There is a business that has quietly emerged and has intensified recently, that is, the resale of new energy vehicle orders.
This business in the "gray area" has made many scalpers earn a lot of money, tight scheduling, long car lifting cycle, new energy vehicle price increases and other factors have caused many holders to choose to spend thousands of yuan on the second-hand trading platform to buy other people's orders, especially the orders of "net red cars" are very hot on various platforms, and the price is getting higher and higher.
Last week, Tesla in 7 days three times the price increase, a single increase of up to 20,000 yuan, followed by as many as more than 20 new energy vehicle companies have issued price adjustment instructions, a number of consumers in a few days suffered from the experience of the price increase of the favorite model, but the real decision to buy transfer orders is actually the current hot model delivery cycle is too slow.
Xiao Chen is a "quasi-new energy car owner", because the Spring Festival New Year has not gone to see the car, but he originally wanted to order the Tesla Model Y rear-wheel drive version in just a few months, has increased from the initial price of 276,000 yuan to 316,900 yuan, what is more difficult for him to accept is that now the booking cycle is more than 4 months, so Xiao Chen hopes to find a reliable order on the platform and reclaim it at a higher price.
Xiao Chen said to the car buyer: "Now a certain fish is full of transfer Tesla, Xiaopeng, Extreme Kr orders, some are ordered by users who do not want it, some are hoarded by the merchants before, and the general real user prices are low, about 2,000 yuan, 3,000 yuan are also in a hurry, but the scalpers ask for the price is more fierce, 7,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan Some are, specifically look at the delivery time." ”
The car buyer learned that the next tesla needs to pay a deposit of 1000 yuan, which cannot be refunded, but on the second-hand trading platform, the seller will mark the order model, price and pick-up time, according to these vehicle information prices in the range of 2000 yuan-8000 yuan, double the order, this business sounds very good?
Xiaopeng order is also a "fragrant feast" on the second-hand trading platform, the price of Xiaopeng G3i 520N model rose from 185,800 yuan to 201,900 yuan, an increase of 16,100 yuan, but on the second-hand trading platform, the transfer order price of 7999 yuan, equivalent to directly saving 8,000 yuan to the owner, and some time ago, Xiaopeng Automobile contracted the user's car purchase rights, and the order can also send 5,000 optional rights and other points. After asking the seller, the buyer learned that basically after the order transferred in the past two weeks is online, there will soon be interested parties to chat privately, and the specific delivery city and delivery process will be communicated in the private chat.
A scalper seller told the car buyer: "I have Tesla, Xiaopeng, Weilai and other model orders in my hand, basically they can be delivered in March and April, and I am not worried about selling at all." "Because of the rise in raw material prices, chip shortages and other factors, since last year, car companies have fallen into the dilemma of production difficulties, in addition to causing the price of cars to rise, the car cycle has also been delayed again and again, then the second-hand trading platform on the "delivery of the month", "next month delivery", "immediate delivery" of the order is very appropriate, although the order fee is more than a few thousand yuan, but compared to the increase and early pick-up, most of the coin users still feel that it is very cost-effective.
Recently, a Tesla "non-resale commitment letter" was exposed on the Internet, which required the owner of one or more cumulative orders to purchase multiple Tesla vehicles to sign a "non-resale commitment letter", promising not to resell to a third party within one year, and the violator paid a penalty of 20% of the vehicle fare. Tesla's approach is to prevent scalpers from reselling vehicles to earn the difference, but according to industry-related lawyers, Tesla's "non-resale commitment letter" infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
For Tesla's prohibition of scalping orders, sellers also want to do their best to deal with it, so we will see the words "hand in hand transfer" and "full escort" on the second-hand trading platform, and a seller told the car buyer that after paying the order transfer fee, the seller will accompany the buyer to purchase a car and pick up the car, and then go to the buyer's name together.
But what everyone should be clear is that after a set of processes come down, the new car will instantly become a second-hand car, which will affect the price of the replacement of later models, so it is not recommended that everyone get their car in this way.
How to prevent the occurrence of "scalper scalping" has become a lesson for car companies, and the relevant person in charge of Xiaopeng Automobile told the car buyer: "We will strengthen the strict investigation of the source information of the order, and if there is a problem, we will cancel all the rights and interests of the transfer order." "Tank 300 and Tank 500 pre-sale stage has also appeared a large number of scalper scalper scalping orders phenomenon, tank brand has officially issued a notice and the implementation of electronic contract system for model orders, the order of the user can only be modified within 72 hours after signing the agreement (modified 2 times), and if it is a transfer order or unofficial channel purchase, it can not enjoy the first owner of the official 5 years or 150,000 kilometers of vehicle warranty, engine transmission lifetime free warranty and a series of exclusive courtesy policies.
Although the initiative to control scalper behavior is in the hands of car companies, it is very difficult to completely sweep away the scalper order markup behavior. Fundamentally, the emergence of scalpers is to see the profits, master the traffic password of the "net red model" are their opportunities, and now the direct sales model and online car purchase promoted by car companies are the platforms of scalpers, in order to maintain normal market order, car companies need to strengthen the tracking of order information.
For currency-holding consumers, the car buyer believes that the current new energy vehicle market is indeed somewhat turbulent due to some external factors, but this is only temporary, we do not have to worry about spending exponential prices on the second-hand trading platform to buy other people's orders, because this is a risky behavior, we still have to take the formal channels to buy a car, after all, the original intention of buying a car is to reassure, rest assured, we must not lose big because of small losses, resulting in avoidable losses.
