In fact, buying a car is really like choosing a girlfriend, you know that she has such and such shortcomings, and the people around you also have disapproval voices, but you still choose to fall in love with her without hesitation.
Just because she laughs a lot like your future wife? Poof, this damn earthy love story!
The same is true for buying a car, there are thousands of reasons to reject it, but one reason to choose it is enough.
So whenever someone asks me what car I buy, I'll say, "Just buy what you like." This seemingly perfunctory answer is actually not at all wrong.
We always rationally list the advantages and disadvantages of a car, thinking that this can not be bought, that the sales volume is certainly not OK, but the reality is always a slap in the face. No, it was confirmed on Tesla not long ago.
Love and hate
Recently, consumer reports released a new list of brands with the highest car owner satisfaction in 2021. Tesla, which was recently rated as the second-to-last in reliability by Consumer Reports, won the first place in the satisfaction ranking.
It is reasonable to say that Tesla's reliability is in doubt, and the owner should complain about it, how can he still be satisfied?
Before that, it's worth saying what this Consumer Report is all about. Consumer Reports is a non-profit organization that doesn't look at the face of any business, so fairness is relatively secure.
Every other year, they will count the probability of different failures of a car based on the feedback of subscribers, and combine the reliability performance of the same model in previous years to give a total score.
Because the results of the "Consumer Report" survey are based on the US market and consumers, it is not appropriate to copy it to China, but some models are sold in both China and the United States, and the reliability of the same model is generally not different in the two countries, so it still has certain reference significance.
According to the feedback of American car owners, the reliability of Tesla cars is indeed not bad. In the 2021 reliability list, the owners personally put it to the penultimate place.
In fact, this is also expected, especially the Model Y, which has become one of the top ten most unreliable models in 2021, the main problems include short sensor life, heat pump air conditioning is easy to fail and so on.
In addition, in the assembly process is also quite critical, the body sheet metal is not aligned is the most basic. With its "steady" play, Tesla has become the penultimate number two on Consumer Reports' reliability list for two consecutive years.
But even so, car owners are still very tolerant of it, in the 2021 annual owner satisfaction list, Tesla ranked first, and all its models are in the top ten of the list.
This calculation of satisfaction is very simple and crude, that is, to ask the current owner whether he will choose the same model again if he chooses again. The proportion of car owners who say "definitely" among all car owners is the brand's satisfaction score.
Among all the brands, Tesla owners are the most loyal, and about 82% of car owners said that they must also choose Tesla, indicating that they are more interested in other things than reliability.
Driving a Tesla, you are dealing with the world's most advanced electric car, which is declaring the aesthetic and taste of your own trend to the world. Of course, Tesla began with the image of a high-end electric car, the brand (or Musk?). The charm of ) has made more people choose it.
In addition, I believe that people who have driven Tesla recognize its advantages in three electricity and intelligence. Under the same budget, Tesla is indeed one of the few options for those who pursue performance, intelligence, and battery life.
Where is the ideal ONE ideal?
When the pure electric car first came out, everyone sang in unison, and the negative voice focused on the problem of "endurance". The ideal ONE is very smart, using the form of extended-range hybrid to dispel everyone's endurance anxiety, simply put, it is four words: burning oil to generate electricity. The engine is not involved in driving the wheels directly, so the engine can always operate in the efficient zone.
It is true that the problem of fuel consumption has been solved, but there are also many voices on the Internet saying that in the case of power loss, the driving experience will decline.
This statement is not unfounded, after all, in the case of power loss, it is necessary to rely on the 1.2L engine to continuously work to charge the motor, although the acceleration and other aspects have little impact, but the engine noise and jitter will also be there.
Online spray ideal ONE, that is a big search, however, the ideal ONE has become the 300,000 preferred SUV models for fragrant food, in the country is even more hanging a number of fuel vehicles, sitting on the top position of medium and large SUV sales.
Putting aside the above problems, the ideal ONE does solve many pain points for family cars. First of all, the fuel consumption problem has been discussed above, no one can withstand a medium and large SUV, NEDC fuel consumption is only 1.5L/100km, even if the power loss is not only 8-9L/100km fuel consumption level.
Ideal ONE has only one configuration, which avoids the "difficult choice disorder" for users. In this configuration, the ideal ONE has integrated a wealth of intelligent functions, whether it is automatic driving, car entertainment system, voice control, etc., can bring users an excellent experience.
In addition, the ideal ONE is a good companion who can accompany the family to poetry and far away. The 2+2+2 layout allows each passenger to have a freely distributed comfortable space, as well as a calm trunk space, which Dad said was good.
Ideal ONE infinitely good, hot pot to engage in?
The ideal ONE is equipped with a plug-in board, and the electricity charged backward from the charging port is no different from the plug of your home appliance. Not only can you make hot pot, but you can also arrange roast meat, stir-fry, steaming and frying stew. To grasp a person's heart, it is necessary to grasp a person's stomach, which is to grasp the stomach of a family, no wonder so many families choose it.
By the way, it can also be on the green card, a green car that can also run with oil, which solves the endurance and solves the limit number, high, it is really high.
Three-cylinder machine: I don't blame this wave
As soon as it comes out, it will be sprayed with a combination of power, don't even think about it, it must be three cylinders + double clutch, and The more the Auspicious Binyue occupies, the cooler it is.
It's not up to me, as you can see from the sales volume, whether it's a sedan or an SUV, even if it's the top 20 on the list, it's hard to find a best-selling three-cylinder model.
SAIC-GM restarted its four-cylinder engine, X-Trail resumed production and sales of its previous-generation model, and the new Focus returned to the four-cylinder era. Numerous signs also show that the three cylinders have a hard time in China. Although today's three-cylinder engine technology has been optimized a lot, the consumer's impression is not something that can be reversed for a while and a half.
The three-cylinder machine is inherently imperfect, but it is not impossible to make up, and the major car companies have exerted subjective initiative to eliminate problems such as vibration in different ways.
Of course, many people say that "the three-cylinder machine is more fuel-efficient" is not all right. For a simple example, the three-cylinder and four-cylinder of the same 1.5L, the three-cylinder machine has a larger capacity per cylinder, and the single injection volume is also larger than that of the four-cylinder machine. In the case of the same total displacement, in order to complete the same energy work, more "hard" three-cylinder machine, will inevitably need to inject more fuel to drive the operation.
In the end, the three-cylinder engine is still a choice that manufacturers have to make in order to face the increasingly stringent emission regulations.
Although the three-cylinder machine is not optimistic in the domestic situation, but Binyue does not believe in this evil, with strength to tell us that the so-called three-cylinder can not be sold, in the face of high + low price is not a thing.
First of all, Binyue's configuration is very capable of playing, and those popular intelligent voice control, car APP, remote control, air quality management system, etc., have become the icing on the cake of Binyue.
In addition, it is one of the few SUVs equipped with L2 driver assistance in the same class, which realizes 0-150km/h full-speed adaptive cruise, a fully automatic intelligent parking system with one-button control, and lane departure warning, lane keeping and other configurations. And these configurations are only built on an SUV in the early 100,000s.
That set of Geely and Volvo jointly developed 1.5T + 7DCT is not small, not only has a strong acceleration ability, in order to reassure consumers, Geely also launched a 300,000 km or 8-year warranty cycle for Binyue, which is the first three-cylinder engine product with such a long warranty period in the mainland automobile market.
Since the launch of Binyue, the cumulative sales volume has ranked third in the small SUV market, while the top two positions are occupied by Binzhi and XR-V respectively. Obviously, for the honda brothers who sell engines to send cars, Binyue's model from its own brand can occupy this position, which is already very impressive.
And Binyue is very clever to not replace the three-cylinder engine in the whole series, which is not a 1.4T four-cylinder engine to choose from.
summary
People can't be perfect, and cars certainly have advantages and disadvantages. Some people buy a car from the perspective of practicality, from the configuration, space, power, etc. to analyze whether it meets their own needs. And some people are more emotional, like you are eye-catching with a girl, and you can tolerate many of her shortcomings.
