Each of these three messages is enough to explode, and the author will share them with you one by one. First of all, the Tesla AEB test video, which was widely watched by netizens some time ago, was found to be a live test video from Xinbaojun Intelligent Challenge through online search. From the video exposed by the network, Tesla did not take proper safety measures as expected in the crossing test of the mobile dummy, and directly crashed the dummy.
This matter has caused more and more controversy on the Internet. On the one hand, Tesla authorized the Weibo account "Tesla Customer Service" to publish the view that "the inspection of the automobile industry is professional, and any informal and official inspection and out-of-context video will only mislead the masses and consumers and bring harm to the entire automobile industry"; On the other hand, some netizens and some media people commented that Tesla has doubts about the safe driving assistance function.
For these two views, both sides have produced some evidence, and the one who is not rigorous enough has produced evidence first, indicating that the test is not standardized. The evidence is the test screenshot of the new Baojun RS5 that participated in the test. Can you find it in Tesla models according to the screenshot? In the tests of 3 and Xinbaojun RS5, the startup time of the dummy is not rigorous, and the Tesla model can be clearly seen. In the test, the dummy started late.
The party who has doubts about Tesla's safety-assisted driving system has taken out some test results of Tesla at home and abroad as evidence. Like Tesla models? In 20 19 AAA pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking test, active braking failed to achieve the expected results.
In a series of five tests on NCAP in Europe, Tesla Model? 3. None of them realized automatic braking to avoid collision with pedestrians, while the Camry and Accord models that participated in the test in the same period passed many tests. At the same time, netizens also found a lot about Tesla? Models? Most of the test videos of 3 are extremely poor.
Although there are different opinions on Tesla's safety technology at the level of intelligent driving on the Internet, Tesla Model, which has received the highest evaluation from vehicle safety departments on three continents, is considered to be the safest passenger car in the world. I dare not judge whether it is safe or not.
The author is even more curious. Throughout the history of automobile development, I believe that no matter which car it is, it can't guarantee its safety and reliability. Luxury Big Three, even Volvo, which has the highest safety standard, has suffered many failures in many tests around the world.
For example, in a test in China, Mercedes-Benz E300L failed to take proper measures in active braking at a speed of 20km/h, but directly knocked down the dummy; Volvo XC60 also crashed into a dummy at a speed of 40km/h in the "ghost probe" test of China Automotive Research Institute. It can be seen that the intelligent and safe driving assistance technology of the entire automobile industry is not mature at present, not just Tesla.
The second thing is the recent hot search list of Tesla's "leek" incident. Why Tesla is so sensitive to the word "leek", I believe everyone is very clear. Therefore, many netizens also understand that Tesla prohibits employees from saying the word "leek" and prohibits canteens from eating food related to "leek", and they are also very willing to believe the truth of this matter.
But in fact, this incident is not what everyone thought or heard. Tesla officially said that "this incident does not exist and is completely unnecessary." Tao Lin, global vice president of Tesla, also responded that there was jiaozi with leek stuffing in the canteen. It seems that this incident is completely eye-catching fake news.
Finally, it is about the market value collapse caused by Tesla's global disconnection. According to foreign media reports, on the morning of September 23, Tesla's internal system was inexplicably paralyzed, which caused the internal system to stop running, unable to access the customer connection function, and unable to process delivery and order information internally. As a result, many car owners can't start the car normally, and even the owner is locked out of the car when charging.
Moreover, in this incident, some fatal defects of Tesla have made many consumers very worried. They are worried that Tesla, as a smart car, is really too dependent on the system, and the consequences will be unimaginable once problems occur. Unfortunately, after Tesla suffered a global disconnection, its share price plummeted 10.34% in early trading on the 23rd, and its market value evaporated by $40.9 billion instantly.
Through the above three things, we can find that most people in China mention that Tesla seems to like to smell gunpowder, and especially hope to see all kinds of negative news about Tesla. Can Black Tesla really make us happy? Of course, part of the reason is that Tesla's first message to consumers is that it is smart enough and safe enough. Once there is a problem, the gap in consumers' minds will be very large, and it is reasonable to have some views on it, but this is by no means the whole reason.
As one of the fastest-growing car companies in history, Tesla has crushed almost any new car-making force with its own strength, even some century-old traditional car companies that have developed very successfully. Especially for many domestic new energy vehicle companies, Tesla is undoubtedly the biggest threat. From building a factory in China, to realizing domestic production and delivering to customers, Tesla has proved its brand and product strength with time and sales volume.
With multiple opportunities such as market and policy, it is really awkward for most domestic new energy car companies to let a foreign car company play so "awkwardly". However, the reason must be clear to everyone. In the end, tens of billions of subsidies were exchanged for years of stagnation of new energy technologies. Tesla has brought so many economic barriers to some idle car companies. It is difficult to recruit black people.
Of course, it is undeniable that Tesla is not as good as advertised in the product. It is also the pressure and challenge that Tesla must bear at a certain industry height. Regardless of support or resistance, Tesla has not developed according to either side. Tesla can go today, which is decided by the market and consumers.
Tesla can achieve such results, to put it bluntly, because consumers need it. Whether it is brand reputation or product strength, Tesla has enough reasons to convince those consumers to pay for it willingly, especially in some areas where electric vehicles are just needed.
Of course, there is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, the topicality of Tesla and Musk. Whether it is blowing or black, these remarks have inadvertently promoted the development of Tesla, let more people know about Tesla, understand Tesla's history, understand Tesla's products, and understand why it sells well and why it is so black.
From Tesla's entry into the public's field of vision until today, comments on its price adjustment, rough workmanship, spontaneous combustion, automatic driving failure, low battery life, etc. are endless, and people always like to compete with many new energy vehicles. Tesla seems to have only two ways left, either to achieve great success and block everyone's mouth, or to be buried in various voices and leave in a hurry. Which ending would you rather see?
