This article is Tesla mode? In the first issue of Interview with Car Owners, this car owner is a very familiar friend of Chongqing Car Owners Club-Lao Wang of University Town. He always shared his experience the first time and took pains to answer questions for the riders in the group. Let's listen to this big coffee.
Wang Yadong, born in 1980s, is the head of Chongqing Huanjing Science and Technology Co., Ltd., a native of Chongqing, and has a hot pot culture. ? Maybe it's because of men's nature I am interested in technology, machinery and structure. I want to have my own car when I grow up. I heard from the teacher that I can realize my wish by studying hard. I didn't expect that I really bought my own "battery car" after studying hard, but my original dream plan was Yadea electric car, but I bought Tesla's "battery car". ? On April 26th, 20 19, I became attached to Tesla and "took away" a blue long-life Model3 at the delivery center of Huijin Road in Chongqing. Today is April 6, 2020, and there are 10 days left. ? Actively participate in Chongqing model association this year? 2 Huiyou are held by 3 groups; Actively speak in the WeChat group and enthusiastically help most riders to answer the problems encountered in the use of vehicles; It also provides one-on-one consultation and answer service for individual riders who are inconvenient to watch group news; Every time there is a big update and upgrade of OTA software version, I will interact with riders for the first time to discuss new functions and experiences. ? I am honored to have this opportunity to make a year-end summary report on car use, and I can speak freely. Please correct me if there is anything wrong.
My initial car purchase plan was Audi A5. 20 19 mid-March, I was in Guangzhou with a model? In the process of chatting with the owner of S, he recommended Model to me. 3。 His car has traveled more than 300,000 kilometers and only spent more than 2,000 yuan (because charging more is free), so I strongly advise me not to buy an oil car. I actually said no at that time, because I felt that the car of 654.38+0 million was far beyond my budget. ? My first impression of Tesla was probably at 20 15 or 20 16. I saw a video in QQ group: the driver can drive the car automatically without holding the steering wheel. At that time, I was shocked that the development of automobile technology could be played like this? Then through understanding, I learned that the brand of this car is Tesla. I was deeply attracted by this T-shaped LOGO and this big screen and asked about the price: more than 65,438+0 million, so I gave up all ideas and never paid attention to this car again. ? Is the topic back to Guangzhou mode? The owner of. On the way to dinner with him that night, he specially arranged for me to sit in the passenger seat and experience it. Before getting on the bus, I was attracted by the electric retractable door handle that I had never seen before in other cars. Big screen display, small screen real-time display of three-dimensional models of surrounding vehicles, real-time rendering of pedestrians, motorcycles, bicycles, dizzy feeling of pushing my back, AP automatic driving, I can't resist it. ? That night, I looked for car reviews online and learned all the functions of cars. I made an appointment for a test drive in Guangzhou on the third day. At that time, it was the end of March, which was the stage when the first car owners in China picked up their cars. ? As I live in Chongqing, I quickly finished processing things in Guangzhou, and went directly to the store to place an order when I returned to Chongqing. The day was April 20 19, and the car was picked up eight days later. What impressed me deeply was that when I picked up the car, the delivery man gave me all the information, so I got on the bus and drove away directly. The little girl in the delivery center asked me doubtfully: Are you sure you don't need me to tell you anything? I answered her two words: thank you!
The biggest reason for choosing Model3 is that the price is within my budget. I think the next car target should be Model? Ten.? With regard to battery life, I did not hesitate to choose the rear-drive long battery life, because I was still worried that the later battery life would bring me trouble.
1) The overall feeling is good, just like falling in love. When you like her, you will tolerate all her shortcomings. ? 2) It's really cool to speed up, which can never be experienced by a fuel car with the same price, especially when overtaking and climbing. ? 3) The use cost is really low, which can be reflected in the later use cost. ? 4) The sense of science and technology is really good; Large display screen; And the simple design of the whole center console; ? 5) I enjoy the joy brought by every software OTA upgrade. After every upgrade, I feel that I have changed to a new car, which will always bring you many unexpected functional upgrades, so that I will be full of expectations for the upgrade every time. I even doubt whether each version can provide me with the opportunity of internal testing. These are all temporarily unavailable to other brands. ? I thought the car I bought had a low passing rate. Unexpectedly, less than a year later, it has become a streetcar. If you drive on the road, you will see two cars at the same time. Makes me wonder if I made the right choice. As heroes think, so thought Bruce. You made the right choice!
Autopilot. It makes my long-distance driving easier, helps me share the driving work, and adds a confidence guarantee for my driving safety. ? In the city, I started to use AP as soon as I was free, but I stopped driving when I got to expressway, which made my driving easier and more dependent on autonomous driving. I really look forward to the early arrival of traffic light recognition in China.
1) Although Model 3 is the cheapest model in the Tesla family, it is also a mid-level car in the automotive field, and the door handle uses less electricity than the family car. Neither the front trunk nor the trunk is actually electric. This money-saving strategy makes me feel that this is the biggest shortcoming of this car. Because modifying the electric door yourself will involve wiring modification, I am very worried about the impact and anxiety caused by this modification on the after-sales of the whole vehicle, and the official has not provided such an upgrade service in the service center. ? 2) In the case of a relatively narrow parking space, smart calling is originally a very useful function, but it is often not available on the APP. No matter whether the network is good or bad, there will always be various tips to make this function unavailable. I thought this problem could be solved by software OTA upgrade, so I waited for N versions to be upgraded, and the results disappointed me. In order to solve this problem, I was forced to buy a physical key. And at that time, the service center did not provide accessories sales service, so I bought it through Taobao. Speaking of physical keys, they are not standard, which is a money-saving strategy. ? Smart call was originally a great highlight function, but I want to say that the environment is particularly selective and the movable range is too small, giving people the impression that it is better to walk there by yourself than to make a phone call. Then, the success rate is too low, and errors such as "the call is not ready" are often prompted. In short, various error prompts prevent you from using this function. I bought a drone for this purpose to shoot the call video, but it really disappointed me, and then I stopped thinking about it. ? I saw some foreign videos perform this smart calling function so brilliantly, and I don't know why it is so difficult to use in China. I don't know when this problem can be solved. ? 3) Other problems: automatic parking can't identify parking spaces for a long time; When using AP and FSD, how to make the system take safety measures quickly when the next car is stuck in traffic jam? The video in sentry mode has a bow area, and the left front and right front positions are almost invisible; I wonder if OTA has made any progress since upgrading to 3.0? In FAD and AP, you can slow down automatically when you change to the expressway or get off the highway, but you can't slow down automatically when you cross the tunnel, because most tunnels in China have a speed limit of 80km/h, and crossing the tunnel at a speed of 120km/h is easy to be punished.
I drive by the rules and use AP most of the time, so I don't have much idea to evaluate the sense of control. Because the chassis of this car is a battery pack, the center of gravity is quite low and it is quite stable to drive. But I have to say that I had two skidding problems. I almost had two accidents because of this problem. I guess I started too fast and the tire grip was not good.
Although there are a lot of negative news on the Internet, I still trust this system on the whole. After long-term use of AP and FSD, I have a deep trust and understanding of the driving and handling of the car. Every time you upgrade, you can also see some modifications and upgrades that can be made on bugs. Even some small changes make me feel that the system is constantly improving. ? Another reason is that the system actively braked me twice, which reduced the accident rate.
1) Charging at home: I hope there are two options for charging: fast charging and slow charging. If it is not urgent at night, you can choose the existing normal charging speed. It is recommended to charge at home to improve the charging speed when it is urgently needed. ? 2) Super charging: the charging speed is quite unstable. There is no V3 charging pile in Chongqing, and I have no experience. However, the current V2 is more than 800 kilometers fast and more than 300 kilometers slow, sometimes it is not as slow as ordinary charging piles of third parties. This can't be explained. ? I have made special observations and tests, not because there is a car nearby that will slow down the charging speed. When I was charging in Chongqing Fortune Center, I was the only car in the eight piles, and the speed was only about 350 kilometers per hour. In short, the speed of going is different every time. ? 3) Car charger: Car charger needs to be purchased separately, but it is still not as fast as a third party in the same electricity consumption environment. Maximum car charger 16A. I have tested that the charging speed is only 10 km at most. I really dare not give high marks for this efficiency. Overcharging can charge more than 800 kilometers per hour, and the battery is acceptable. Why can't it be promoted to thirty or fifty kilometers with the car? Can it be upgraded appropriately? ? 4) Regarding the problem that the super charging station occupies the tanker, some places have installed ground locks, but why are not all stations uniformly implemented? For example, the super charging station of Jiayudi Hotel in Jiulongpo District of Chongqing has been occupied by an oil truck for a long time. I have complained on the official WeChat account and applet for three times, but it has never been resolved, and I have not received a phone call or email reply. This made me stop complaining, because I don't want to do anything without results. It seems that it is not Tesla's style to never reply.
(mileage, average energy consumption, approximate charging cost, maintenance cost)? I made the following statistics on the use cost some time ago:
The above data are for reference only, because I have a free quota for using super charging, so the overall cost of the above data is relatively low.
I made the following statistics on the maintenance cost:
Some riders say that the cost of car washing can't be included in the maintenance, otherwise the advantages of electric vehicles and fuel vehicles will not be reflected.
I don't care about this problem at all. There are natural reasons for enterprises to cut prices. The most important reason is that I can't stop this from happening. But I want to say that it is absolutely necessary to give some psychological comfort to the old leek at the same time, even if it is an email!
1) Don't wait for an official response to any news on the Internet. It's always a little late. Recently, OTA screens often receive some message prompts. Personally, I think this is a good way to spread information. Please convey the important message directly to the host in this way. When there is negative news, I hope the official can come out as soon as possible to give a positive answer. ? 2) Can the price reduction not be so drastic? The price reduction speed is not specified to be directly proportional to the vehicle speed! (Bian Xiao: This should be the most authentic leek feeling, haha! )? 3) The overall management of sales staff needs to be improved.
1) You must consider the battery life when buying a tram. If you buy a car to go to work or buy food to pick up the children, then you can buy it according to the cheapest domestic version. ? 2) If you still have to run a short distance, then endurance is your primary consideration, and everything else is secondary. It is recommended to buy a long battery life. ? 3) Tesla's 100-kilometer acceleration has always been excellent, and no matter which version is fast, if you are a perfectionist or a racing driver, you don't have to consider the budget. Choose the high-performance version!
4) What do you think of Model? At present, it is the most cost-effective car in the family. If you don't have to consider the budget and have high requirements for space and air suspension, then choose the model? Standard & Poor's. Models? x! ? 5) If you choose Tesla, the initial investment may be greater, so don't worry about it later. The use cost is really ultra-low. In the era of rising oil prices, Tesla makes you use it without pressure. ? 6) Any problem that can be solved by software upgrade is not a problem. Ordinary minor problems can be solved through background software upgrades, saving you the time to go to the 4S shop. Because there is nothing to talk about in this car at ordinary times, I will add some glass water and change some air filters. I also want to tell you that because it is "zero emission", there is no need to pay vehicle and vessel use tax. Now the state has preferential policies and no purchase tax. The money saved can be used to buy FSD, because FSD is the soul of Tesla. ? 7) Comrades who are always worried that the battery will not work, afraid that it will be used soon, and say that trams can't run long distances, I want to tell you: you don't have to worry too much about this problem. ? My car has driven long distance, Chongqing-Guangzhou-Dongguan-Chongqing. I'm not worried about this endurance problem at all. I just need to input the destination on the big screen of the car. The system will plan the route for you, and will show you which station you need to charge first, and how much power is left when you arrive? What is the charging time? What is the total journey and time? All the data will be calculated for you. I also want to tell you that the altitude is also taken into account, and the endurance is very accurate, so the energy consumption will be much lower when going downhill, so the endurance will run more and more when going downhill. ? You just need to follow the navigation, but there are still some difficulties in the northwest, and other cities are fine, but you have to plan ahead.
With the continuous expansion of charging piles in the country, running long distances is really not a problem. There is also a comrade in Chongqing Cheyou Group who is over 60 years old and drives with his wife: Chongqing-Zhuhai-Chongqing, and two months later: Chongqing-Sanya-Chongqing. Having said that, I want to say: Young man, what else do you need to worry about? ? 8) Of course, I have to say: If you are particularly concerned about appearance details, workmanship or interior decoration, and ride comfort, if you have high requirements for sound insulation, I advise you not to choose Tesla.
Tesla not only manufactures pure electric vehicles, but also produces infinitely expandable clean energy collection and storage products. Tesla? I believe that the sooner the world gets rid of its dependence on fossil fuels and moves towards zero emissions, the better the future of mankind will be.
