Tesla is a brand that never lacks topicality. It can always win a wave of fans with new cars with outstanding performance and outstanding sense of technology. Which model is there? 3 created the myth of n sales, which is why this car has become the hottest model in Tesla. Recently, some netizens exposed the news that "Tesla refused to deliver a new car", and there will be no shortage of hot Tesla and Model, right? 3 once again pushed to the forefront, what is the truth?
For this matter, Tesla is actually "on fire." In July 2020, Pinduoduo and Yima jointly launched a "20 19 Tesla China model? 3. Kill 10,000 people in a limited time to buy a group "activity, and its hand price is only 25 1.800 yuan. 20 19 Tesla model? 3. The price has reached 2,765,438+0.55 million yuan, which means that consumers can get a discount of about 20,000 yuan when they buy a car at Pinduo, which is subsidized by Pinduo platform.
This seems to be the best of both worlds. The e-commerce platform gained traffic, Tesla sold cars, and consumers got discounts, but the facts were not so beautiful. When the group purchase attracted attention on the Internet, Tesla officially issued a statement at the first time, which probably meant that Tesla had no cooperation with Pinduoduo and Yiya, and the former did not have any form of entrusted sales service for the latter; At the same time, Tesla also said that "if consumers have any disputes or rights and interests are damaged due to the above group buying activities, Tesla will not bear any responsibility". Later, Pinduoduo also made a public statement to the effect that you can rest assured that the activity is real.
After the "first round speech" between Pinduo and Tesla, I think some users will be worried about whether the car purchase can go smoothly, and of course some users will be convinced by the promise of Pinduo. Indeed, some consumers submitted orders and paid for the car, but this led to the "second round of confrontation" between Tesla and the e-commerce platform, and it was not smooth for consumers to pick up the car. "Group buying Tesla" was once again pushed to a climax.
Relevant users broke the news that Tesla always refused to recognize the validity of activities and orders and refused to deliver new cars to the "group buying users" group. Tesla's delivery specialist said that Pinduoduo's behavior violated the resale prohibition clause clearly stipulated in Tesla's purchase terms, and Tesla would cancel the order according to the buyer's breach clause stipulated in the contract.
In response to Tesla's refusal to deliver a new car, Pinduoduo also spoke quickly. The staff of the latter said that the parties regretted Tesla's practice and supported consumers to defend their rights according to law. The platform will actively implement the delivery of vehicles.
Looking back at the specific car purchase process, a user who participated in the group purchase said that after the order was successful, he paid Yiyou more than 250,000 yuan for the car purchase, and then Yiyou also asked the user for information such as ID cards. The user said that Yi had promised to buy a car before, and the platform only helped to register and place orders in Tesla official website. Both the registration information and the owner are the user's own name.
The user also said that Tesla refused to deliver the car because it missed a sentence-the second payment was paid by Pinduoduo. At this point, Tesla began to suspect that this order was a so-called "group purchase order" and refused to deliver the new car. Subsequently, Pinduoduo found the owner and said that he was trying to solve the problem through negotiation. "They put forward different solutions, such as paying 270,000 yuan before placing an order, but buying it in someone else's name and then transferring it to my name." He said that Pinduoduo has promised that our rights and interests will be guaranteed, and if it fails, we can get a refund. At this point, we have basically understood how Tesla found that the order was a group purchase order and how to win it from many parties.
Regarding this matter, Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of China Consumer Law Research Association, said that Pinduoduo's activity page showed that there were 1 10,000 people buying a group, but only five cars were actually provided. This obtained a lot of consumer information, and the activity page also indicated that the guide price dropped by 40,000 yuan, which would mislead consumers.
At the same time, Pinduoduo publicly stated at the event that he had prepared enough new cars, but in the specific operation, he first collected the personal information of consumers, and then used the consumer information to place an order with Tesla, intending to hide the real information from Tesla.
In addition, during the event, Tesla issued a statement saying that the event used Tesla's brand for promotion activities without official authorization, but the activists did not have a car, which was suspected of disturbing Tesla's sales order and destroying the brand's trading rules, which was obviously dishonest. After Tesla's statement, platforms and stores should fully inform consumers of the risks and be suspected of infringing consumers' right to know.
So, does Tesla really have reason to refuse to deliver a new car? Deputy Secretary-General Chen also added that the dispute between Tesla and Pinduoduo could not constitute a reason for refusing to deliver the car to the owner, because even if the owner paid the car money in the third party first, the final application information and contract information would be the same. After the signing of the contract, the contractual relationship between the two parties has actually taken effect, and Tesla should deliver the vehicle to the consumer according to the contract. "Then Tesla can ask Pinduoduo and Yiyi to buy a car and bear the corresponding legal responsibilities."
At present, there is no conclusion about Pinduoduo's "buying Tesla". Can Tesla legally cancel the order? Or does the practice of e-commerce platform not infringe Tesla's legitimate rights and interests? Can consumers finally pick up their cars at a low price? Everything has to wait for further reply from Tesla and the platform.

Friends who know Tesla know that it is different from the sales of many traditional fuel vehicles. Tesla has been a direct sales model since its listing, and there have never been any agents, dealers, middlemen, etc. Not now, and I believe it won't be in the future. Take this group purchase to remind everyone that whether it is a traditional fuel vehicle or a new energy vehicle, it is recommended that you buy a car from an official authorized channel. Official is synonymous with "protection" and "rights and interests". Finally, what do you think of this "group buying Tesla"? Hypercast comments:
Except models? 3 In addition, Tesla has another topic recently, suspected of replacing the Model? News from S In August, 20 19, Porsche Taycan set a record for the fastest four-door electric car at the new Boglin circuit, and then Tesla used a model called the plaid version? S broke the previous world record. Just recently, Tesla CEO elon musk hinted on social media that Model? S is about to usher in a new generation of code grids. Porsche Taycan has made great achievements in performance, and Tesla will not sit idly by, but what models are currently on sale? S is not strong enough to beat the former, so it is imperative to change models. Sure, a new model? S's competing products will also lock Taycan.
According to previous news, models? s？ The grid version will be equipped with three motors, and it is expected to be equipped with a larger capacity power battery pack and an optimized battery thermal management system; In addition, it is reported that the car will be produced around 2020 10.
Power part, cash 20 19? s？ Performance? The official 0- 100km/h acceleration time of high-performance models is 2.9s, while Model? s？ The plaid car will accelerate more than the former. In addition, speaking of motors, 20 19, model? S/X has been equipped with Tesla's third-generation motor. In fact, the motor has been installed in the 20 17 model. 3. For a Tesla flagship model with superior performance, is Tesla a plaid model? S is equipped with the fourth generation motor? Still using the third generation motor? It is worth looking forward to.
In addition, in the battery sector, it has long been reported that Tesla is developing its own battery, and it has built a pilot battery production line in fremont. Tesla originally planned to display new batteries on Battery Day in April 2020, but the epidemic postponed the battery day to September 2020. We don't know what technological breakthrough the new battery has, but from Musk's previous statement, the battery is expected to reduce costs and optimize durability, but Musk said that the cruising range of the new battery model will not be greatly improved.
Earlier, foreign media said that Tesla will use Model? S shows you the new battery and takes this opportunity to "change the model". I wonder if Tesla will reveal more new car news? Everything will be announced on battery day in September, and we will bring you detailed reports as soon as possible.
Finally, in terms of design, it is expected that the new car will bring us some new ideas. Since the model? Since the launch of S in 20 14, the car has only been modified once. There are many speculations about the new generation models. Before that, foreign media also drew the renderings of new cars. From the picture, the appearance of the new car may be more radical, especially the front part of the car has changed greatly, and its body lines are more aggressive, and the backsliding effect is more obvious.
Tesla has always been known for its cutting-edge technology. In addition to the above aspects, I don't know the new generation model? Will s make new achievements in driving assistance? After all, there was news that Tesla was suspected of testing a new autopilot sensor. And Tesla models? 3 Practiced minimalist style in interior design, a new paradigm? Will the interior of S give a new interpretation to minimalism?

For many Tesla enthusiasts, whether it is Model? 3 or a model? S/X, they are more like "high-tech electronic products" than just a simple car and a dull means of transportation. For Tesla, a company with advanced concept, strong technical strength and abundant funds, we don't seem to have to worry that its brand-new products will be "old-fashioned" and expect Musk to continue to surprise us.
If Tesla's new product will make people excited, the following news may make many people feel depressed-BMW i8 stopped production in April 2020, and recently, BMW has completed the delivery of the last 18 i8, bid farewell to us and completed the mission of "pioneer".
After six years on the market, only more than 20,000 vehicles have been sold, which seems to be nothing to show off, but if it is accurate to the segment of luxury electric sports cars, the sales of i8 are not low. Moreover, i8 is a pioneer and leader of BMW in the field of new energy, which has brought us a truly subversive design. BMW even praised it as "the most successful plug-in hybrid sports car in the world". Therefore, its success cannot be explained by simple numbers.
2065438+On September 2, 20041day, BMW i8 was officially launched. At first, the car only launched the standard version, and the price was 1.98 million yuan. In the six years since its launch, the i8 has launched many special models. For example, in February 2020, it launched a limited edition of extreme night meteors of 2.028 million yuan.
As a sports car, i8 not only has a 0- 100km/h acceleration time of 4.6s, but also has a "sexy" appearance. "Subversive design" is not as simple as talking about it. Although i8 is "old", its low body, cool butterfly door, elegant car side lines and exaggerated tail shape are still so fashionable. At the same time, as a new energy vehicle of BMW, i8 also has family-style design and decoration of new energy attributes. Entering the car, air conditioning outlets with different shapes can also attract passengers' attention instantly, which is really interesting.
I8 is so excellent, why did it stop production? Although i8 has been crowned with various legendary titles, it is, after all, a transitional product and a bridge for BMW to turn from a traditional fuel vehicle to electrification. After all, BMW's future products will be pure electric, not hybrid. Nowadays, the competition in the global new energy market is becoming more and more fierce, and BMW cannot slack off. If we give up the niche sports car i8, BMW will have more energy to create products that really face the mass market.
Although i8 has become a thing of the past, BMW has not stopped in the field of new energy. On the contrary, BMW will accelerate the pace towards the future. Rather than stopping production of i8, BMW entered the next strategic stage with new technologies and new products. BMW has added two new definitions for 2020-"Year of New Energy Vehicles" and? "Brand Year", according to the plan, starting from 202 1, BMW plans to cut 50% of its "traditional" power transmission system business, thus making way for new energy products.
In terms of technical support, BMW has the fifth-generation eDrive electric drive technology, and the drive system can be modularized, which can adapt to different platforms and models from motors, battery packs to chargers. In the new energy vehicle plan in the next few years, BMW's pure electric vehicles will be expanded to five models before the end of 20021,including iX3, iNEXT production version and i4 production version, among which iX3, which is closer to us, will be equipped with the fifth generation electric drive system. Before 2023, the brand will realize the layout of 25 new energy vehicles, more than half of which are pure electric vehicles.

For consumers, the final delivery of BMW i8 may represent farewell, but for BMW, it should represent rebirth, new energy strategy, new energy layout and new energy products. With the curtain call of i8, it is better to review this legendary model in your mind. Do you think it is a successful product? (Text/car home? You Dong Qing)
