According to statistics, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory deliveries exceeded 400,000 units in 2021, but even with such a huge delivery volume, Tesla still has a large number of orders in the domestic market that are in a state of delayed delivery.
This includes the 2021 Model Y standard endurance afterdrive version.
At present, there is also news that Tesla will no longer produce the model, and said that customers who have not yet delivered the car can choose to change the original price to the 2022 Model Y after-wheel drive version, or refund the deposit at the original price.
It is reported that the 2022 Model Y rear-drive version is the same as an entry-level model, the difference is that the price is higher than the 2021 Model Y standard endurance rear-drive version by more than 20,000 yuan, and changes have been made in terms of configuration.
These include replacing the car machine chip with the AMD brand, replacing the rear side windows with double glazing with better sound insulation, and the on-board starting battery (low-voltage battery) also updated to a lithium battery, and the battery life will be longer. The mileage algorithm was changed from the original NEDC to CTLC, and the cruising range was increased to 545km
Judging from the configuration changes, it is to get an upgrade. However, the focus is also on the 2022 Model Y rear-drive version of the motor power has been greatly reduced, from the previous 220 kilowatts to 202 kilowatts, and the zero hundred acceleration time has also changed from the original 5.6 seconds to 6.9 seconds, a full 1.3 seconds slower.
The greatest pleasure of the tram is the zero hundred acceleration time. It is precisely because of the change in vehicle performance that many Model Y owners who choose to place orders because of the acceleration of power performance have complaints.
In the professor's view, Tesla unilaterally adjusted the factory production line to adapt to the 2022 model, and gave consumers two solutions that inevitably had a feeling of "shop bullying". However, if you compare the product strength of the 2021 Model Y standard endurance after-drive version and the 2022 Model Y rear-drive version, it is obvious that consumers are "earning"!
To put it bluntly, you can spend less than 20,000 yuan to upgrade these configurations and improve the mileage. You know, AMD chips are extremely important for improving the tram experience.
It is true that zero hundred acceleration time is the point that some car owners value, but in the actual car environment, it is not possible to fully experience the gap between 5.6 and 6.9s zero hundred acceleration. Moreover, the 6.9s zero hundred acceleration time is already a "very fierce" existence compared with the same level or even traditional fuel vehicles.
In general, Tesla's wave of original price upgrades to the 2022 Model Y after-wheel version is reasonable, and consumers are also "earned".
Of course, at the level of solution selection, Tesla should also be diversified, such as a certain amount of money can be added to buy a high-end version with stronger zero hundred acceleration performance, so as not to make car owners who value power performance complain.
