For people with money and pursuit of cars, what they like now is not a traditional brand. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche and Ferrari are not enough to satisfy them. They still have to look at the appearance and connotation of the car.

People from the Foreign Trade Association like cars with character, and they also like cars that are stunningly beautiful.

If you like the connotation, you usually like the car's off-road performance, performance, chassis tuning, throttle roar, etc.

In recent years, a model that car enthusiasts are looking forward to very much is Tesla's Model 1S.

The first electric car produced by Tesla was not a Model 1S, but a Roadster.

But this car is not as good as imagined. Although it has been liked by many environmentalists and affirmed by professionals, it is still far behind in terms of practical use.

Especially under their erroneous concept of "selling Tesla products to rich people", many of the roadster's operations were unbearable, and its physical performance was lagging behind. Therefore, after the initial craze, many fans chose

gave up.

After the roadster's sales fell far short of expectations, Tesla almost fell into bankruptcy.

So it happened that in June last year, Musk found his old friend, Fatty Hoffman, known as the "King of Silicon Valley Connections."

Hoffman was not ambiguous and brought him directly to Xiao Qi and asked Xiao Qi if he was interested in investing.

Xiao Qi was originally interested in the emerging technology industry, but now Masco hit his own pocket, how could he say no?

In the end, Xiao Qi bought a total of 42% of Tesla's shares twice and 21% of rocket launch company Spae's shares, becoming the largest shareholder of both companies.

Becoming a shareholder doesn't mean you don't have to worry about anything.

In the past nearly a year, Xiao Qi has continuously invested more than 300 million U.S. dollars in two companies based on equity capital for research and other expenses.

But Xiao Qi’s money was not wasted. Tesla made a new electric car at the end of last year. In January this year, Tesla had developed the Model 1s that could be mass-produced.

.

After two months of global environmental performance testing, and another two months of modifications and improvements, it finally entered the formal mass production process in June.

It is impossible for every car company to wait until the mass production of a car is completed before promoting it on the market, let alone a company like Tesla that is at the forefront of social technology.

So last year, when the prototype car just came out, the figure touching de1s ​​appeared on David's late night show.

Various test driving activities started in January this year, and a number of loyal Tesla fans were selected from around the world. They were tested throughout the process, and Traus staff just sat aside and recorded some feedback and data.

The entire process can be seen on Tesla's website. Many fans can also go to the place where they want to test the car in advance, waiting for the arrival of the Model 1s, and watch and test drive it for a short period of time.

During such an extensive testing and promotion process, it has naturally gained a lot of popularity, and Tesla Model 1S has appeared more or less on various car websites on the Internet.

Compared with high-end roadsters similar to F1 racing cars, de1s ​​is obviously a civilian sports car. Don’t doubt it. Sports cars are indeed civilian. Many sports cars in Europe and the United States only cost 500,000 yuan when converted into RMB, which is enough for the civilian population.

Already?

Mode1s has reduced many unnecessary functions and also reduced less mature functions, making it simple and practical.

In terms of the internal structure of the car, Mode1s does not involve gasoline, pipes, etc., so whether it is external space utilization or internal space comfort, it can well meet the needs of young people. Many 20-year-old young people

, I feel that I really like touching the appearance and interior of de1s.

What I like most is naturally the high-tech achievements of DE1S.

For example, battery technology that charges quickly and can run about 500 kilometers in one trip.

For example, the power output is smooth. It can achieve 70% of the effect of a real sports car.

For another example, the central control display of Tesla Touch de1s, the large 2o-inch LCD touch screen, makes people feel high-end and classy at first glance.

This LCD touch screen is twice as powerful as a dreampad and integrates most of the functions of the touch screen.

For example, changing the driving mode of the vehicle, changing the size of the car lights, changing the ambient lighting in the car, the remaining status of the vehicle battery, navigation, music, Bluetooth and other functions, you can all perform them through this large LCD touch screen.

The familiar split-screen multi-screen display operating mode already used by Fairy Company can also be displayed here, allowing the driver and passengers next to him to control multiple functions at the same time.

That's not all.

Mode1s is known as a smart electric vehicle, not only because of its LCD touch screen, but also a software called "intelligent monitoring integrated system".

The running platform is the most popular and popular Fairy system in the world. Not only all car functions can run on the Fairy system, but some intelligent safety settings can also be self-controlled through the "intelligent monitoring integrated system" built based on the Fairy system.

Regulation.

For example, it can intelligently remind you of road conditions, intelligently remind you of weather conditions, intelligently sense road conditions and allocate braking and power. It can also intelligently alarm when the battery is low, telling you when you need to charge. The nearest charging chain base

Where.

Drivers can not only enjoy the fun of driving while driving Mode1s, but also avoid many troubles and further improve safety because of the "intelligent monitoring integrated system".

Although private intelligent robots have not been used in touch de1s, this is also due to technical reasons.

Tesla staff have assured testers that Tesla is actively developing new technologies. Within three years at most, more powerful smart functions will be available on the Model 1s, which will be felt by everyone.

The best electric cars.

In fact, test drivers are far less picky.

Being able to drive such an electric sports car with a screaming appearance, driving such an electric sports car with dazzling functions, and being able to drive such a humanized and intelligent electric sports car is a great achievement for him.

Happy.

In the past few months, these test drivers have written many articles on automotive TV programs, magazines, and forums, explaining in detail their pleasant feelings.

People who can be selected as test drivers are usually experts in various automobile-related fields.

They can influence the hobbies of many young people.

Therefore, their test drive reports have been welcomed by people from the beginning. By the second month of the test drive experience, hundreds of people gathered before and after each test drive, with the largest number ever

In Las Vegas, 1200 people gathered directly, setting a world record.

With such a mass base, how can you say that Mo de1s ​​is not popular?

Even before it was announced when it would be mass-produced and launched, many people called Tesla staff and asked, when can I buy a car, what models does it come in, and how much do they cost?

Tesla certainly didn't announce it in advance.

It was not until June 6 that the price was officially announced on Tesla’s website.

There are three models of model 1s. The only difference is the battery. The model with a driving range of 26o kilometers is priced at US$578oo, the model with a range of 37o kilometers is US$678oo, and the model with a range of 48o is US$778oo.

Sales are by prepayment, and the first step is to only accept orders from users in North America.

The produced model 1s will be shipped in the order of payment, and the fastest delivery will be one month later.

This price was set by Musk himself. Although the employees felt that it was a little expensive, Musk himself was sure that the high-tech technology and strength of Mode1s were worth the price.

He was also full of confidence when communicating with various shareholders.

No one doubts Masco's ability and talent. Although the previous roadster suffered a failure, everyone is also full of confidence in Mo de1s.

Facts have proved that Musk's decision was correct.

From the moment the prepaid website started accepting reservations, Tesla received more than 170,000 orders in just ten days, which was almost beyond everyone's expectations.

You know, Tesla's factory can only produce 30,000 vehicles a month!

Just this order is enough for the Tesla factory to finish production this year.

Under such circumstances, Tesla quickly closed the prepayment system and explained the reason to everyone.

Musk personally guaranteed that Tesla will solve the productivity problem in the next six months and strive to reach 500,000 vehicles next year.

Customers who have already made a reservation and paid in advance will receive the car as agreed, but it may not be until January next year at the earliest. Tesla feels extremely sorry.

I thought I was going to be scolded, but when fans saw this situation, their first reaction was not to scold them, but to call me one after another and ask, can I reserve a car for next year?

According to statistics, more than 16,000 such calls were received within three days. Such popularity is simply jaw-dropping!
