteries, rail transit, auto finance and other businesses, especially shouldering the production of Song PLUS DM-i, Song Pro DM-i, Qin PLUS DM-i and other popular models in the market.
According to the data, BYD's car sales in December 2021 were 99,112 units, with a cumulative 740131 vehicles in the whole year, an increase of 73.34% year-on-year. Due to the epidemic in Xi'an in December and the improvement of regional prevention and control levels, the output of BYD's Xi'an automobile production base has been affected to a certain extent, while market demand is still strong.
The resumption of production by BYD xi'an plays an important role in the production of BYD DM-i. Up to now, the production of BYD's Xi'an base has basically returned to normal.
