Recently, a Tesla Model Y owner chat record circulated on the Internet, the owner said that his car hit the corner due to improper operation when reversing, from the pictures released by the owner, it can be seen that the owner's Model Y right rear car tail collapsed seriously, and the tailgate and taillights of his car were damaged to a certain extent!
It is worth noting that according to the screenshot of the chat record exposed by the owner, the owner asked tesla's official after-sales personnel to maintain the quotation, the person said that due to the rear shock absorber package damage, the maintenance cost is estimated to be nearly 200,000 yuan.
After learning the news, the owner was very puzzled and said: "How is it so expensive, this car is only 280,000 to buy, it is better to scrap it"!
After this incident, it immediately attracted the attention of netizens, some netizens said that 280,000 cars to spend 200,000 repairs, no wonder the insurance price increased, then the question is, why is the Tesla Model Y insurance premium of the car that hits the wall at the end of the car as high as 200,000?
Here we have to mention the Tesla Model Y integrated die casting technology, because the right rear shock absorber package of the Model Y in the accident was damaged, and the shock absorption package and the rear body of the vehicle are integrated die-casting, once damaged, the rear body of the vehicle may have to be rebuilt, which is also the main reason for its expensive cost! Of course, the specific reasons are only detailed by the loss center.
The so-called one-piece die-casting molding body, that is, Tesla's Model Y rear body is integrated, through the 6000 tons of die casting machine to press the metal solution into the mold, the original dozens of parts spliced body focused on the production of a single part, no welding, no assembly!
In this way, it can reduce many links on the production line, which can greatly improve production efficiency, and also directly reduce manufacturing costs by 40%!
However, it is actually the technology that of course has disadvantages, once the body of the integrated die-casting is damaged, the maintenance cost will be abnormally high, because the integrated die-casting process involves the integrated molding of complex, large, high-precision parts, which has strict hard requirements for the injection rate and control ability of the die-casting.
It is worth mentioning that in the current mass production line, only Tesla's Model Y model uses integrated die-casting technology and becomes the first person to eat crabs, and the appearance of this technology will be "a change" in the industry.
It is reported that at present, many new energy vehicle companies have also begun to follow up on the integrated molding technology, of course, the sky-high maintenance program using this technology will also give an important reference to the industry, but for car companies in addition to the high maintenance cost of this short board, all others are advantages!
In addition, Tesla is developing CTC technology, the technology is simply and integrated molding technology is a truth, this type of technology as a whole program advantage is very obvious, if it is successfully developed, then it is estimated that the premium will rise again, what do you think about this?
