Tesla China's official explanation is mainly aimed at domestic Tesla models? 3. The owner exposed the vehicle controller to "degradation". On the on-board list of environmental protection information of electric vehicles, the vehicle controller should be HW3.0 with the number 1462554, but in fact, the owner found that it was HW2.5 with the number 1483 1 12.
On March 2nd, we interviewed the domestic Tesla model 10 in a vehicle management office in Guangzhou. The owners all said that they were not clear about the news about the mixed installation of HW2.5 and HW3.0, and would further confirm whether there was a problem with the vehicle.
On March 3rd, we sent an interview letter to Tesla China asking how many car owners were affected. As of press time, we did not receive a reply.
First of all, different batches have different battery life. (For details, please see our previous report:
Domestic Tesla models? 3 Different batches of batteries have different capacities! The owner said that buying a car depends on luck.
The computing power difference between the two generations of chips is 2 1 times.
A new domestic Tesla model recently? 3% of car owners posted on the social media of a Tesla rider that by removing the plaque under the co-pilot glove box, it was confirmed that the vehicle controller carried by the car was HW2.5. The environmental information list of his electric car shows that his car should be equipped with HW3.0.
"Silence for Tesla." The owner is equipped with words.
The so-called HW3.0 is Elon Musk? Musk) Tesla Autonomy in April 2065438+09? The latest generation of autopilot system was released on the same day. Thanks to the great improvement of two chips in the system, its performance is 2 1 times that of the previous generation HW2.5.
In addition, elon musk also said at the press conference that all new Tesla cars have been equipped with HW3.0 since mid-April, 2065438.
With the official announcement of Tesla China on March 3rd, there are indeed some domestic Tesla models? 3 HW2.5 has been installed. In this regard, Tesla China said that the affected car owners will be provided with the service of replacing HW3.0 free of charge, but the car owners should take the initiative to make an appointment through the Tesla service center.
"I don't know about this upgrade, so is there something wrong with my car?" On March 3, domestic Tesla models? 3 The owner Adong consulted us and said that he had not received Tesla's information about replacing the chip.
In fact, it's not just Adong. When we visited Guangzhou Vehicle Management Office on March 2, we found that there were 10 domestic Tesla models on that day. None of the car owners know HW2.5 and HW3.0, so we are based on Guangzhou-Tesla model? Owner X's car experience and network information have sorted out the following distinguishing skills between HW2.5 and HW3.0:
1.？ Observe whether the vehicle can recognize the "ice cream cone" and display the red "ice cream cone" pattern on the screen. If it can be displayed, it is HW3.0.
2.？ Remove the decorative plate in front of the co-pilot glove box with a crowbar or a screwdriver, and observe the code of the external label of an electronic component inside. If the code is "1462554", it is HW3.0, and if the code is "1483 1 12", it is HW2.5.
It is worth mentioning that some car owners report that the image quality of Tesla's own driving recorder will vary from chip to chip.
The core components are in frequent condition.
This time, the vehicle controller is mixed, and it is already a domestic Tesla model? 3. The core component problem occurred for the second time in a short time.
Last week, due to the difference between Panasonic and LG batteries, the battery life of different batches of vehicles was different. Domestic Tesla models? 3 caused widespread concern.
"Compared with HW3.0 and HW2.5, I have always called for attention to the batteries of Panasonic and LG, which are likely to be very different when used." On March 2, KOL Hard Brother, a well-known new energy vehicle, publicly stated on social media, "I can't accept the mixing of the two. The good side is that the battery life is different, and the low temperature and charging performance are more critical. "
We understand that according to the Catalogue of New Energy Vehicles Exempted from Vehicle Purchase Tax (29th Batch), which Tesla models are made in China? There are two models of this car. According to the "Automobile Energy Consumption Label" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there is a NEDC battery life gap of 10km between them, and another owner said that the actual vehicle environment battery life gap can reach 20km.
"Some riders changed cars." On March 2nd, domestic Tesla models? Miss Li, the owner of the car, told us, "His car battery can't be charged when it is 326km. He contacted Tesla on social media and has now promised to change cars. "
We understand that two battery versions of domestic Tesla models? 3 equipped with Panasonic and LG power batteries respectively. At present, most car owners have developed the habit of favoring Panasonic batteries. I am more interested in the requirements of the owner when booking a car. It must be a Panasonic battery car to pick up the car.
"This is Tesla's action to reduce the cost of power battery," Zeng Piquan, deputy secretary-general of china automobile dealers association New Energy Automobile Branch, said in an interview on March 3. With the advancement of localization, Tesla is bound to make adjustments on this battery, and the future cooperation with Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. may bring greater changes.
On March 3rd, we will make domestic models? 3 Using different brands of power batteries, I sent an interview letter to Tesla China to learn more about the situation. As of press time, I didn't get a reply.
Interestingly, two kinds of batteries plus two generations of on-board controllers mean that the owner who recently picked up the car faces four possibilities: one is Panasonic battery+HW 3.0; Second, Panasonic battery+HW 2.5; Third, LG battery+HW 3.0; Four: LG battery +HW2.5.
