Chapter 182: The End and Anticipation

Jeremy's dislike of touchscreens didn't displease anyone, including Wenming.

Because this is only a subjective shortcoming, it will not have any impact on Tesla's future sales. Now that you have decided to use the full touch screen, you must give up those consumers who like physical buttons.

If you force both, it will make the center console of the Model-S indecent.

"Before I can start testing the car's range and acceleration time to 100 km/h, I need to test a few other features."

Jeremy said to the camera: "To be honest, I don't think these functions are of any use, after all, for a veteran driver like me, the driving feeling of full control is the most real and attractive to me." ”

After saying this, Jeremy gently stepped on the accelerator and let the Model-S he was driving enter the parking lot area of the test site, but he did not directly let the car go inside the standard parking line, but parked very casually on the edge of the parking line.

"Yes, I stopped here to verify the Auto-Parking function of the Model-S. To tell you the truth, I don't think this feature really should exist in a car, because you can't even park it, so why drive? ”

In the shot, after Jeremy finished complaining, he issued a command to Siri to start automatic parking, and the camera in the car was also aimed at the large central control screen. At the same time, a picture taken from the outside of the vehicle appeared on the projection screen at the press conference.

From the footage outside the car, you can fully see that behind the transparent front windshield, Jeremy is sitting in the driver's seat and raising his hands high.

Jeremy's voice can also be heard: "They made me raise my hands like I surrendered, damn it, I think my appearance fee for today was a little low." ”

In the picture inside the car, a panoramic image of the surroundings of the Model-S appeared on the center control screen, and this technology was absolutely rare in 2010.

Jeremy exclaimed with his hands in the air, "It's so clear? However, since there is such a clear reversing image, and it is also a panoramic view, why do you need an automatic parking function? This reversing image appeared, and my elementary school kids were able to pull their cars into the garage. ”

At this time, no one paid attention to Jeremy's complaints, because the audience at the press conference was attracted by the actions of Model-S, and Jeremy in the driver's seat raised his hands high, while the co-pilot was sitting a cameraman, carrying a camera.

However, the Model-S, which was outside the stop line, moved relatively slowly, but methodically.

It's like there really is an old driver in the car and starts to reverse into the garage, the vehicle advances, finds the right position and angle, plays the wheel and reverses, minutes, Jeremy drove, no, is the Model-S that he is riding, it is already very standard parked in the parking line.

Jeremy put down his hands in the driver's seat and said helplessly, "Okay, let's start another phase of testing of the automatic parking technology." ”

Is there another paragraph?

The audience at the press conference was intrigued as Jeremy drove the Model-S to another area of the parking lot, where two Teslas were already parked side by side in the parking space. However, the parking of the two cars was not standard, resulting in an unusually narrow parking space between the two Tesla cars, and if the car was parked, the person did not open the door and get out of the car.

Jeremy parked his Model-S in front of the two Teslas and got out of the car at the same time as the cameraman.

"If this feature can be realized, I think I will also like this automatic parking function. Even if I like the feeling of driving by myself. ”

Jeremy, who got out of the car, took out an iphone under the cameraman's lens, and then opened a Tesla T-shaped Loge software.

They said it was a software designed specifically for Tesla, capable of starting Tesla's cars from a distance and turning on the air conditioning in advance. Of course, this is an unusual use in both summer and winter. ”

"However, this is not what we are going to test today, because it is not new. What we're going to test is the automatic parking feature that comes with it. ”

Jeremy pressed the button on the iPhone for Tesla's special turnaround to automatically park under the camera, and then the empty Model-S began to act.

After a near-perfect positioning, the Model-S came to a halt between two Tesla cars without any scrapes in between.

The exclamation sounded again at the press conference, many people will encounter this situation in the process of driving, a good parking space because of some people's non-standard parking, resulting in their own can drive in, but can not get out of the car.

And now, the problem is solved.

Jeremy's performance, or Model-S's performance, is not over yet, and at this point Model-S has already turned off the engine after completing the automatic parking.

Jeremy, on the other hand, began to demonstrate the remote-start function he had just mentioned, not only starting the car, but also using the technology of automatic parking to make the Model-S parked in the gap run out on its own.

The exclamation sounded again, and after Jeremy got into the Model-S, the audience could see that the air conditioner had been turned on according to Jeremy's orders when he started the car.

Full of science and technology, this adjective Model-S is really well deserved.

Many people at the press conference had this feeling in their hearts, however, this is not the end.

"The Parallel Assist system allows us to avoid accidents even if we are a little negligent while driving."

"These systems are integrated into Tesla's collision warning system, if there is an obstacle or pedestrian in front of the vehicle, then the Model-S with this system enabled will forcibly cut off the power and apply emergency braking when you press the accelerator. In other words, driving this car, even if you want to hit someone, it's hard. ”

In order to demonstrate this system, Jeremy was very crazy and stood on the road himself, and then let someone else drive towards him in a Model-S.

"I personally came to experiment with this system because Tesla bought me a $300 million accident insurance. So, please don't imitate it. ”

Model-S drove towards Jeremy at 70 yards, and just 8 meters away from Jeremy, Model-S made a screeching sound, which was the sound of the tires rubbing against the ground after emergency braking.

At the same time, on the projection screen at the press conference, there was also a picture under the driver's seat.

In the picture, the driver does not put his foot on the brakes, but on the accelerator.

Model-S stopped in front of Jeremy, and the press conference resounded with warm applause, and all the audience, whether they were in the industry or not, took the initiative to stand up and applaud.

After that, Jeremy's range test and charging time test were both done in fast-forward playback.

In fact, these latter reviews are irrelevant, because the range and charging time are the least to be faked.

"After I completed this review, I hoped that Tesla would give me this Model-S. Of course, I'm not trying to rob Tesla, but I'm hoping to be able to use my appearance fee in exchange for this Model-S. ”

Jeremy said at the end of the video: "As we all know, my appearance fee is actually very high, and although this Model-S is the top match, it can't be deducted from my appearance fee at all." But my request was denied, can you imagine? ”

"Well, actually, I still don't like this car very much, at most, when it comes to the market, buy one and keep it at home for collection."

No one cares about Jeremy's feelings, and all the viewers are curious about how much the car will sell for and when they will be able to buy it.

After the review video, it was also the end of the press conference.

Wen Ming returned to the center of the stage and said to the audience: "This is all the functions of our Tesla's new pure electric four-door coupe Model-S, and we at Tesla strive to create a real high-tech car while building new energy vehicles." In the near future, we at Tesla will definitely be the first company to launch a truly unmanned self-driving car. ”

After being amazed, there is also a goal to look forward to, which is the operation of the product launch.
