Chapter 143: The New Taxi Driver

And also directly sent the taxi drivers of Tuohai Travel, a total of 30 cars, 30 carefully selected taxi drivers, they don't even need to look at the Beidou map navigation, report a location to find.

In these days, memorizing a map is almost a must-have for a taxi driver, even in the era when online car-hailing was rampant, taxis around the country only need to report an approximate location, and the driver does not need to look at the navigation.

Not to mention the online car-hailing driver, the order is directly taken online, the route navigation is planned, and the order is also a fixed price, and there is no detour problem.

Some "enthusiastic" ride-hailing drivers will take a shortcut when they see unreasonable route planning, on the one hand, to send passengers to the designated place early, and on the other hand, to take a few more orders.

However, the problem caused by this is that it will make some passengers feel panicked, which will lead to all kinds of unnecessary arguments, so in general, online ride-hailing drivers will follow the designated route, saving all kinds of trouble.

After receiving the call from Polestar, the 30 drivers became more and more excited, and hurriedly said:

"Hey, tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes! Have free time! It's very convenient!"

"Don't worry! Mission completion guaranteed! What? Eight hours a day? It's only been that long?"

"Ahem, I was afraid that there would be no electricity... Don't worry, I know the time, I have been driving Haicheng taxi for six years! I'm definitely going back to rest when I'm tired of running, it's okay, isn't there a charging pile! I'll just go and charge it!"

"Can I get the car today?" No, I'm not going to run tonight, I'm thinking that I should familiarize myself with the car in advance, and then I can catch up with most of it tomorrow, after all, I haven't driven the tram before, so I don't know how to drive."

"Okay! I'll be there later!"

「……」

How could a seasoned and experienced taxi driver not drive an easier tram? Said that it will start tomorrow morning, and I was ready to get the car just after answering the phone, no way, anxious!

The Polestar X is so well-known now that they want to experience what it's like to get a taste of it.

When Yang Zhirong sent someone to make a phone call at around 6 p.m., all 30 taxi drivers arrived before 7 p.m., all of them driving their own cars, either bought taxis or private cars.

Unlike the new taxi system that only allows the use of company cars, the previous taxis can be purchased privately, but the appearance is still the appearance of a taxi, and it depends on personal wishes to use it to play a meter and run a black car.

The taxi version of the Polestar X cannot be purchased privately, but you can directly spend money to buy different versions of the same car, which is also the reason why Haicheng Transportation is trying to rectify the taxi industry and make taxis more formal and reliable.

The original "no meter", "carpooling", and "black car" are not allowed in the company of Tuohai Travel, as for other vehicles... Someone uses their own private car to earn some money for the journey, and that's not their business.

Ordinary people only need to look for the Polestar X taxi version, or directly use Tuohai Travel to call a taxi, call an online car-hailing, and if you want to save money, you can also go to Haicheng Bus to plan a route and take a bus at the nearest station.

Chen Zifan has the impression that his father is very annoyed with the taxi driver squatting at the gate of the train station, and he has to be pestered for a long time every time, he still doesn't understand this, the black car driver is also a human being, and it is normal to support his family.

Besides, isn't it more convenient to follow people directly from the station to take the bus than to find a car outside the station? For the same amount of money, you can also save time, so why not sit?

Later, he found an opportunity to experience it, only to find that the so-called time saving is completely wrong, and the money may not be saved, because some black car drivers ask for a very high price, which is not cheaper than a taxi.

After pulling him alone, there are three more people or even many people in the car every time to set off, and if they can't make enough, they won't leave, not to mention the actual riding experience, and the time is wasted in the process of waiting.

So Chen Zifan's attitude towards the black car driver is alienated and sympathetic, alienated because he has other options and will never sit again, sympathetic because they run around in order to make money...

But in real life, you don't need anyone to really sympathize with whom, and you are a student

Letting others is a sign of politeness, and then if you dare to let it, someone will immediately plug it in and take everything for granted.

You can not fight, but you can't let it!

The 30 taxi drivers of Tuohai Travel are obviously deeply aware of this, and each of them drove directly out of the Polestar car factory, and what they can't drive and adapt to the car is fake, they just want to drive a new car.

At the same time, I went to work in advance to make some money, but after driving for a while, some drivers began to feel uncomfortable:

"Oh, this car..."

"It's really a little uncomfortable to drive, this right hand always wants to put it on the gear lever, and this oil... The electric gate is also too sensitive, and it jumps forward as soon as you step down."

"It's the same as an automatic! It's just that the shift without an automatic transmission is frustrated, but it's still comfortable."

"But... If you don't have a throttle or a pause, how do you know you're driving a car?"

"I'm not used to it, but this car is really much more comfortable than before, and this seat is really big sofa! And this central control screen, playing music? By the way, there is a car f! It's cool now, let's put on a song first!"

"Grandma's! Free f don't use it for nothing! Let me see what software is available? Yes, it's you!"

So, the veteran driver directly played a recently popular song: "... My heart is beating and my love is burning, I really don't want to look for it, my heart is beating and my love is burning..."

After a few kilometres, they were basically used to the driving rhythm of the Polestar X, except that they couldn't change gears, but they were more comfortable than the taxi they were driving before, and they didn't feel that it was a car made by a new car company.

Definitely, although Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar Motors have not been established for a long time, they have Stardust Technology behind them, and the workers in the automobile factory are also elites, and the machinery and equipment have been specially upgraded.

So even if the Polestar X is only the first car built by the Xinghan Zhixing sub-brand, it is already very sophisticated and mature in all aspects, and the driving experience is not bad.

The whole is the level that a standard 80,000 yuan tram should have, and it is not like some car companies, which are obviously built trams, so they have to install the front face of a gas car, and they also advertise that they have any oil car driving experience.

What to advertise?

The natural smoothness of the motor is how much work does the engine take to achieve? The Polestar X's motor is two notches worse than the Xinghan 001, but the starting speed still startles the veteran taxi drivers.

The old driver, who is accustomed to starting with a big foot throttle, stepped on the electric pedal, and even vaguely felt the feeling of pushing back, and the acceleration process was also very smooth, the fly in the ointment was that the acceleration after 80 was relatively weak.

After all, the main focus is on urban commuting, and the maximum speed of the Polestar X is only about 130/k, which is okay to run at high speeds once in a while, but not so good at high speeds often, which is one of the few shortcomings of the Polestar X.

Unless you add a little more money to change the star Han 001...

As soon as 30 taxis drive away, it is definitely impossible to go home, and if you don't take this opportunity to go out for a walk, I'm sorry to come early tonight to get the car!

When night falls, the light signs and empty signs on the taxi are particularly conspicuous, and the narrow front and rear lighting design makes it have a slight "sense of battle".

When these drivers were about to turn on the lights in their cars, they found that there was also a light button on the side:

"What is this?"

After opening it with curiosity, they found out that there is also an ambient light strip inside the Polestar X, and it can also be DIY colors in the center control screen, with 16 basic colors, which can be freely matched.

If you put it in more than ten years, the atmosphere lighting of Polestar X can only be considered average, but now... As soon as the ambient light is turned on, plus the LCD instrument, the central control screen, and then the music... The feeling came up all of a sudden.

「???」

"What's going on with being a little cool inexplicably?"

"! That's called driving!"

"This sense of technology... Absolutely!"

Obviously, drivers don't know what words to use to describe the current situation, and they can only come up with the word "technology", which is not high-tech, but it can make people feel happy.

want

To say how high the configuration of the Polestar X is... It's not that tall, but it's a car that makes people feel comfortable, and before they can feel it for long, someone on the side of the road starts stopping it.

These drivers are different from Chen Zifan, as long as someone stops, they stop and solicit customers.

Under the publicity of the Stardust community, major media, and brochures, many Haicheng citizens also recognized several green taxis running on the road as Polestar X, but they were fast and slow, and there was no way to stop the car.

There are also some citizens who took out their mobile phones and took a picture and uploaded it directly to the Stardust community, attracting countless netizens and locals in Haicheng to watch:

"! Already running?"

"Isn't it a road test car? Can you actually go up and sit? How do I pay? Mobile payment? Ahhh How do I feel like I don't know anything? Is there anyone going with you? Let's see how to get it!"

"Brother, add me one and add me another!"

"! I woke up to a strange night! Can you still pay for your phone?"

"According to my guess, it may be that the payment method of online shopping has been transplanted, but there is a purchase link on the Internet to go directly to the background payment, how to operate in reality? I can't figure it out..."

"The big four banks have made an announcement! Open online banking for free! If you have a card, you can open it!"

"After opening online banking, you can pay directly by mobile phone, which is more convenient than swiping the po machine, maybe the mobile phone can replace cash in the future, just take the mobile phone directly when you go out, the only problem is that the mobile phone can't be lost..."

"The two APPs of Tuohai Travel and Haicheng Bus are on the shelves, download them first! And then slowly dig into it!"

The Stardust Network is also very powerful, and after receiving Chen Zifan's notice, the two APPs were directly put on the shelves, and there is no need to worry about promoting anything, because there will be a list of new applications in the Stardust app.

Since the explosion of Polestar, many people have been paying attention to the new apps on the shelves of the Stardust app every day, looking forward to what they will find in the middle, and their wishes have been fulfilled, and each issue has a different APP on the shelves.

In addition to the apps of Stardust Technology and its subsidiaries, there are also excellent apps from other Internet companies, including games, life, learning and other fields, which continue to deepen people's time using smartphones.

Some brick families also took the opportunity to criticize, and there were also speeches about "learning better without playing games", and some parents were cynical, believing that smartphones ruined their children's futures, but in fact they were not.

Even they themselves lie on the sofa or bed every day after work and look at their mobile phones and smile like flowers, not to mention their children, in fact, children's academic performance has little to do with games, TV, and so on.

In the Stardust community, some users who have just finished riding a Polestar X taxi have started talking about their experience:

"Just finished sitting, the back seat is very comfortable, the car is also quite advanced, the back is also an electric lifting window, I use Stardust 3, can automatically connect F, but after getting out of the car, two meters F will be disconnected."

"Let me tell you, as soon as the taxi driver put the passenger down, I rushed up with a single arrow and successfully grabbed a chance to experience it..."
