"Car Matrix" car evaluation: The controversial Tesla handed over a sales report card of 59,845 vehicles in China in January, down 15.5% month-on-month, of course, not all sold to domestic users, but exported 40,499 vehicles, and domestic retail sales of 19,346 vehicles. In the handling of some car owners' extreme rights protection incidents, Tesla is a bit of a sign of "shop bullying", never admitting any problems of itself, and blindly emphasizing the accident caused by the user's driving and other operational problems, counterclaiming the female owner of Henan Anyang is really a bit "pattern" small. The sales of Tesla Model 3 in the middle of public opinion are obviously greatly affected, the decline is very obvious, and the Model Y as an SUV does not seem to be affected, sales still maintain a steady increase, of course, Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory only 2 domestic models are indeed a bit less, and Tesla does not follow the conventional routine from time to time to raise the price or let consumers complain.
Tesla's entry-level model has been exposed by overseas media, but this new entry-level model that may be named "Tesla Model 2" has not received an official response from Tesla. Just after the Lunar New Year, Zhu Xiaotong, Global Vice President of Tesla and head of Greater China, confirmed that the next Tesla entry-level new model will be domestically produced by the Shanghai Gigafactory, and the new car is most likely to be named "Tesla Model Q", not the Tesla Model 2 that people speculated earlier, and is expected to carry out in-depth cooperation with BYD, the leading chinese new energy car company, or will be equipped with BYD's latest blade battery.
The new car is positioned as a pure electric compact hatchback, the size is slightly smaller than the Model 3, the price is expected to be between 160,000-200,000 yuan, its arrival or will bring great impact to the new domestic car manufacturing forces. As we all know, BYD in the field of new energy for many years, its technology has reached the world-class level, experiments have proved that the blade battery needle piercing effect is much stronger than ordinary lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries, the safety performance is more outstanding, based on this Tesla new car equipped blade battery to achieve "strong combination" can be described as a corner overtaking, so as to maximize the proportion of the market. Let's wait and see.
