There is no need to over-interpret the Tesla recall, consumers return to rationality, Tesla can make better progress

Recently, a piece of information about "Tesla recalled nearly 130,000 Model 3s" spread wildly on major platforms, attracting the attention of many netizens. Let's take a look at the Tesla recall plan announced by the State Administration for Market Regulation.

On April 7, Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulations in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations on the Administration of the Recall of Defective Automobile Products and the Implementation Measures for the Administration of the Recall of Defective Automobile Products.

As of April 7, 2022, the recall will recall a total of 127785 imported and domestically produced Model 3 electric vehicles with production dates from January 11, 2019 to January 25, 2022 (including 34,207 imported Model 3 vehicles and 93,578 domestic Model 3 vehicles).

What are the hidden dangers of Tesla recalling these batches of vehicles? There may be minor manufacturing differences in the rear motor inverter power semiconductor components of these batches of vehicles, and the component manufacturing differences after some vehicles are used for a period of time may cause the rear inverter to fail, resulting in the inverter not being able to control the current normally.

This failure occurs when the vehicle is in a parked state, which will cause the vehicle to fail to start; this failure occurs when the vehicle is in a driving state, which will cause the vehicle to lose driving power, and in extreme cases, it may increase the risk of collision of the vehicle, and there is a safety hazard.

For these recalled vehicles, Tesla's handling method is remote OTA upgrade, it seems that Tesla's means of handling recalls are very good, everything can be OTA, and I hope that OTA upgrades can completely solve the security risks of consumer use.

It is reported that Tesla will upgrade the motor control software for the vehicles within the scope of the recall free through the remote upgrade technology of the car; for the vehicles that cannot be recalled through the remote upgrade technology of the car, the relevant users will be contacted through the service center to upgrade the motor control software for the vehicle, so as to closely monitor the rear motor inverter of the vehicle, and timely replace the rear inverter with related failures free of charge to eliminate safety hazards.

Of course, before the elimination of hidden dangers in the vehicle, the owner is best to drive the vehicle cautiously, can not open on the drive, after all, stall is not a small problem, can not touch the good, encounter is a big problem, these owners are best to take the initiative to contact the Tesla service center for maintenance, eliminate the safety hazards and then drive.

The problem of inverter failure has actually occurred long ago, but because it is an example, it has not caused any turmoil. As early as last January, a car owner who had just bought a Model 3 for only 6 days was charged at the Tesla supercharge station, and the whole car was cut off and could not start. To this end, Tesla staff said: The reason is that the current of the national grid is too large, causing the inverter to burn out, and there is no problem with the vehicle itself. However, the response of the State Grid Nanchang Power Supply Company is inconsistent with Tesla's statement: the voltage was normal at the time of the incident, in line with national regulations, and it was recommended that Tesla seriously find the reason for the vehicle.

Recently, on April 6, a Tesla Model 3 owner encountered a thrilling scene of car stalling on the highway, and fortunately there was no accident in the end.

According to the owner, when the stall occurs, the owner of the car at a speed of 100 yards normal driving in the tunnel, suddenly without warning, the screen shows "the vehicle can not continue to drive, please stop immediately", because there is a car behind to follow, the driver stepped on the electric door deeply, but the car did not respond. After the 0.5S reaction time, the owner immediately hit the double flash, and changed two lanes in a row, and finally stopped in the emergency lane, because it completely lost power, and the body only went in half. After parking the vehicle, the owner immediately contacted Tesla's sales and some staff, and towed the car to the Tex after-sales processing center, Tesla's initial communication said that the fault code pointed to the inverter.

These problems do exist, and there are many cases across the country, and it is in this situation that Tesla has to recall the vehicle. Of course, this recall must have a certain impact on Tesla's reputation, whether it will affect Tesla's sales, this is not easy to say, after all, after last year's Shanghai Auto Show Tesla female car owner rights protection incident, Tesla's sales have not had much impact, but has been rising.

Tesla in the global market is difficult to find a car, according to the data show that Tesla produced 305,400 electric vehicles in the first quarter, the global delivery of more than 310,000 vehicles, an increase of more than 60% year-on-year, slightly higher than the previous quarter delivery of 308,600 vehicles. In addition to the shortage of parts and cores, Tesla's Shanghai factory was shut down for 6 days in March, losing about 15,000 vehicles, and the resumption time is currently undecided. With the delivery of the Berlin factory last month, Tesla's future production capacity will continue to climb.

In fact, there is no terrible problem, as long as you do things seriously, you will definitely encounter various problems, the important thing is how to solve the problem, Tesla's quality is not what is wrong with it, I don't think it is necessary, small places are not doing well, but the big aspects are definitely no problem. Tesla's problem is that consumers are mainly divided into two camps of "special blowing" and "special black", forming two extremes, there is no middle ground, and there are fewer rational car owners.

Tesla is not a god, it also has a variety of problems, so the "special blowers" should not be too deified of this car, and problems should be bravely raised, so that the vehicle can have better room for improvement. "Extra black" should not only stare at Tesla's flaws, but also fail to see Tesla's strength in new energy enterprises.
