BYD is currently the only car manufacturer in the world that can produce new energy vehicles, power batteries, and vehicle specification chips at the same time, and Tesla represents the highest level of new energy vehicles in the world. Therefore, the cars produced by these two companies will often be compared.
Our family is last year to start the BYD Han EV, but also opened a cousin's Tesla Model3, after a period of time together, there are many feelings, in the product has its own advantages and disadvantages, but Tesla has 3 major shortcomings is a hard injury. Below I compare the models of the two brands from 6 aspects, and after reading the comparison, I believe that the gap between the two will have a clear conclusion.
First, brand value, Tesla wins.
Since Musk entered the ownership, Tesla has gradually given the brand a temperament of youth, technology, fashion, and dare to innovate, which is combined with the labels of "life attitude" and "personality". Therefore, Tesla is very large, even if it is not very expensive in terms of price.
And BYD, because it has produced too many low-end models before, and indeed did not come up with a dazzling model, even the logo of the car has been complained about a lot. In the minds of consumers, BYD's cars are almost synonymous with low-end. Douyin also often jokes about Bentley and BYD: people point to Bentley and ask how much this BYD bought, more than 50,000 yuan...
Therefore, even in recent years, BYD Tang, Han and other middle-level cars, regardless of appearance and performance have gone up a large level, can not fundamentally enhance BYD's brand value.
On the contrary, Tesla has had a lot of safety accidents before, but everyone still votes with their feet, and Tesla's new energy vehicle sales still far exceed BYD.
In the same way, boeing 737 accidents have occurred frequently before, but if compared with domestic large aircraft, everyone still thinks that Boeing aircraft will be better.
However, as BYD continues to make breakthroughs in research and development, the quality level continues to improve, and its brand value has been recognized by more and more people. As you can see, BYD is a company recognized by Buffett, the god of stocks, and the only Chinese company he invests in.
Therefore, in terms of this brand value, BYD is currently too far behind Tesla, but I believe that BYD will narrow the gap in this regard in the future.
Second, the appearance and interior of the car, BYD wins.
Such a comparison, of course, should be compared with similar grades, for example, BYD Han and Tesla Model 3.
In the Tesla interior, except for the two control balls on the steering wheel and the adjustment buttons on the lower side of the seat, which are physical buttons, the rest of the physical buttons are all moved to the middle screen, which gives us a very simple feeling.
Tesla's statement is: give users a sense of space, so that users can really pay attention to the entire car system. Such a design allows the owner and the car machine system to achieve more interaction through the screen. Moreover, Tesla attaches great importance to automatic driving, and when automatic driving is really mature, the steering wheel of the future can be removed.
One screen solves all the elements of minimalist design style that attract them the most, and the fewest parts bring the best experience to the driver and occupants. Tesla's chief designer Franz said that "the whole vehicle is leatherless, hidden air outlets and glass sunroofs" is the place he is "most proud of".
In fact, here, I think the designer is treating simplicity as simple, and I can understand that this can save costs, but I don't recognize it when it comes to saving money so freshly.
But he insisted on saying this, and I could only listen. It's just that there is no harm without contrast. Below, let's take a look at the interior of BYD Khan, it's not too stunning.
Tesla said that the sky is crazy, but also can not change the fact that his interior is cheap, consumers spend money, see the pleasing interior, but also a kind of enjoyment, Tesla has a big screen, BYD also has.
I am the owner of BYD Han, in this, to praise BYD Han, BYD's big screen, through the car machine system, the operation of up to 3 million + applications, casual download. Music, navigation, live streaming, shopping, karaoke, games, everything. In a word, what the mobile phone can do, BYD's big screen can do.
And all of this can be achieved by a simple "Hello, XiaoDi" and then issuing voice commands, so what Tesla can do through the big screen, BYD Han can also do.
Therefore, tesla's advocated interior minimalism is actually untenable in order to expand the interior space and improve the owner's experience. What's more, the interior space of the Tesla Model 3 is not more spacious than that of Adihan. Therefore, in terms of interior comparison, BYD wins.
Third, battery performance, BYD wins.
Some tesla models use lithium iron phosphate batteries, some models use ternary lithium batteries, and BYD, after the introduction of blade batteries, will use a large number of blade batteries in subsequent models.
The advantage of blade batteries is that through the structural innovation of ordinary lithium iron phosphate batteries, it has the energy density to compete with ternary lithium batteries. Therefore, BYD Han, equipped with blade batteries, is not behind Tesla's related models in terms of mileage.
Another crucial advantage of the blade battery is that after 300 needle punctures, there is no open flame, no smoke, and the surface temperature is only 30-60 ° C. Ordinary lithium iron phosphate battery after needle puncture, no open flame, smoke, surface temperature 200 ° C -400 ° C. After the ternary lithium battery is pricked, it burns violently, and the surface temperature exceeds 500 ° C.
Therefore, the safety of the blade battery is far beyond the ordinary lithium iron phosphate battery and ternary lithium battery, safety is no small matter, in the case of no obvious difference in other aspects of the battery, the safer battery is undoubtedly better. Therefore, in terms of battery performance, BYD wins.
Fourth, assisted driving, Tesla wins.
The Tesla Model 3 is also a smart car with all sorts of small features!
The first is unlocking and locking, very smart. Just go close to the body and it will be unlocked automatically. Got in the car, slammed on the brakes, and lit up. Press the brakes, dial the P gear, then get out of the car, leave a certain distance will automatically lock, automatically power off.
I think the most useful of these features is the Tesla auto-summon function. As long as you operate it on your phone, Tesla will automatically drive in front of the owner. In addition, air conditioning, trunk, windshield, wiper and air conditioning control systems, among others. Both can be operated through the central control screen.
In terms of air conditioning functions, it is very complete, such as wind direction selection, internal/external circulation, separate adjustment of front and rear exhaust air outlets, independent temperature control of the left and right wind zones, etc., which can be completed by touching the screen in the middle. In addition, Tesla is also the most advanced in the industry in terms of autonomous driving.
Of course, with the current level of technology, do not believe in the automatic driving of the car. However, at high speeds, it is very comfortable to use Tesla's AP assisted driving. Relatively speaking, BYD Han certainly has some intelligent systems that make people feel advanced, such as:
BYD has automatic parking, keyless entry, central control voice operating system and so on. In terms of assisted driving, it is a little behind Tesla. It is no problem to use full-speed adaptive cruise on relatively straight roads, but when encountering relatively large curves and undulating pavements, they cannot be recognized and require manual intervention. This, which can be considered to be the technology in terms of automatic driving, is inferior to Tesla.
Fifth, safety, BYD wins.
First of all, Tesla's single pedal problem is indeed a major safety hazard.
Because the accelerator pedal can be released to brake, the owner only needs to operate the accelerator pedal most of the time. If there is an emergency, in the case of no response to releasing the accelerator pedal, some owners will think that the single pedal mode is temporarily failing, and will try to re-step on the accelerator pedal and then release the brake. In this way, it will cause the result of using the throttle as a brake. Therefore, it has to be said that this is a security risk.
Second, as mentioned earlier, tesla's current battery safety performance lags behind BYD's blade battery.
Third, Tesla emphasizes intelligence too much, which is also a security risk. Because, intelligent driving technology, in the final analysis, is the replacement of electronic products for people to achieve driving. And electronic products, the electronic system itself, the phenomenon of caton, crash and other phenomena, for automatic driving will be fatal.
Fourth, Tesla's minimalism allows most of the functions to be operated through the middle central control screen, which makes the driver have to move his gaze to the central control screen, distracting the driver's attention. Therefore, this is also not conducive to safe driving.
On the whole, BYD does not use a single pedal mode, so there is no safety hazard of single pedal. In addition, although BYD also emphasizes some sense of technology, it still retains many manually operated things and does not make drivers rely too much on the car's intelligent system.
Therefore, in terms of safety performance, BYD wins.
Sixth, pioneering, Tesla won.
Now, let's take a look at tesla's innovations:
First, buy a car nationwide uniform naked car price, free choice of insurance companies. Other brands of car 4S stores, a lot of routines in the store, seem to have more opportunities to make money, but reduce sales efficiency.
Second, why does Tesla emphasize the intelligence of cars and automatic driving systems? Because Tesla is learning from Apple and making money from software.
Third, the minimalist design of the internal function button, although it looks cheap, does greatly improve production efficiency and reduce costs.
Fourth, integrated die-casting molding, reduce parts processing time, reduce parts welding, assembly time, suppliers supply materials or parts directly to the production line, reduce logistics and warehousing links, as far as possible to achieve zero inventory. This is Tesla's innovation in the production process, making the production efficiency of Tesla factories greatly crush similar factories.
Fifth, Tesla has been emphasizing user experience, and indeed is trying to develop some more experiential products.
OF COURSE, BYD is also groundbreaking, in the field of new energy vehicles, its number of patents is still more than Tesla. Even, BYD can also produce car-grade chips, but also can produce excellent performance blade batteries, it seems that there are many technical advantages. In fact, both product performance and production efficiency lag behind Tesla.
Because in the final analysis, BYD's pioneering is mainly to improve the function of the product itself.
Tesla's innovation is a subversive innovation in user experience, product performance, production methods, sales thinking, and profit models. And these innovations make its production efficiency and profitability far exceed its peers.
If anyone can change the new energy automobile industry in the future, it can only be Tesla.
Therefore, in the groundbreaking part, Tesla won.
All in all
Tesla's main advantages lie in electronic control management technology and unmanned driving technology, in addition, Tesla has great advantages in brand power and product strength, and the brand premium is high. BYD's main advantage is that the three major parts of the motor, electronic control and battery are all independent technologies, of which the power battery life, safety performance and cost performance advantages are more obvious.
If you consider the cost performance, appearance, interior, space, functional practicality, then choose BYD, if you care more about the brand face, then maybe Tesla is better.
