More than a month after the last recall, Tesla has made another recall!
Yes, you read that right, the protagonist is still Tesla. On February 18 this year, Tesla just recalled 26,000 domestically produced Model 3 and Y electric vehicles in China. Unexpectedly, not long after, on April 7, Tesla announced an emergency recall of 127785 Model 3 electric vehicles, including 34207 imported Model 3 cars, 93578 domestic Model 3 cars, and the production date of the recalled vehicles is From January 11, 2019 to January 25, 2022, so please Tesla owners to see if your car is in the recall!
More than 120,000 vehicles? What's going on? According to the official description, the rear motor inverter of the recalled vehicle may fail, which in turn will cause the vehicle to fail to start, lose power during driving, and in extreme cases may increase the risk of collision of the vehicle, and there is a safety hazard.
Isn't it a bit confusing? To put it simply, there is a problem with the inverter of the vehicle and cannot control the current normally, which is still more serious for the tram, so Tesla announced a recall.
In fact, speaking of Tesla, everyone is not unfamiliar with it, it can be described as the hottest brand in the electric vehicle market, on the one hand, as a star brand in the market, its sales have always been very eye-catching, in the past 2021, it ranked first in the pure electric market with 936,100 sales.
Not only that, in the first quarter of this year, under the influence of the global epidemic and the tight supply of chips, the cumulative output reached 305,000 units, and the delivery volume exceeded 310,000 units.
On the other hand, its marketing means are also "eclectic", perennial relying on a variety of topics active in the headlines of the news platform, such as frequent and sharp price cuts, the quality problem "throwing the pot", etc., and even the owner of the car is sitting on the roof of the car to protect their rights, in short, it inadvertently gives you a big news from time to time, but even so it still "missed" the 315 party, it is so magical!
It is also a little strange that the more consumers scold, the better their sales, what is the reason for this?
For the vehicle defects this time, Tesla will solve it through the car remote upgrade (OTA) technology, first contact the relevant users through the service center, upgrade the motor control software for the vehicle, and closely monitor the rear motor inverter of the vehicle, and timely replace the rear inverter with related failures for free to eliminate safety hazards.
In this regard, some car owners have questioned: Can this really solve the problem on the inverter hardware? Why not just do a recall?
It is worth noting that there have been owners exposed this problem, in the Tesla Model 3 car circle, there is a Tesla Model 3 owner who has picked up the car for less than 4 months, is driving normally at a speed of 100 yards on the highway, without warning, the central control screen suddenly displays "the vehicle can not continue to drive, please stop immediately", because there is a vehicle following behind, in order to prevent the vehicle from suddenly stopping, the owner stepped on the electric door but the vehicle did not respond, and had to change two lanes in a row to stop in the emergency lane.
According to the owner's description afterwards, Tesla initially confirmed that the inverter failure led to the occurrence of the accident, and how the inverter caused the vehicle to lose control was not explained. In response to the accident, the owner said that he was unwilling to repair the car and was unwilling to change the car, and has reached a preliminary request for returning the car with Tesla, but he is still not satisfied with the amount of the return.
In short, safety is good, after all, driving on the high speed, once an accident occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable, so Tesla's recall is still very necessary.
In fact, in addition to the domestic market, Tesla's recalls in the United States are even more staggering. According to foreign media reports, from January to February 2022, Tesla recalled four times in the United States, involving more than 1.47 million vehicles. It seems that Tesla's quality problems are indeed difficult to say!
Perhaps this is not unrelated to its rapid development, for an inexperienced car-making rookie, while frantically grabbing the market to catch up with production capacity, quality collapse may be inevitable, but why let consumers pay for it?
Therefore, for this status quo, China's new energy vehicle companies still need to continue to work hard, don't let the market be robbed by others!
