Tesla also does not come with a charger.
Foreign media Electrork reported that Tesla plans to buy a car in the future and no longer give away mobile charging cables for free with the car.
Of course, Tesla did not use the reason of environmental protection, the emotional intelligence is a little higher, the reason is that the frequency of use is too low, it looks wasteful, so cancel the attached.
The owner is definitely unwilling, the same price, there is no charger (however, the domestic Tesla originally did not send a charger).
Moreover, the cancelled mobile charger is priced at $275 on the official website, which is about 1755 yuan.
Musk then said on Twitter that he would reduce the price of mobile chargers to $200, which would make it easy to buy new cars.
On the one hand, it is said that the frequency of use is too low, resulting in waste, and on the other hand, it is sold, is not this some incoherence, punching yourself in the face?
This reason is obviously difficult to convince others.
Since it will still be sold, it is enough to illustrate a problem, this mobile car charger is certainly still useful, but how useful is it?
This charger has a maximum current of up to 13A, supports 100-240V (single phase) 50Hz AC, and is basically charged at home.
Charging for an hour, you can travel about 2 to 3 miles, which is about 3.2 km -4.78 km.
This, really, can only be an emergency.
And now there are a lot of charging piles with its own line, and the car charger attached to Tesla will be abandoned in emergency.
Dark Horse and Musk have the same idea, the frequency of use is indeed very low, and the cancellation is not a big deal.
This time, from a practical point of view, the dark horse stands on the side of the capitalist, canceling a charger that is not used much, more or less can save resources and be more environmentally friendly.
This is not quite the same as Apple canceling the charger.
Apple cancels chargers, and if it wants to do so, either through ancestral chargers, such as the iPhone 11 Pro.
The charger of the Android camp is not good, because the data cable that apple comes with, the other end is the USB-C port, and most of the Android camp chargers are USB-A ports, and the specifications are not matched.
If it is a new user, it is only possible to spend money on a new charger.
Anyway, it's not cool.
Tesla this charger is not the same, do not buy it, the impact is not big.
Well, if it's all said and done, then say something ugly.
From the perspective of consumer rights and interests, for this kind of private cancellation of chargers, dark horse is incomprehensible.
Don't talk about efficiency, spend the same money, get less, why?
And even if the efficiency is low, it can be charged.
After this news broke, many car owners have posted photos of their use of car charging, and even more posted data on their own use ratio, calling for continued gifts with car charging.
Secondly, the rights and interests of consumers, manufacturers can cancel for any reason, and do not give any compensation, then is it not as long as the manufacturer has a mouth, you can decide the rights and interests of consumers?
Today is the charger, then tomorrow is not to say that their own service is particularly good, do not need the owner to repair the car, so do not deliver tire wrenches?
Needless to say, this is not uncommon among mobile phone manufacturers.
Now who remembers that the previous mobile phones would usually come with a pair of headphones?
According to the 2021 global pure electric vehicle sales data released by markLines, a global automotive information platform, Tesla ranked first with sales of 936,000 vehicles, accounting for about 20% of the total sales of pure electric vehicles in the world.
Tesla, as the world's first electric vehicle sales brand, has a strong brand influence, even in 2022, the lack of core, sales concerns are far smaller than other car companies.
There is not much pressure on sales, and because of this, the greater the ability, the greater the impact. Tesla should be more cautious when facing consumer rights.
