626【High-tech Sports Car】
The first day of the Bib Gourmand Challenge focused on automotive safety and environmental testing. Not only electric vehicles, but also gasoline vehicles can participate, and the test content includes noise, energy consumption, acceleration, snaking, carbon dioxide emissions and on-site exhaust pollutant emissions.
The most nonsense is carbon dioxide emissions, which is known as the "from oil well to tire" calculation method, which covers the entire production and transportation process of this car. Anyway, at the level of Song Weiyang, a liberal arts student, he looked at the calculation formula for a long time, but he didn't understand how to calculate it.
Moreover, Michelin's calculation data has become an environmental standard in the automotive industry.
There are a total of seven test items, and Tesla performed well, getting two A's, four B's, and one C's. As for the hydrogen energy vehicle "Beyond No. 2", which was funded by the state and developed by Tongji, it directly got five A and two B, and raised its eyebrows in front of its counterparts all over the world.
The main event of the second day was the "International Symposium on New Energy Vehicles", which was attended by the president and vice president of Michelin, as well as the senior management of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Nissan and other companies. There are also vice presidents of the European Union Energy Exchange Commission, former presidents of the European Parliament, and dignitaries from the United States, Japan, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, India, Brazil and other countries.
On the Chinese side, the leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the State Environmental Protection Administration, and the Foreign Trade Corporation, as well as local officials from Shenghai, several state-owned car companies, and the CEOs of two barrels of oil attended the meeting, which was held at the Automotive Institute of Tongji University.
Even though Song Weiyang is the richest man in China, he has a small role in the auto industry and can only sit down with Tesla's president.
Everyone is unanimously optimistic about the development prospects of new energy vehicles in China, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and other companies executives, all believe that the market popularity of new energy vehicles, China will definitely be able to lead the world. This is not sycophancy, but out of practical considerations, because China's car ownership is very small, China's car supporting services are not perfect, but it is conducive to the promotion of new energy vehicles.
No one expected that before new energy vehicles were launched in China, traditional fuel vehicles had already become popular - you can buy a car with a down payment of a few thousand yuan, and no one will believe you when you say it now.
On the third day, hundreds of passenger cars and concept cars were placed on the Shenghai International Circuit for guests and media friends to test drive.
It's finally Tesla's turn to be in the limelight!
Previously, people's attention was on BMW, Nissan and GM's new energy vehicles.
What Nissan brought to the exhibition was an SUV, with a clumsy and clumsy shape, and a square and hard-core feeling. It is a hydrogen-powered vehicle with a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour and a theoretical range of 350 kilometers.
BMW brought a concept sedan to the exhibition, similar to the three-seat design of a sports car, but the appearance makes people want to complain and can't find a slot. The body can be said to have no bright spots at all, it is an ordinary sedan, and it is not as good as Nissan's SUV. Lithium battery vehicle, the maximum speed is 135 kilometers per hour, and the theoretical cruising range is 300 kilometers.
GM directly came up with three new energy vehicles, a bus, a car, and a pickup truck. The shape of the passenger car and pickup truck is just like that, no different from ordinary fuel vehicles, and the sedan is so ugly that it explodes - Wuling Hongguang cuts off a third of the butt of the car, you imagine what it looks like.
These three companies are mainly to show their technology, so they didn't put much thought into the exterior design, so they gave Tesla a chance to stand out.
In addition to those who are engaged in technology and making cars, 99% of the test drivers are ordinary people. They don't care what drive technology you use, and no matter what fuel cell you use, first of all, they look better than whose car they use. This led to a queue of more than 20 meters in front of Tesla's booth, all waiting to get on the car and experience it.
Hu Gang, a reporter for Commercial Vehicle magazine, went straight to the BMW booth and then to the Nissan and GM booths. The so-called understanding of the situation is to get a leaflet with the basic data of the car on display, and then take a few photos of the car.
After wandering around for a while, Hu Gang saw the queue, and immediately trotted over to inquire about the situation: "Dude, what brand of booth is this, why are you all queuing?"
"It's a Tesla, it's very stylish. The other party replied.
There were already several large circles in front of the booth, and Hu just managed to squeeze in and found that Tesla employees were introducing the situation to several leaders: "Our car door uses electronic induction technology, as long as there is a key on the body, close to the door and gently pull, the door will be automatically raised." Of course, you can also use the key remote control, leaders, please see my operation. ”
The employee reached for the handlebar, and after an inaudible sound, he grabbed the handlebar and pulled it gently, and the vertical door immediately moved upward. The employee took out the key and took a few steps back, pressed it casually, and the door automatically lowered and closed.
"Wow!"
The crowd erupted in amazement, and they all felt that this car was so sci-fi and high-end.
Hu Gang felt a little speechless, this technology was adopted by sports car manufacturers many years ago. As far as electronic induction is concerned, have you ever seen the automatic flushing in the toilet? The basic principle is the same.
Today, other manufacturers are demonstrating advanced technologies, and many of them are concept car technologies that cannot be mass-produced. Only Tesla came to show off its appearance, showing off what electronic induction doors, and it actually attracted the most people to cheer.
Tesla, Hu Gang knows that the toy car of the richest man in Song is a pit dad's goods sold by the nouveau riche and the rich second generation.
A leader estimated that he was from a technical background, and he was a little impatient when he saw it, and asked directly: "Does this car have any advanced technology?"
"Of course," said a Tesla employee with a smile, "our battery pack management and control system, as well as our unique motor technology, have been patented in countries such as China and the United States." This Tesla belongs to the third generation of products, accelerating to 100 kilometers in just 5.9 seconds, with a theoretical range of 500 kilometers and a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour. ”
The leader was surprised: "What kind of battery are you using? It can run 500 kilometers." ”
The Tesla employee replied: "BYD's lithium iron phosphate battery." ”
"Lithium iron phosphate batteries don't provide that much energy. The leader wondered.
"Of course, one battery can't work, but we use 8,000 batteries to form a battery pack," Tesla employees laughed, "We have our own battery pack control system, even if some of the batteries are short-circuited, it will not affect the work of the entire battery pack." ”
The leader couldn't help but laugh: "What are you doing...... It's a little clever, but it seems to have great wisdom. ”
A Tesla employee said: "This is the method that our chairman, Mr. Song Weiyang, came up with. ”
The leader asked, "Listening to your previous introduction, Tesla has already been commercialized?"
A Tesla employee said, "So far, we've sold just 40 vehicles. ”
"Little workshop," the leader asked, a little disappointed, "do you have a license plate for car production?"
"Yes. The Tesla employee replied.
The leader immediately stopped interrogating, a company as big as Wanxiang Group, launched the electric vehicle project four years ago, and has not yet obtained a production license. Song Weiyang can get a license with a small workshop, but he must have left the relationship, and the relationship is very hard.
After Hu Gang received the leaflet at the booth, he planned to go around other places, and after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but come back to take pictures. The main reason is that the shape of this car is particularly stylish, and it looks like a supercar, how can a man not like this thing.
It happened that someone came back from a test drive, and Hu Gang immediately went to interview: "How do you feel about Tesla?"
"Awesome, very awesome," the man gave a thumbs up, "I can't hear any noise, I run very smoothly, and the interior is super luxurious, and I can also play songs with MP3! I don't have money, I will definitely buy it when I have money, I heard that this car costs 8 million!"
As soon as he heard it, he was a layman, so Hu Gang simply ran to line up for a test ride.
The queue waiting for the test drive was very long, and there were only more than ten test ride queues, and Hu Gang waited hard to finally sit in the passenger cab. He has to admit that Tesla's interior is really beautiful, and there is an indescribable sense of sci-fi.
After looking for a long time and not finding the gear, Hu Gang buried himself in studying the information on the leaflet, only to find that Tesla did not have a transmission at all, only a reducer.
As a sports car, this is not qualified!
"Dude, this is a sports car, try it at full speed. Hu Gang said to the test driver.
The test driver immediately slammed on the accelerator pedal, and a strong feeling of pushing his back suddenly hit, and the person hurriedly stepped on the brakes and said, "Fuck, scare me!"
Hu Gang continued to read the information and found that the third-generation Tesla adopts a dual-motor design to achieve an acceleration of 100 kilometers in 5.9 seconds. This data is crazy, BMW's new energy car, it takes 10 seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometers - Tesla has been crazy in order to cater to the pursuit of speed by the rich second generation, and has also reduced the weight of dozens of kilograms.
The test driver parked the car on the edge of the track and said to Hu Gang: "Friend, you can drive, I'll try other functions." ”
"Okay. Hu Gang immediately got out of the car.
The previous test driver sat in the passenger cab and began to tinker with the electronic screen of the driver's platform, and soon said excitedly: "Awesome, there are also car navigation, car MP3, color full touch screen operation! This car is too high-tech, worthy of the toys of the richest man in Song." ”
A few years ago, the error of on-board GPS positioning was still very large. However, since 2000, the United States has canceled the interference of civilian GPS, and the accuracy of on-board GPS has reached less than 10 meters, and since then on-board GPS has begun to develop rapidly.
But in China, car GPS is still a very new thing, only a few more high-end models have. Song Weiyang also magnified the Shenzhou handheld computer and got it on the Tesla sports car, not to mention the full touch screen operation, and you can listen to MP3 by inserting a USB flash drive.
After running a lap, Hu Gang deeply felt that the third-generation Tesla would probably be very popular with the local tyrants! This also made him speechless, the brand that has only sold dozens of cars in total has actually developed the third-generation ...... In fact, on the basis of the previous generation, it continuously reduces the weight of the body, modifies the small problems encountered by users, adds various high-tech equipment, and then integrates it into dual motors to improve the acceleration power.
Since 1984, the first year of the Chinese company, this year happens to be the 20th anniversary, so there are various forums and gatherings.
In late October, a forum of Chinese entrepreneurs will be held, which will be attended by well-known private entrepreneurs from all over the country. Song Weiyang received the invitation and delivered an opening speech, he planned to drive the third-generation Tesla over and fool the local tyrants who got rich first to pay for it.
